Serie A
After Manchester United Newcastle United target Atalanta Ederson
€45 million is the price Atalanta have set for Brazilian defender Ederson, matching Manchester United’s original offer before the Red Devils pulled out, and the figure now drives renewed interest from Newcastle United after United’s withdrawal, as the transfer window edges toward its deadline.
Orazio Accomando now confirms the Serie A star remains on the market. Newcastle United have emerged as the next suitor.
Atalanta suffered a huge blow in their attempts to sell Ederson after Manchester United withdrew from the deal. The club’s hopes were further dented by concerns over the defender’s medical condition.
Despite the medical worries, the Red Devils had already sealed a move for Andrey Santos. That signing underscored Manchester United’s willingness to invest in Brazilian talent.
Accomando, reporting under his first name Orazio, clarified that the Brazilian remains available on the transfer market. His statement leaves the door open for other Premier League clubs.
Newcastle United have entered the picture and could negotiate a discount given the circumstances. Clubs may view the lingering fitness doubts as leverage to lower the price.
As the transfer window draws to a close, Atalanta could become desperate for a sale, potentially accepting a valuation below the €45 million asking price. The journalist warns that this urgency may benefit Newcastle.
