SOCCER After Manchester United’s withdrawal, Atalanta now has to manage the Ederson case and the management’s goal is to renew the Brazilian’s contract, expiring in 2027. The player might accept the proposal.

Reading 1 min.Ederson, now everything changes: from a virtual capital gain to a mandatory reinforcement, in a few days the scenario has flipped and Atalanta found itself reorganizing ideas and plans. The big news now is: the Brazilian can at this point stay in Bergamo and extend the contract. The failure of the midfielder’s transfer to United is a hard blow, not so much for the missed sale, but for the timing, which kept the Nerazzurri club frozen for more than a month.
Atalanta, Ederson’s transfer to Manchester United has fallen through
Atalanta’s last month was burdened by that doubt: how to do the market without knowing if you have those 45 million in the bank? Plans and goals change: first of all, with Ederson in the squad, one less midfielder is needed. But with Ederson gone, the other big players were almost locked in, while now every possibility opens up, also concerning De Ketelaere, Carnesecchi, Scalvini or Ahanor.
The dialogue reopens
Who now buys, at those figures, a player who failed the medical exams? Because Atalanta must sell Ederson, whose contract expires in 2027: not doing it now would mean losing him for free in a year (or for little in the winter market). This was the previous scenario, when there were no grounds for a renewal. But the twist changes every balance and decisively opens another possibility: now Atalanta’s plan is to keep Ederson in the squad and simultaneously extend his contract. The dialogue with the player’s entourage reopens: nothing is certain, but now the situation has changed for everyone and at least a short bridge renewal, maybe for one year, becomes a very concrete option.
