Manchester United are in advanced talks to make Atalanta's Brazil midfielder Ederson their first summer signing, according to multiple sources including BBC Sport. The deal is close to completion, with an initial fee of £35 million, plus £3 million in add-ons, likely for the 26-year-old.
Ederson, who joined Atalanta from Salernitana in 2022, has been a key player for the Serie A side, helping them reach the Europa League final. The Brazilian's performances have attracted interest from several top European clubs, but Manchester United appear to be leading the race for his signature.
The transfer would bolster United's midfield options under manager Erik ten Hag, who is looking to strengthen the squad ahead of the 2026-27 season. The club has not yet confirmed the deal, but negotiations are reportedly at an advanced stage.
