Manchester United Withdraws from Ederson Deal, Newcastle United Remains Interested

Serie A club Atalanta suffered a setback in their efforts to sell midfielder Ederson after Manchester United decided to withdraw from the transfer. The move followed concerns regarding the player’s medical condition, while the Red Devils simultaneously secured a deal for Andrey Santos.

Despite the collapsed transfer, reports confirm that the Brazilian midfielder remains available on the market. Atalanta continues to seek a fee of approximately €45 million for Ederson, a figure Manchester United was initially prepared to meet.

Following the breakdown in talks, Newcastle United has emerged as a potential suitor for the player. While Atalanta maintains there are no legitimate concerns regarding the midfielder’s fitness, Manchester United has clearly moved on to other targets.

Potential Discount for Newcastle United

The uncertainty surrounding the failed transfer could create an opportunity for Newcastle United to acquire Ederson at a reduced price. As the transfer window approaches its conclusion, Atalanta may face pressure to secure a sale. This situation could force the Italian club to lower their current €45 million valuation to facilitate a deal.
