Ederson to Manchester United: the deal is done
Your midfield engine is leaving. Reports confirm Atalanta and Manchester United have reached an agreement for Ederson, with the fee landing at €40.5 million (1). The Brazilian is set to join Michael Carrick's side, who are also chasing West Ham's Matheus Fernandes and another midfielder as they reshape their squad (2) (3). Fabrizio Romano says United's business won't stop here, this is just the first move of a busy summer at Old Trafford (5). For Atalanta, that engine room needs replacing, and fast.
Palestra price tag: €50 million
Inter, Roma, Newcastle, and Manchester City are all circling young full-back Marco Palestra, but Atalanta have drawn a hard line, at least €50 million to get him out of Bergamo (4) (6) (7). Inter are pushing hardest, seeing Palestra as the natural successor to Denzel Dumfries, who looks set for a move to Real Madrid (7) (8). With Ederson already heading out and Palestra now a concrete target for multiple clubs, Giuntoli's first transfer window is shaping up to be a defining one.
