Roma targets Ederson to replace potential Koné departure
Summary

Roma is assessing the potential sale of Manu Koné amid discussions of a possible agreement with Manchester United. Should Koné leave, the club considers Ederson from Atalanta as a replacement. Ederson has a prior connection with Roma's coach and is likely to be pursued after Koné's sale. However, negotiations could be complicated due to past tensions between Roma and Atalanta, who previously sold Ederson to Manchester United. Atalanta is also looking to renew Ederson's contract as they value his contributions.
