Ederson to United almost done
Manchester United are closing in on Ederson in a deal worth £38m. Reports indicate the Brazilian midfielder is viewed as the long-term replacement for Casemiro, with United preparing for their Champions League return next season. Manager Raffaele Palladino has effectively acknowledged the move is happening. For Atalanta fans, this means losing one of your most important players, and the rebuild starts now.
Sarri talks in final stages
Atalanta are close to appointing Maurizio Sarri as the new head coach, with negotiations in the final stages. The tactical shift would be significant, Sarri's possession-heavy system is a world away from the intensity fans are used to. Palladino, meanwhile, is reportedly set to leave the club after just one season.
Season ends with a whimper
Atalanta wrapped up the Serie A campaign with a 1–1 draw against Fiorentina, a match with nothing at stake. Goals came from Piccoli and a Comuzzo own goal, with Charles De Ketelaere appearing off the bench. Your team finishes 7th on 59 points, European football secured, but well short of where this group hoped to land.
De Roon pushing for World Cup spot
Marten de Roon is considered a strong candidate for the Netherlands' World Cup squad. The midfielder's consistency in Bergamo hasn't gone unnoticed, and a call-up would be a bright spot in an otherwise turbulent summer for the club.
Fan reactions
The Ederson news is dominating the conversation, and the mood is a mix of resignation and frustration. United fans are celebrating the deal on their subreddit, while Atalanta supporters are bracing for another key departure. The £38m fee has raised eyebrows, many feel it's below market value for a Brazil international in his prime. Join the discussion on r/reddevils
