Éderson Transfer from Atalanta to Atlético Madrid
Éderson of Atalanta Bergamo remains Atletico Madrid's preferred candidate for the midfield. It is reported that he has a price of approximately 50 million euros.
According to AS, Alemany will negotiate with Atalanta for Ederson this week. Ederson is the primary target of the Atletico Madrid sporting direction, but the price is a problem.
AS reports that Atlético de Madrid has been in negotiations for weeks with both Éderson and Atalanta. There is a mutual willingness for the transfer to be completed in the coming days under the right conditions, although the agreement is currently not close to being finalized. Éderson has informed Atalanta that he will not renew his contract, which is valid until June 2027, and his intention is to leave, either in the current transfer window or in the summer. Several Atlético de Madrid players have contacted Éderson to encourage the move, and he has given a strong affirmative response. Éderson wants to join Atlético de Madrid and is willing to do what is necessary for the move, as his dream is to play in Spain for the club. According to his agent André Cury, Atalanta's demands are much lower, making the transfer available at a very favorable price before the summer and the World Cup.
Atletico Madrid has started to show serious, though unofficial, interest in Ederson, according to reports in the Italian press. The club's interest in the Brazilian player stems from Diego Simeone's desire to establish a tougher and more energetic midfield structure. With Atletico Madrid's involvement, the likelihood of lowering the transfer fee of around 40 million Euros set by Atalanta is low, and the negotiation process is said to have become more complex.
According to Spanish media reports, Ederson has reached an agreement with Atletico Madrid and is waiting for the clubs to agree on a transfer. Atalanta is demanding 35 million Euro, while Atletico Madrid is aiming to complete the deal for a lower fee.
According to CalcioMercato, Atletico Madrid are interested in Ederson as they seek a replacement for Conor Gallagher. Following Gallagher's sale to Tottenham for 40 million euros, Ederson is on the club's list in their search for a central midfielder. Other foreign clubs are also targeting Ederson.
The profile of Ederson is still appreciated in Madrid, as Atlético de Madrid has followed him for several years. Atlético de Madrid did not want to pay the 80 million euros that Atalanta asked for at the time. According to his agent André Cury on Cadena SER, it is an opportunity. Cury stated that Atalanta did not want to sell Ederson despite very important offers, but he thinks the transfer will be finalized during the winter or summer transfer window. He added that the player has little time left on his contract, which ends in 2027, and his price could be reduced to between 30 and 40 million euros.
As reported by AS, Atalanta's demands for midfielder Ederson have been reduced to 40 million. The 26-year-old Brazilian is a non-EU player, but Gallagher's departure makes a spot available.
According to a journalist's claim, clubs including Atletico Madrid have also made enquiries about Ederson recently.
Tuttomercato reports on the mounting interest in Ederson from top European clubs. Ederson has attracted interest from clubs like Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Liverpool, and Manchester United. Atalanta had kept him last year with a promise of future transfer. He is valued at least 50-52 million euros plus bonuses. A renewal seems difficult, and his departure appears more imminent compared to Lookman.
According to AS, Atletico Madrid has inquired about Ederson's situation. Atalanta is requesting 75 million euros for the player, who has two years remaining on his contract.
Atlético de Madrid previously wanted Éderson and offered 55 million euros for his transfer. Atalanta rejected the offer because they could only afford one major sale that summer, which was Koopmeiners to Juventus. Atlético de Madrid remains interested and is considered a major rival to Real Madrid for Éderson's signing.
Atletico Madrid could enter the running for Ederson if they are unable to finalize a deal for Chelsea's Conor Gallagher.
Ederson has been linked to Atletico Madrid during this transfer window. Previously, in January, Newcastle showed interest and was ready to offer 40 million, but Atalanta was not interested in listening to the proposals.
Simeone dreams of signing Ederson for Atletico Madrid's midfield. However, Atalanta has no intention of selling him this transfer window unless they receive offers over 60 million.
Ederson, a key player at Atalanta, has been identified as a target for Atlético Madrid. His impressive performance in the Europa League final has increased his value and competition for his services is expected to be fierce. Despite his increased price, Atlético Madrid are still interested in his transfer.
