Manchester United are ramping up their pursuit of Atalanta powerhouse Ederson with “new contacts” expected to take place this week, Fabrizio Romano reveals. Brazilian Behemoth United have a long-standing interest in Ederson, 26, who has established himself as one of Serie A’s best box-to-box midfielders at the Stadio di Bergamo. The Athletic describes him as a “player managers adore” as he is outstanding at “patrolling the pitch between both boxes” and possesses an unrelenting engine. “He might not always get the headlines, but he is a crucial cog in the wider team dynamic that allows others around him to play at full tilt,” the analysis concludes. Advances were made to sign the Brazil international last summer, but Atalanta’s prohibitive asking price killed any chance of a deal. However, with a contract that expires next year, La Dea are now prepared to sanction an exit in order to avoid losing him on a free transfer. Atletico Madrid were considered frontrunners after agreeing personal terms with Ederson, but club-to-club talks are yet to yield a similar result. This has allowed others, including the Red Devils and Arsenal, to enter the fray. United’s hierarchy have maintained dialogue with the Campo Grande native over the past twelve months, with talks accelerating in recent weeks to gauge the viability of a summer swoop. Now, INEOS appear ready to make another attempt to secure his signature. Talks planned this week Italian transfer expert Romano reveals fresh negotiations are planned “in the next days” to discuss Ederson’s future — with United at the front of the queue. 🚨 New contacts will take place in the next days for Éderson’s future with Manchester United interested. He’s one of the names on the shortlist for midfield, not the only one + more options being considered. Éderson would be open to joining #MUFC as Atalanta ask around €45m. pic.twitter.com/K82FjrQu42 — Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) May 21, 2026 Tweet: “New contacts will take place in the next days for Éderson’s future with Manchester United interested. He’s one of the names on the shortlist for midfield, not the only one + more options being considered. Éderson would be open to joining #MUFC as Atalanta ask around €45m.” The Brazilian is described as “open” to a switch to Old Trafford, with Atalanta asking for a fee in the region of €45m (£39m). This is significantly cheaper than the demands last year, but remains a sizeable outlay for a player who turns 27 in June and whose contract expires in twelve months’ time. Serie A expert Gianluca Di Marzio confirms United’s interest in Ederson, further revealing there is “confidence” he will be wearing a red shirt next season. Atletico are said to have fallen behind in the race, while Di Marzio claims there is complete certainty the midfielder has played his last game for Atalanta. Final Thoughts Ederson is an all-action dynamo with excellent physicality and an even better work-rate. However, his best moments come without the ball, offering a stark comparison to Manuel Ugarte — one of the midfielders United are desperate to replace this summer. While a player’s out-of-possession work is important, it must never be at the expense of their ability to progress play and control a game. Technique beats physique at the top level of football, as Paris Saint-Germain’s imperious side continue to resoundingly prove. United would be better served targeting a midfielder with more brains than brawn this summer, even if it costs more than the price required to sign Ederson. Quality over quantity must be the mantra at the Theatre of Dreams.

United now in pole position to sign Brazilian brute with fresh talks planned this week – Fabrizio Romano
United battle Europe’s elite for PL rival’s prized jewel, Wilcox leading “personal mission” to strike deal – report
Manchester United’s pursuit of Lewis Hall has been rocked after Bayern Munich stormed into the race for the 21-year-old full-back, according to a new report. Reinforcements Out Wide While a revamp in central midfield is the most pressing priority for the Red Devils this summer, reinforcements on the left-hand side are also on the agenda. Initially, it was believed that a left-winger was being targeted to provide a more natural option on that flank than either Matheus Cunha or Patrick Dorgu, who do their best work elsewhere on the pitch. However, the improved performances by both players has seen a left-back rise in importance, as Dorgu’s deployment further forward leaves Luke Shaw as the only senior option in the squad. While the 30-year-old has impressed this season, managing to play in every single Premier League match, the lighter schedule — with no European football and early exits from the cups — has been the main factor in this. With a return to the Champions League locked in for next year, an alternative to Shaw must be found or the club risks the England international’s body breaking down under the increased workload. And it is a fellow English left-back in Hall who has emerged as United’s primary target, with the Newcastle star understood to be open to a departure from St James’ Park this summer. TEAMtalk confirms the Cobham graduate, whom Chelsea sold to the Magpies for £35 million, is one of the “leading options to strengthen Michael Carrick’s squad ahead of next season.” Sporting director Jason Wilcox is a “big admirer” and is said to have made it his “personal mission” to bring Hall to Old Trafford. “Hall’s profile is regarded as hugely attractive internally due to his athleticism, technical quality and ability to operate aggressively both in and out of possession,” the report states. Bayern Enter the Race TEAMtal states United are not alone in their admiration of Hall, however, as he is “attracting serious attention from several elite clubs across England and abroad.” Both Arsenal and Liverpool are interested in pursuing a deal, while Bayern — fresh from securing the Bundesliga title under Vincent Kompany — are now “showing particularly strong interest.” The German giant is already locked in talks with Newcastle over Anthony Gordon, a player who has been on United’s radar in the past twelve months. They are also said to be keeping tabs on Tino Livramento. “Sources close to Bayern believe the club see full-back as one of the few remaining weak points within an otherwise elite squad, and Hall’s age, versatility and attacking quality are all traits highly appreciated internally.” There has been an increased focus on signing Premier League stars by Bayern after the successful imports of Harry Kane and Luis Diaz. And the project on offer at the Allianz Arena will be a tempting one in comparison to Old Trafford, where United are just beginning their ascent back to the summit of European football. Final Thoughts Newcastle’s position on Hall, who is a boyhood fan from a family of die-hard Magpies, is absolute: they have “absolutely no intention” to sanction a sale this summer. The youngster is considered one of the pillars Eddie Howe will rebuild the side around after a dismal campaign on Tyneside. However, the lack of European football and financial difficulties could force Newcastle to let their most prized assets on the pitch depart in order to balance the books off it. If the left-back becomes suddenly available, United must strike to secure his signature — or risk one of their major rivals getting there first.

However, it should be remembered that the Red Devils might need three new midfielders alongside Kobbie Mainoo, especially if they succeed in offloading Manuel Ugarte.United cannot afford to splash immense transfer fees on three different players in the same department, especially with some of their targets costing £100 million or more.
