​Atalanta’s pursuit to move Ederson took a significant hit when Manchester United withdrew from the negotiations, leaving the Serie A club facing a major setback. There had been lingering questions about the Brazilian defender’s medical status, though United had already secured the signing of Andrey Santos, which compounded the uncertainty surrounding Ederson’s future. Orazio Accomando has provided an update, reiterating that Ederson remains available on the market despite the recent developments.
Atalanta are understood to be seeking around €45 million to part with Ederson, a figure that approximates what United were prepared to offer for the player. In the current landscape, Newcastle United have emerged as a new potential destination, and the journalist highlights the possibility of their involvement shaping Ederson’s path forward. There is also an impression that Atalanta do not harbor any ongoing fitness concerns about the defender, and United’s decision to step away may have effectively signaled their lack of pursuit for now.
Given how events have unfolded, some clubs may view Ederson with increased caution, which could open the door for Newcastle United to negotiate a reduced fee. As the transfer window nears its end, Atalanta might find themselves under pressure to clear stock, potentially pushing the asking price lower than the current valuation. With the market’s volatility, a downturn in the price could become plausible if other suitors become wary or if Atalanta face urgency to sell before the window closes.
