Man United has shown willingness to pay £51 million to acquire Atalanta’s Ederson who remains the main midfield target of manager Ruben Amorim. United looks for midfield additions to replace Casemiro because of his expensive £350,000 weekly salary while also securing Christian Eriksen’s future after his June expiration date. Various sources report Ederson as the preferred candidate because of his successful displays with Atalanta throughout his 2022 season. The ability to fill in as a six, eight, and ten gives Ederson standing as a suitable addition for United’s developing team structure.

Ederson’s Versatility Makes Him A Key Target For Man United

Calciomercato reports that United places Ederson at the top of their goalkeeper targets as the club is prepared to offer a £51 million transfer fee. Atalanta’s top-flight success can be attributed to 25-year-old Brazilian player who started only one Serie A match this season. His functional versatility throughout the midfield positions enhances his attractiveness to United’s rebuilding project. The club wants to replace Casemiro with Ederson because his capabilities correspond to the tactical plans of manager Amorim and meet United’s search for a youth-oriented dynamic midfielder.
