Ederson has been linked with a summer move away from Atalanta, and Liverpool are being tipped as a potential destination.
According to Give Me Sport, Ederson would be open to joining Liverpool this summer, and it will be interesting to see if the Premier League side are ready to come forward with an offer for him.
The Brazilian international is valued at £45 million, and Liverpool certainly have the financial resources to get the deal done. They will need to replace Thiago Alcantara adequately, and the Brazilian seems like the ideal acquisition. He will help out defensively, add composure and control in the middle of the park.
The Atalanta midfielder has the technical attributes to succeed in English football, and he has already shown his quality in Serie A and in the UEFA Europa League last season. Ederson was a key player for the Italian club as they went on to win the Europa League, and he impressed with his performances against Liverpool over the two legs as well.
The midfielder is still only 24, and he will improve with coaching and experience. He could develop into a key player for the club in the coming seasons. Although the £45 million asking price might seem steep, Liverpool should look to sign a quality player like him who is capable of justifying the investment in the near future.
The midfielder has been linked with clubs like Tottenham Hotspur as well. However, Liverpool will be able to offer him UEFA Champions League football, and that should give them an edge over they are rivals. The fact that the player is open to joining them will be a huge boost as well. It remains to be seen whether the development encourages Liverpool to come forward with an official proposal for the player now.
Liverpool need a quality midfielder like Ederson
Liverpool need to improve their squad adequately if they want to compete with Arsenal and Manchester City next season. Signing a quality midfielder could prove to be a wise decision.
Liverpool are widely regarded as one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to play for them will be quite exciting for most players. They have a talented squad and an ambitious project. Ederson will certainly hope to win Premier League titles and Champions League trophies with them if the transfer goes through.
