Real Madrid and Manchester United are both keeping a close eye on Ederson, the talented midfielder currently playing for Atalanta. They are both interested in potentially signing him next summer, and have begun initial discussions with the club. Ederson has made a name for himself as a top defensive midfielder in Italian football ever since he joined Salernitana three years ago, after leaving his previous team Corinthians in Brazil.
Despite only playing in 15 matches for Salernitana, Ederson's impressive skills caught the attention of Atalanta, who signed him for £19 million. Since then, he has become a fan favorite in Bergamo, playing a key role in the team's historic Europa League campaign last season. Atalanta even beat Bayer Leverkusen, who had been unbeaten, to secure their first ever European trophy. This season, Ederson has continued to shine, starting in almost all of Atalanta's Serie A matches and impressing in the Champions League, where he was named man-of-the-match in a goalless draw against Arsenal in September.
According to reports, Real Madrid has taken notice of Ederson's talent and has begun informal talks with Atalanta to discuss the possibility of signing him as a secondary addition to their main midfield target, Martin Zubimendi. Madrid has been on the lookout for midfield reinforcements for some time now, and Ederson made a big impression on them during Atalanta's 3-2 defeat to Madrid last month. However, Manchester United also remains in the race for Ederson and is seriously considering making a bid for the Brazilian, along with local rivals Manchester City.
Atletico Madrid is also interested in Ederson, having made a £46 million offer for him last summer, which was ultimately unsuccessful. Atalanta has made it clear that they will not entertain any offers for Ederson in the January transfer window, but they may be open to a sale in the summer, with a price tag of around £50 million. Ederson's current contract with Atalanta runs until 2027.
In a recent interview, Ederson expressed his curiosity about playing in the Premier League in the future, but he is currently focused on his national team's upcoming matches. He stated that he is very happy at Atalanta and is not worried about his future at the moment. However, he did admit that he is curious about the Premier League and is open to the possibility of playing there in the future. He also mentioned that he is still growing as a player and has more to prove, so he may stay in Italy for a while longer before considering a move elsewhere.
It seems that both Real Madrid and Manchester United are actively looking for midfield reinforcements, and Ederson's impressive performances have caught their attention. While they continue to monitor his progress, Ederson's main focus is on doing well with the Brazilian national team and leaving a positive impression during his first call-up. He is dedicated to making the most of his current moment and is not letting transfer rumors distract him. Only time will tell where Ederson's future will take him, but for now, he is fully focused on his current team and national team.
