Manchester United and Atalanta have finalized all necessary documentation for the transfer of Éderson, in a deal reportedly worth €45 million (fixed fee plus add-ons). This information was reported on Saturday by Fabrizio Romano, a renowned transfer journalist. The agreement with the midfielder had been in place since May, and with all details now settled between the clubs, the signing is complete.
Éderson had long been a target for several top clubs, but he prioritized Manchester United. The fact that his previous contract was set to expire in the summer of 2027 allowed the English club to negotiate a significantly lower fee than what had previously been rumored in the market.
This signing marks a determined start to the transfer window for United, who needed to bolster their midfield following Casemiro's departure. It is likely the club will seek further reinforcements in this area, considering the possibility of more exits and Michael Carrick's team qualifying for the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League.
Since joining Atalanta in 2022/2023, Éderson has scored three goals and provided three assists in 41 appearances for the Italian club this season.
