Atlético Madrid Resumes Negotiations with Atalanta to Sign Ederson

The Spanish club Atletico Madrid is once again seeking to finalize a deal to sign Brazilian midfielder Ederson from the Italian club Atalanta during the upcoming transfer window, as revealed by sports journalist Matteo Moretto.

This comes after the Madrid club expressed a clear interest in strengthening the midfield for the upcoming season in anticipation of some players leaving or to compensate for a shortage in this position.

Ederson (26 years old) has proven himself as a high-quality player in the midfield and is among the options for several major clubs in Europe. His name has been linked to the transfer market for some time, especially with his contract with Atalanta set to expire in 2027, which could potentially lower his asking price.

So far, previous reports have indicated that Atletico and its European rivals have not succeeded in signing the player in the current winter transfer window, while the Italian club has shown a desire to retain his services or, alternatively, has demanded large sums of money for any sale deal.

If the talks resume next March, it will be in preparation for the summer market, where Atletico is expected to finalize its decision regarding Ederson and focus on completing the deal before the start of the new season.
