Newcastle United targets Ederson after Manchester United withdrawal

Summary

Newcastle United is pursuing Ederson after Manchester United abandoned plans to sign the Atalanta midfielder. Following a late call-up to Brazil's World Cup squad, Manchester United reconsidered the deal due to concerns over Ederson's fitness. Newcastle, needing midfield reinforcements after Sandro Tonali's £100 million exit to Tottenham Hotspur, views Ederson as a strategic option amid uncertainty regarding Bruno Guimaraes' future. Atalanta maintains that Ederson is fully fit and is open to offering him a new contract. Newcastle is expected to match the previous offer made by Manchester United to secure the player.
