Report: Liverpool and Man United are involved in the tug of war with £63 million midfielders

According to Tutto Atalanta, Premier League giants Liverpool and Manchester United are trapped in a fight to secure the services of Atalanta’s Brazilian midfielder Edason.

The 25-year-old, who contributed to Atalanta’s midfield, has entered the final year of his contract and is spurring attention from top European clubs.

Ederson’s performance was not noticed, and both English clubs began preliminary contacts with Atalanta to explore the possibility of a transfer.

The midfielder’s contract status, coupled with Atalanta’s administrative changes, has made his departure more and more possible.

Liverpool wants a new central midfielder

Liverpool is keen to bolster their midfield options, especially after missing out on key target Martin Zubimendi last summer when they are scheduled to join Arsenal.

Ederson appears as an alternative, offering both defensive solidity and creative talent.

Meanwhile, Manchester United has been undergoing a midfield overhaul, with uncertainty surrounding Christian Eriksen’s departure and the future of Casemiro and Cobby Mine.

Manager Reuben Amorim sees Ederson as a key component in rebuilding the team’s midfield this summer.

Atalanta is set to request a large price

Ederson is reportedly valued at £63 million (€75 million), but given the imminent expiration of his contract, he speculates that the club is willing to negotiate a low fee to avoid losing him on a free transfer next year.

Competition for Adason’s signature is expected to intensify, with both Liverpool and Man United looking to strengthen their team ahead of the new season.

Both clubs moved early this summer with Liverpool sealing the signature of right-wing back Jeremy Fripon, but the Red Devils have reached an agreement on signing wolf attacker Matthews Cunya.
