Atalanta midfielder Ederson is reportedly ready to move to the Premier League amid his links with Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Liverpool.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Ederson is ready to join a Premier League club next year. Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Liverpool are interested in signing the Brazilian midfielder from Atalanta, with the development boosting the prospects of the three English top-flight bigwigs. The Serie A outfit valued the player at around £50 million in the summer transfer window.
The rise and rise of Ederson
Ederson has been one of the best players in Serie A since joining Atalanta from Salernitana in July 2022. The South American midfielder has come leaps and bounds in the last two years, playing his part in La Dea’s success, including the UEFA Europa League-winning campaign in the 2023/24 season.
The 25-year-old has turned out nearly 100 times thus far for Atalanta while chipping in with eight goals and three assists. Ederson’s exploits for the Serie A outfit have helped him break into his national team, making his bow for Brazil earlier this year in June. Meanwhile, the player’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs, especially in the Premier League, including Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Liverpool.
A man in demand
Arsenal recently scouted the Brazilian international, with the North London club’s interest making sense. The Gunners are considering parting ways with Thomas Partey when his contract with the Premier League club runs out. So, the Atalanta midfielder has emerged as a viable target for Arsenal.
Meanwhile, Liverpool mulled over signing Ederson from Atalanta in the summer transfer window, with the Serie A outfit demanding £50 million to part ways with him. The Reds did not sign a holding midfielder this past summer and want to reinforce the position next year. So, the Atalanta midfielder is an option worth considering for Liverpool.
As for Aston Villa, they might delve into the market for a holding midfielder, even though Boubacar Kamara is closing in on returning to action. So, the Brazilian international is a viable target for the West Midlands club. The latest update has boosted the three Premier League clubs’ prospects, with the player ready to move to England.
It is unclear if Atalanta will continue demanding £50 million to part ways with the 25-year-old or set a higher price. It will be interesting to see if Arsenal, Aston Villa, or Liverpool can land him in the coming months, with a summer move likely.
