Man Utd 'Offered' Chance to Sign Midfielder in £21.5m Deal
Manchester United have agreed to sign Atalanta midfielder Ederson for a $47 million fixed fee, plus $5 million in potential add-ons, with the 26-year-old signing a four-year contract at Old Trafford pending an early July medical.
Manager Michael Carrick prioritized replacing departing midfielder Casemiro, securing the Brazilian who accumulated 180 appearances for Atalanta since 2022 as his first signing of the inaugural full season.
Ederson's Atalanta contract expiring in 2027 facilitated the financially appealing move, while the agreement includes an option for a fifth year, securing the midfielder's services until at least 2030.
Turning their attention to other reinforcements, the Red Devils retain a strong interest in West Ham United's Manuel Fernandes following the London club's relegation from the Premier League.
Regarding defensive reinforcements, West Ham United left back El Hadji Malick Diouf has emerged as a potential pivot option if the club misses out on other targets or decides to spend big elsewhere.
