Arsenal and Man United enter transfer battle for Serie A powerhouse

Atalanta midfielder Ederson has been linked with a move away from the Italian club at the end of the season.

According to journalist Ben Jacobs , Arsenal and Manchester United are closely tracking his situation. They could look to make a move for him in the summer.

The 26-year-old has already agreed personal terms with Atletico Madrid, but the Spanish outfit is yet to secure an agreement with the Italian club. Naturally, the race for his signature is quite open. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal or Manchester United decide to make a move for him.

They need a complete central midfielder like him, and the Brazilian could be a very useful addition. He will add control, composure, creativity, and defensive cover in the middle of the park.

He has shown his quality in Italian football and in the European competitions. He has the technical attributes and physicality for English football as well. He’s at the peak of his career, and this is the right time for Ederson to take on a new challenge.

Arsenal and Manchester United are among the biggest clubs in the world, and they could provide him with the platform to compete in the UEFA Champions League next season and fight for major trophies. The player is likely to be tempted to join them.

Atalanta will not want to lose a key player like him easily, but they are under pressure to sell him. He has a contract with the Italian club until 2027. This is their final opportunity to recoup some money from his departure.

Arsenal and Manchester United have the financial resources to get the deal done, and it remains to be seen whether they come forward with an official proposal in the coming weeks.
