Ederson to finalise Man Utd move after World Cup with Brazil: the details

Ederson has personally confirmed that his move to Manchester United is effectively done, with the Atalanta midfielder declaring “it’s practically almost all sorted” in an interview with Sky Sport, leaving only the formality of a signature to complete what will be one of the summer’s most significant Serie A departures.

The Brazilian, currently on World Cup duty with the Seleção, is determined to keep his focus on the tournament before turning his attention fully to his club future.

“I have to make the most of this moment,” he said, with quotes via TuttoSport.

“I am here and it is a wonderful thing, something you must always live to the fullest.”

His involvement so far has been limited, having started from the bench in the opening game against Morocco before picking up minutes in the victory over Haiti.

Atalanta pocket mega profit as Ederson ends four-year Bergamo chapter

The deal will see Manchester United pay approximately €45 million to Atalanta, another significant capital gain for the Bergamo club, who signed Ederson from Salernitana for a fraction of that fee.

The 26-year-old has been one of Serie A’s standout midfielders across four seasons in Bergamo, and United are signing a player at the peak of his powers.

The formal completion of the transfer is expected once Brazil’s World Cup campaign concludes.
