I will like to play at Old Trafford – Man United and Newcastle United still keen and interested in signing 25-year-old Brazilian midfielder who favors Old Trafford move

Manchester United and Newcastle United continue to chase Atalanta’s Brazilian midfielder Ederson.

One of Atalanta’s greatest players during their Europa League victory the previous season, the midfielder assisted in helping the team qualify for the Champions League.

The Serie A midfielder is reportedly “still in the sights” of Man United and Newcastle, according to TNT Sports in Brazil.

For a considerable amount of time, the Brazilian midfielder has been connected to Premier League teams.

During the summer transfer window, Man United and Newcastle both expressed interest in signing the player, however neither team was able to complete a deal.

While Newcastle United concentrated on adding defensive players to the roster, the Red Devils signed Manuel Ugarte from PSG.

Interest increased in the services of the player towards the latter stages of the summer transfer window but the Europa League winners failed to indulge in talks with any club as it was too late for them to sign his replacement by that time.

The player has shown interest in moving to the Premier League in the past and that could give the clubs in England edge over other clubs targeting the Atalanta midfielder.

Barcelona and Juventus are the other two clubs who have been credited with interest in the 25-year-old midfielder.

Man United & Newcastle would have to big money to sign Ederson
Atalanta have done some amazing business and generated profit from the sales of players in the past.

Rasmus Hojlund, Jeremie Boga, Merih Demiral, Joakim Maehle and Matteo Pessina have been the prominent players to leave the Italian giants, helping the club financially in the process.

Gian Piero Gasperini has built a competitive squad with a thin budget at the Serie A club and a number of his players have attracted interest from some of the biggest clubs in the world.

It remains to be seen who wins the race to sign the Brazilian midfielder but whoever wishes to sign him will have to pay a hefty transfer fee to the Italian club.
