Report Ederson wants Atletico Madrid, but Manchester United still have hope
Sportitalia transfer pundit Alfredo Pedullà warns Manchester United can still get Ederson from Atalanta, as Atletico Madrid are too far off the €40m asking price.
The midfielder is widely expected to leave Bergamo at the end of the season, especially as his current contract only runs to June 2027, so time is running out to organise an extension.
It is also no secret that there are two clubs particularly eager to secure his services in the summer, namely Atletico Madrid and Manchester United.
