Manchester United are interested in signing Atalanta midfielder Ederson Dos Santos in the summer transfer window. The 26-year-old Brazilian has been a key player for the Italian club and is described as a complete central midfielder. Manchester United want more creativity, control, and defensive cover in midfield, and Ederson could provide those qualities while potentially forming a partnership with Kobbie Mainoo. A reported agreement with Atalanta is said to be in place, with the deal nearly completed. The transfer fee is reported as €48 million plus €5 million in bonuses. Ederson is expected to help both ends of the pitch, with 16 goals for Atalanta, and to justify the investment as Manchester United aim for major trophies after securing Champions League qualification.
"Manchester United are interested in signing the Atalanta midfielder Ederson Dos Santos during the summer transfer window. The 26-year-old Brazilian has been a key player for the Italian club. Manchester United need more creativity, control and defensive cover in the middle of the park. The Brazilian is a complete central midfielder who could be an asset for them. He could form a solid partnership with Kobbie Mainoo."
"According to journalist Michele Criscitiello, Manchester United has an agreement with the Italian club on all fronts, and the deal is almost closed. They will pay 48 million plus 5 million in bonuses for the Brazilian. The opportunity to play in the Premier League will be exciting for the South American, and he will look to make his mark in England."
"Manchester United have done well this season and secured Champions League qualification. They will look to push for major trophies next year, and they need quality players at their disposal. Ederson could make a huge difference for them in the middle of the park. If they can support him with a quality defensive midfielder, there is no reason why Manchester United cannot excel in the middle of the park next year."
"The midfielder has scored 16 goals during his time at the Italian club, and he will look to help out at both ends of the park at Manchester United. The investment could look steep right now, but the 26-year-old is at the peak of his powers, and he could justify the investment in the coming seasons."
