Manchester United are still in the hunt for Brazilian midfielder Ederson, with the 26-year-old expected to leave Atalanta when the season concludes. The "relentless" star has been a key figure in Bergamo since his arrival, quickly establishing himself as one of Serie A's most complete midfielders under Gian Piero Gasperini. However, a challenging campaign and Gasperini's departure last summer have set the stage for Ederson's exit.

Atletico Madrid once looked like the frontrunner, with personal terms already agreed. But the Spanish side has hit a wall in negotiations with Atalanta, who are holding firm at a €45 million (£39m) asking price. With Ederson's contract set to expire next year, the Colchoneros are balking at the fee, and transfer insider Fabrizio Romano now suggests the deal could collapse entirely.

Romano has urged fans to "keep an eye on the Premier League," revealing that Manchester United and another unnamed English club remain "keen" on the Brazilian. While Ederson isn't United's top priority, he's seen as a viable fallback option if other targets fall through.

United's midfield rebuild is shaping up to be a major storyline this summer. With Casemiro heading out and Manuel Ugarte on the transfer list, the club needs at least two—and possibly three—new faces in the engine room. Ederson could be the perfect fit for a squad looking to blend grit with technical quality, making this a saga worth watching for any fan tracking the Red Devils' next move.
