Manchester United are looking to sign a quality midfielder and are hoping to sign Atalanta star Ederson Dos Santos.
The Brazilian has been excellent for the Italian club and he has also been linked with a move to the Premier League in the past. The Italian team could sell him for less than €40 million, and he could prove to be a bargain at that price. Manchester United have verified a potential transfer of the player through intermediaries, according to TEAMtalk.
It will be interesting to see if Manchester United decide to make a move in their favor in the coming days.
Man United could use Ederson Dos Santos
Manchester United are looking to sign a quality midfielder this month. The Brazilian will certainly add control, composure and defensive cover to his team. He could help them improve immensely.
The opportunity to move to the Premier League will also be exciting for the South American. He showed his qualities in Italy and will now look for a bigger challenge. Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world and it will be difficult to turn down the opportunity to play for them.
The reported asking price is reasonable for a player of his quality, and he could easily justify the investment.
Ederson move will be difficult in January
However, signing the player mid-season won’t be easy. The Italian team are reluctant to lose him before the summer transfer window, and it would be very surprising if they decide to sell him this month. Furthermore, the player wants to join a Champions League football club next season. Manchester United may not be able to guarantee it at the moment. It remains to be seen whether they will be able to convince the club and the player regarding a transfer in January.
