Éderson has agreed personal terms with Manchester United and paused all talks wirh other clubs since last week
Manchester United are reportedly closing in on the signing of Atalanta midfielder Éderson, with sources indicating that both clubs have reached a broad agreement on a transfer package valued at under €45 million, including add-ons.
The Brazilian midfielder has been identified as a key target for United as they look to strengthen their central midfield options ahead of the new season, with his energy, ball progression and defensive work rate making him an attractive profile for the Premier League side.
Reports suggest that negotiations between Manchester United and Atalanta have progressed positively, with the Italian club open to selling the player if their valuation is met, especially given his contract situation which runs until 2027.
While some early figures placed the deal lower, more recent updates indicate the total package could rise depending on performance-related bonuses, though the base agreement is understood to remain within the €40–45 million range.
Éderson has been heavily scouted by United over the past months, with club recruitment staff viewing him as a long-term midfield solution capable of adding balance and physicality to the squad.
The 25-year-old has been a standout performer for Atalanta in Serie A and European competitions, earning attention from several top European clubs before United moved ahead in discussions.
It is reported that personal terms are not expected to be a major issue, with the player open to a move to Old Trafford should the clubs finalize the agreement.
However, despite strong reports of an agreement in principle, no official confirmation has been made by either Manchester United or Atalanta, meaning the deal is still subject to final approval and formal steps such as medical examinations.
If completed, the signing would represent a significant addition to United’s midfield rebuild project under their ongoing squad restructuring plans.
