Brazil midfielder Ederson has signed a contract extension with Atalanta following the collapse of his proposed move to Manchester United.
According to reports, Manchester United had agreed a £35 million fee for the 27-year-old on June 2, with plans in place for a medical in early July. However, the move was delayed after Ederson received a late call-up to Brazil’s World Cup squad due to an injury to Wesley, disrupting the transfer timeline.
After Brazil’s last-16 exit to Norway, Ederson travelled to England to complete further medical tests, having initially raised concerns during preliminary checks in the United States.
Medical specialist evaluations ultimately led to United withdrawing from the deal, with sources dismissing any chances of a revival later in the transfer window.
With the transfer now definitively off, Ederson has committed his future to Atalanta by signing a new deal that will keep him at the Serie A club until 2031.
