Manchester United's Ederson transfer hit by World Cup call-up
Summary

Manchester United's pursuit of Atalanta midfielder Ederson has encountered a delay as he has been unexpectedly called up to the World Cup. The Brazilian was initially omitted from the squad but received a last-minute inclusion due to an injury to a teammate. In other transfer news, Tottenham Hotspur's attempts to acquire Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton have been unsuccessful, with two bids rejected. Tottenham remains interested in van Hecke, who has one year left on his contract. Spurs are also targeting Bournemouth's Marcos Senesi, with reports indicating that a deal for him is finalized. Meanwhile, Inter Milan has made an offer for Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, but it is significantly below Liverpool's expectations.
