Manchester City have reportedly contacted Ederson’s representatives, but Atalanta’s asking price could make any transfer difficult in January.
According to TEAMtalk, Manchester City are in pursuit of Atalanta midfielder Ederson ahead of the January transfer window. The Premier League giants have made contact with the Brazilian’s representatives. However, the demands of the Serie A side could make any transaction difficult for Pep Guardiola’s side in the winter market.
Manchester City seem determined to bring in a new midfielder on priority ahead of the January transfer window as they continue to suffer in the absence of Rodri. The Spanish superstar and Ballon d’Or winner sustained a season-ending injury in September in the clash with Arsenal, and Pep Guardiola wants to bring in a replacement.
A lot of names have been discussed in reports, with La Liga pair Martin Zubimendi and Pablo Barrios among those present on the list of targets. There are others like Adam Wharton and Nicolo Barella, but neither of those are likely to be made available midway through the season.
Manchester City have also held strong interest in Atalanta midfielder Ederson, with the Brazilian also being chased by a host of top clubs. The midfielder has been reportedly flattered by the interest from the Premier League champions, as he would lean towards a switch to the Etihad.
Atalanta will be open to a sale provided their demands are met, as the Serie A giants want €50 million for the Brazilian. The Bergamo side are not willing to negotiate on the price given how important the midfielder is for Gian Piero Gasperini, as losing him in January will be a big blow for the veteran manager ahead of achieving their objectives for this campaign.
Atalanta’s price a problem for Manchester City
Atalanta have also found themselves in a great position to mount a title challenge, and with Manchester City now contacting the representatives for Ederson, they will potentially make the best of this situation. The €50 million-rated Brazilian international will be made available in the market.
However, La Dea will not lower their asking price, as Gasperini would be very happy to keep hold of Ederson for the remainder of the season. Hence, for Manchester City to get the €50 million-rated Brazilian international, they must pay what is necessary. A late U-turn from Atalanta is not out of the question, as they could declare that the player is not for sale depending on where they are in the Serie A standings by the end of December.
