The Brazilian midfielder has featured in over 50 matches for the Italian club in the 2023/24 campaign and has played a big part in their Europa League win. He was a standout performer for them in the final against Xabi Alonso’s unbeaten Bayer Leverkusen.
Liverpool want to sign Ederson
His performances have put him on the wishlist of multiple top clubs and Liverpool are one of the clubs interested in the midfielder’s services. The Reds underwent a major overhaul in midfield last summer which has done wonders for them. But they still feel the need to further reinforce their midfielder.

Representatives of the English club have been present in the stands to watch Atalanta in action. While the focus has been on Teun Koopmeiners, they have also kept a close eye on Ederson’s performances.
His work has impressed their scouts following which the Reds have decided to push hard for his signature in the summer. His arrival will add a lot of quality to their ranks and with Thiago Alcântara expected to be on the move, he could be an ideal replacement.
