Manchester United has reached a full agreement with Atalanta for the transfer of midfielder Ederson. The transfer fee is set at €40.5 million, with an additional €4.5 million potentially added in bonuses.
The Brazilian's move to Old Trafford is now considered a mere formality. Although he had agreed personal terms with Atlético Madrid last month, the Spanish club was unable to meet Atalanta's financial demands.
After Manchester United matched the player's terms and offered a higher transfer fee, the English giants became the sole realistic contender for his signature. Negotiations over the finer details spanned several weeks, but according to "The Athletic," Fabrizio Romano, and other leading journalists, both clubs have now shaken hands on the deal.
Ederson's contract with Manchester United will run until June 2030, with an option to extend for an additional season.
This transfer marks another masterful move by Atalanta, who acquired the Brazilian from Salernitana in the summer of 2022 for €22.9 million.
