Man. United Target Confirms Transfer "Practically Done"

Atalanta midfielder Éderson has confirmed his transfer to Manchester United is "practically done," shortly after making his World Cup debut. The Brazilian is a priority target for the Red Devils in the summer transfer window, as Michael Carrick looks to revamp the team's midfield following Casemiro's free transfer departure to Inter Miami.

According to English media reports, an agreement has already been reached with the Italian club for a fee around €40 million, though the deal's formalities are yet to be finalized. It was initially believed that Manchester United would have to wait for the conclusion of the process, as Éderson was called up to the Brazil squad for the 2026 World Cup, replacing the injured Wesley.

However, the player himself has publicly indicated that the move is nearing completion. Speaking to Tuttosport, he stated: "It's practically all sorted." Despite the imminent switch to Old Trafford, Éderson emphasized that, for now, his focus remains on savoring the opportunity to represent his country at the World Cup. "I have to make the most of this moment. I'm here, and it's something wonderful, something that should always be lived to the fullest," he added.

The 26-year-old now boasts four caps for Brazil, with his most recent appearance coming in a brief cameo during the 3-0 victory over Haiti. However, Éderson is not expected to be the only midfield reinforcement for United this summer. The Red Devils have also been linked with other midfielders, including Elliot Anderson and Adam Wharton. West Ham's Mateus Fernandes has also been identified as a potential target.
