Manchester United finalizes Ederson transfer from Atalanta after Brazil exit

Summary

Manchester United is poised to complete the signing of Ederson from Atalanta following Brazil's elimination from the 2026 World Cup. Brazil fell to Norway, 2-1, in the last 16 on Sunday, with Ederson appearing as a late substitute. The transfer, agreed upon earlier this summer for around £35 million, was delayed due to his inclusion in the national squad. With Brazil's tournament run concluded, Ederson is set to undergo a medical examination before finalizing the deal. He will be the first signing for new permanent head coach Michael Carrick, strengthening a midfield impacted by Casemiro's expected exit to Inter Miami.
