‘Spectacular’ Ederson available at £26m
A report in Tutto Mercato Web states that Manchester United and Atletico Madrid are the latest teams in the frame for Ederson.
But Richard Hughes can’t miss a deal for one of Europe’s most “spectacular” midfielders – as described by the player’s agent Andre Cury.

Particularly as he will be available at a stunning discount. Previously valued at between £52m and £60m it looks like Atalanta would be willing to do a deal for around half of that – £26m.
“The valuation is falling,” the report reads.
“Last summer, Atalanta’s starting asking price was between €60 and €70 million. A high figure, but justified by the player’s quality, his young age, his multi-year contract, and a performance that had put him on the radar of Europe’s biggest clubs.
“A year later, that figure is no longer sustainable. The valuation starts at least €30 million: half, or even less, than it was twelve months ago.”

Ederson: Situation summary
Ederson is a key starter for Atalanta, but his medium‑term future is uncertain due to contract and transfer dynamics.
Role and form
Ederson has developed into one of Atalanta’s most important midfielders, trusted in a high‑intensity, box‑to‑box role and regularly starting in Serie A and the Champions League. He is viewed as a physically strong, tactically disciplined presence who contributes in and out of possession, which is why Atalanta have repeatedly resisted offers from major clubs over the last two seasons.
Contract and injuries
His contract with Atalanta runs to June 2027, putting the club under some pressure to either renew or sell before his value declines. In late summer 2025 he suffered a meniscus problem that kept him out for several weeks at the start of the 2025‑26 season, but this was treated as a medium‑term setback rather than a long‑term issue.
