Ederson Awaiting Manchester United's Final Decision on €45m Transfer

In an unexpected turn of events, reports suggest that Manchester United has yet to make a definitive decision regarding the acquisition of Ederson from Atalanta, following his medical examinations.

The initial agreement for the transfer was reached on June 2nd, with a base fee of €40.5 million and an additional €4.5 million in potential add-ons.

The completion of the deal was delayed because the player was with the Brazilian national team in the United States for the 2026 World Cup, where he only underwent preliminary medical tests.

Ederson's Future Remains Uncertain

The Premier League club requested further medical assessments to investigate a specific issue. After 48 hours of these scans, numerous sources initially reported that Manchester United had decided to withdraw from the transfer agreement.

Prominent outlets such as Sky Sport Italia, Fabrizio Romano, and Sportitalia had all stated that Manchester United had informed Atalanta of their decision not to proceed with the transfer.

However, more recent reports from BBC Sport, Sky Sports Deutschland, and other sources indicate that a final decision has not yet been made.

Italian media outlets had appeared confident that Ederson did not have any serious injury concerns, leading to speculation that Manchester United had simply reconsidered their position over the past five weeks.

It is therefore possible that Manchester United intends to renegotiate the terms of the transfer. However, Atalanta may not be amenable to such discussions.
