Ederson to United confirmed, Motta attracts Valencia interest

Ederson exit confirmed, United deal done

It's happening. Ederson is heading to Manchester United in a deal worth £35–50 million after Michael Carrick personally gave the green light (1). The Brazilian midfielder has been the engine of your midfield, and replacing him will be the first big test for new sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli.

United reportedly view Ederson as the first of up to five summer signings, with Carrick also pledging more game time for academy players next season. For Atalanta, the windfall is significant, but so is the hole it leaves.

Valencia eye the keeper who broke your Coppa dreams

Remember Edoardo Motta? The Lazio goalkeeper who saved four penalties to knock Atalanta out of the Coppa Italia semifinal is now attracting interest from Valencia (2). It's a painful memory resurfacing, Motta's heroics ended your cup run, and now he might be on the move himself.
