Manchester United reportedly had a £42.5million bid rejected for Atalanta's star Ederson. The Brazilian midfielder has become a prime target for Erik ten Hag as the transfer deadline approaches next week. According to Alfredo Pedulla, United made an offer for Ederson during a meeting with Atalanta officials on Wednesday. United's formal bid of £42.5m was immediately declined by Atalanta, who are reportedly unwilling to sell Ederson so close to the deadline.

Manchester United have submitted a €50m bid for Atalanta midfielder Ederson, despite nearing a deal for PSG's Manuel Ugarte. The Red Devils are keen on strengthening their midfield, with Ederson catching their eye after his performance in the Europa League final. Atalanta, however, are reluctant to sell him before the transfer window closes, especially with Teun Koopmeiners set to leave for Juventus.

Manchester United are eyeing a move for Atalanta midfielder Ederson if they are unable to sign Paris Saint-Germain's Manuel Ugarte. Man Utd have tried to acquire Ugarte, but PSG have refused to budge from their £51m asking price. A stumbling block for United is Atalanta value Ederson at the same number PSG want for Ugarte.

Manchester United have reportedly held discussions over a possible £51m transfer for Atalanta midfielder Ederson as Erik ten Hag looks to strengthen his squad with one more signing before the summer transfer window closes.

Ederson from Atalanta has emerged as another alternative for Manchester United. Talks were held over a potential deal as far back as March. Ederson’s performance in the Europa League for Atalanta saw him catch the attention of several clubs late last season, including Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, and Liverpool.

The prospect of moving to Liverpool or Manchester United will be put to the back of Atalanta midfielder Ederson's mind for the first weeks of the transfer window.
