Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed via his official X handle that Manchester United have renewed their interest in Éderson, with fresh contacts expected soon as the club continues evaluating midfield options ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Atalanta BC midfielder has emerged as one of several names under consideration as Manchester United look to strengthen and reshape their midfield department.
Romano revealed:
New contacts will take place in the next days for Éderson’s future with Manchester United interested. He’s one of the names on the shortlist for midfield, not the only one + more options being considered. Éderson would be open to joining #MUFC as Atalanta ask around €45m.
Earlier reports from Softfootball indicated that Atlético Madrid were progressing strongly in negotiations for Éderson after reportedly reaching a verbal agreement on personal terms with the Brazilian midfielder. Atlético identified him as one of their leading targets for the upcoming window.
While Manchester United had previously shown interest, reports suggested the Premier League side had not matched Atlético Madrid’s level of progress in negotiations at that stage.
However, the latest update now indicates that United are once again actively monitoring the situation as they assess different profiles for their evolving squad project.
Éderson is reportedly open to a move to Old Trafford, although Atalanta are expected to demand around €45 million for the midfielder. Despite the growing interest, he is currently viewed as one of multiple options rather than the club’s outright priority target.
The Brazilian has attracted attention across Europe due to his energetic box-to-box style, defensive work rate, physicality, and ability to progress play from midfield.
Manchester United’s renewed interest reflects the club’s broader plans to rebuild midfield depth amid expected squad changes and possible departures this summer. The club are believed to be targeting players capable of bringing intensity, balance, and tactical flexibility to the team moving forward.
Supporters have already begun debating whether Éderson’s profile fits the long-term direction of the squad as transfer activity intensifies ahead of the new season.
