Manchester United appear to have started their summer transfer their business early.
The club has reportedly reached a contract agreement with Atalanta’s Ederson, a deal worth approximately €45m.
The 26-year-old Brazilian is seen as the tactical successor to Casemiro, whose own contract expires this summer.
With a deal running until 2031, United are investing heavily in a player known for his engine and defensive discipline.
In a market where Nottingham Forest have slapped a £120m price tag on Elliott Anderson, the acquisition of Ederson is being viewed as a masterstroke of cost effective recruitment by Michael Carrick’s recruitment team.
