Brazilian midfielder Ederson was linked to the distance from the Italian club Atalanta during the summer transfer window.
The 25 -year -old was exceptional for the Italian outfit, and it is not surprising that several Premier League clubs are eager. According to journalist Jorge Nicola, Liverpool and Manchester United are interested in signing the player, but Manchester City has now stolen a walk on his competitors by opening talks to sign the player.
Man City in talks to sign the Brazilian
Manchester City hopes to sign the player for costs of around 70 million euros, and they discuss the proposal with Atalanta. It will be interesting to see if the Italian outfit is willing to accept the offer during its presentation.
The 25 -year -old is a quality player who would improve Manchester City in the midfield. On paper, it could be the ideal partner for Rodri. He will add physicality, technical capacity and intelligence to the side.
Italian legend Fabio Capello described it as (via Atalanta BC News): “He is out of this world for his ability to combine the race, physicity, technique and intelligence.”
Liverpool and Man United like Ederson
Likewise, Liverpool also needs more depth in the midfield. It will be interesting to see if they can sign the South American in the coming weeks. It will probably cost a substantial sum of money, and compete with Manchester City could be difficult.
Liverpool must improve several areas of their team, and they cannot afford to spend too much on the Brazilian.
Manchester United will also have to add more quality in the midfield. They had trouble dominating midfielder competitions, and they need quality players to succeed next season. The 25-year-old is a hard-working player who will add control, composure and defensive coverage on the side.
He has proven himself in Italy and also has the ability to do well in England. He remains to be seen where he finds himself.
