Serie A league leaders Atalanta could soon be about to lose midfielder Ederson, as the interest from Manchester United is now rising.

The Red Devils have previously been linked with a move for the Brazilian and Marco Conterio has reported about the situation of the midfielder.

The report claims that while several major clubs are keeping tabs on the 25-year-old, it is United who are increasing their attention on Ederson. The club’s higher-ups have now given their total approval for a move, with the player seen as a replacement for Casemiro.

Having said that, a move in January is all but impossible because Atalanta do not want to lose a key player in the middle of a potential title charge. They would only consider a summer sale and discussions can only start at about 60 million. There has previously been a feeling that the relationship between the two clubs is very good and that can benefit the Red Devils.
