Man United ready to improve €50m + €5m offer for Top Arsenal transfer target -Report

Manchester United have reportedly already had a bid rejected for Atalanta midfielder Ederson, with an offer in the region of €50m plus €5m in add-ons being rejected by the Serie A giants in the summer

The Brazilian has performed brilliantly while he has been in Italy, contributing to Gian Piero Gasperini’s team’s victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final last year.

Ederson’s transfer to a top European team must only be a matter of time, and it appears that Manchester United has made an attempt to get him to Old Trafford, per the print edition of the Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport, which Sport Witness has translated and cited.

Ederson might be the perfect fit for United in a position that has been problematic for the team recently due to the lackluster performances of a number of recent additions, including Casemiro, Sofyan Amrabat, and Manuel Ugarte.

Ederson transfer: Could Man United face Arsenal competition?
If United do go back in for Ederson, however, they will surely face competition for the talented 25-year-old, as Arsenal could also be one to watch in the race for his signature.

TBR Football have recently linked Ederson with Arsenal and a host of other Premier League clubs, while Charles Watts spoke exclusively to CaughtOffside to discuss the probability of the Gunners making a move.

Arsenal could do with thinking about bringing in a younger midfielder to replace the ageing Jorginho and Thomas Partey, who are both out of contract at the end of the season, and Watts suggested Arsenal may have discussed Ederson as an option.

Ederson would surely choose Arsenal over United right now, given the respective state of each club in the last few years, with Mikel Arteta’s side clearly on the up while MUFC struggle to get back to where they want to be.

It will certainly be interesting to keep an eye on Ederson’s situation in the weeks and months ahead as Atalanta have often had to cash in on star names in the past, so may do so again here
