Maurizio Sarri says Ederson is part of Atalanta's future plans

Summary

Atalanta manager Maurizio Sarri confirmed that midfielder Ederson is key to the team's plans. Despite Manchester United's interest and an initial agreement, the transfer did not proceed due to fitness concerns during medicals after Ederson's involvement in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. United has since signed Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans but remain on the lookout for more midfield options. Sarri expressed that Ederson is eager to return early from vacation and contribute next season.
