Atalanta could accept a big money offer coming in from Manchester City for their midfield star Ederson ahead of the January window.
According to Football Insider, Atalanta could be forced to cash in on dynamic midfielder Ederson if a club like Manchester City come in with a big offer. The Brazilian has been on Pep Guardiola’s radar ahead of the January window as he continues to find a suitable midfield replacement for the injured Rodri.
Manchester City will seriously consider bringing in a replacement for Rodri ahead of the January window. The Spanish midfielder has been a critical part of their system, and losing him does show the team’s deficiencies defensively and lack of organisation.
Manchester City might not have considered bringing in a replacement before, but their four consecutive losses in all competitions may have woken them up. Signing a top midfield name in January is already a difficult prospect, which could force Pep Guardiola to consider multiple options before closing in on one particular name.
According to a recent report, Man City was prepared to make an offer for Federico Valverde, although Real Madrid will not sell midway through the season. Similarly, there are difficult names like Tijjani Reijnders, Martin Zubimendi, and Aurelien Tchouameni, none of whom are looking closer to leaving their current clubs ahead of January.
The one name they might find success with is Atalanta’s Ederson. The Brazilian has been a vital part of the Bergamo side this season as they continue to march a title push with Napoli and others. Hence, losing him would be a massive blow to their chances, although the midfielder has significant interest from top clubs.
Atalanta will accept a big Man City bid for Ederson
Atalanta would be open to accepting a big offer for Ederson despite the 25-year-old Brazilian international’s importance to the team. The Bergamo side were demanding over £50 million for the Brazilian before, and they might not have changed their stance.
Manchester City have been working in the background to collect information about the Brazilian, and he remains a big target. Hence, should they make a sizeable offer that would please Atalanta chiefs, a deal could be struck, as the 25-year-old Brazilian international could be in line for a big career switch in January.
