Romano claims Man United has “discussed” securing “fantastic signing” which will be “the perfect player for Ruben Amorim”

Atalanta midfielder Ederson is the top transfer target for Manchester United, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano said the Brazilian player was seen as an ideal compatibility for Ruben Amorim’s style of play:

“Man United has discussed players internally. He is highly valued. They believe he will be a fantastic signing – [he] Can score goals, can provide assists everywhere on the field. Internally, they believe he is the perfect player for Ruben Amorim … “

“Ederson is seen as one of the perfect candidates, not the only one but one of the perfect candidates for midfield but Atalanta will not make it easy and Man United knows that Atalanta will not negotiate now so that it will not be a similar case with [Matheus] Cunha – This is not an agreement for now, it’s something to be seen in the summer. “

Romano has also explained that the midfielder will be more expensive than € 45 million reported (£ 38.6 million) which is recommended several recent reports as the requested price:

“There will be more clubs because Ederson is not only in the Man United list; there are more clubs interested in players, but appreciation in Ederson is 100% confirmed, so Man United is like a player. Man United considers Ederson as the best midfielder, but again, when you see more than 40, 45 million euros for Ederson, my understanding, but more.”

How much is Ederson?

Italian website TMW reported A few weeks ago that Atalanta’s assessment was closer to € 60 million (£ 51.5 million) so it was not in accordance with what Romano said.

Of course, considering that United have to play smart in the transfer market this summer, it still needs to be seen if they can collect the funds needed to make a fairly high offer for Ederson the club will receive.

Man United is set for a very busy summer

It seems like the next few months can see the dramatic improvement from the first team squad. It is hoped that there will be a lot of expenses as obtained.

£ 92.5 million can be spent At Matheus Cunha and Ipswich Liam Delap, while an additional £ 50 million+ will be needed for Ederson, so the club will hope to raise money from the sale of several players. Marcus Rashford, Antony, and potentially even Alejandro Garnacho can all be demolished.
