Ederson to Man Utd
Now, Pedulla reports that Man Utd held talks with Atalanta to sort out some paperwork of Rasmus Hojlund’s move that happened last summer and they submitted a £42m[€50m] offer during the meeting to sign Ederson.
The journalist says Man Utd have been following the South American over the last few years and they appreciate the player so they made an attempt to sign him.
However, Italian says that La Dea have rejected the proposal as they have no intention of letting their star man leave late in this transfer window.
Ederson is a defensive midfielder and is more of a play-breaker. However, he is comfortable with possession and has the ability to dribble past opposition defenders.
The midfielder enjoyed a stellar campaign last term, helping his side overcome more than six decades of trophy drought by winning the Europa League.
The 25-year-old is a talented player and could’ve been a shrewd acquisition for United had they managed to sign him. But, it looks like Ugarte is their primary target and are focused on hiring him before the deadline.
Meanwhile, Ten Hag’s side have already splashed over £130m to sign Joshua Zirkzee, Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui and Leny Yoro. So, it is going to be interesting to see how much money they’ll eventually spend this summer.
