Following internal evaluations, Manchester United have concluded that Atalanta star Ederson would be an ideal midfield addition and are considering stepping up their interest in the midfielder.
The Brazilian has attracted the attention of several European giants in recent months, including Liverpool, as he established himself as one of the most complete midfielders on the international stage.
Manchester United ready to step up interest in Ederson
However, the Red Devils appear highly eager to bring him to Old Trafford, and according to Tuttomercatoweb, internal discussions among scouts and directors have singled him out as the ideal replacement for Casemiro.
As a result, Manchester United have shown increased interest in the 25-year-old in recent weeks, and they are expected to approach La Dea soon to initiate talks for next summer.
With Champions League qualification at least for the knockout phase playoff looking almost sure and an ongoing 11-match winning streak propelling them to the top of Serie A, Atalanta are not open to letting Ederson go in January to keep their chances of winning silverware fully alive.
Moreover, the midfielder’s price tag is expected to be at least as high as Teun Koopmeiners’, who was sold to Juventus last summer in a deal worth nearly €60m, add-ons included.
