Manchester United are in advanced talks to sign Atalanta midfielder Ederson.

According to Fabrizio Romano, all parties are close to reaching an agreement, but the Brazilian is still waiting for Manchester United’s decision on whether to go and finalise the transaction.

Ederson is reportedly looking to leave Atalanta, and the Red Devils are talking about a five-year agreement around €45-50 million.

Meanwhile, Atalanta manager Raffaele Palladino did not play Ederson in his side’s Serie A clash against Fiorentina on Friday as he confirmed that there were concrete negotiations for the 26-year-old.

“Éderson didn’t play today because there are concrete negotiations with a top club,” Palladino said.
