Fabrizio Romano Reveals Manchester United Ready to Seal £21.5m Deal for Ederson After Player Gives Green Light.

 

Manchester United appear to be nearing the signing of another midfielder, as Fabrizio Romano reveals the club is set to complete a £21.5m agreement for Atalanta’s Ederson. The 24-year-old Brazilian has already approved the switch to Old Trafford, allowing discussions between the clubs to move toward a final resolution.

 

Having steadily made a name for himself in Serie A, Ederson has been a consistent presence in Atalanta’s midfield. Valued for his high energy, defensive reliability, and skill in moving the ball forward, he has played a significant role in Gian Piero Gasperini’s push for European qualification. United scouts have kept a close eye on him for some time, and Ruben Amorim reportedly believes the Brazilian could bring essential balance and squad depth.

 

Still, the development has divided Manchester United fans. Despite recognizing Ederson’s strengths, many are questioning whether this is the kind of player the club should be prioritizing. With attacking concerns and no clear substitute for Rasmus Højlund, frustration is growing over the direction of the club’s recruitment efforts. Social media has seen a wave of fans urging the club to sign an established goal scorer before the transfer deadline approaches.

 

In the current market, the £21.5m price tag looks like reasonable business, particularly for someone with Champions League exposure and room to improve under Amorim’s guidance. Yet, doubts persist over whether this deal reflects a well-thought-out plan or simply a short-term solution in a window where the club still seems to be plugging holes reactively.

 

At present, Romano’s familiar “here we go” appears imminent, with United likely to finalize talks with Atalanta shortly. Still, the pressing issue remains: is securing another midfielder the right move, when what’s arguably missing most is a reliable striker to lead their charge back to the top?
