🚨🇧🇷 | JUST IN: Ederson to #MUFC is NOT imminent, done or close. [@FabrizioRomano, YT]

I hope this deal get done, it’s a capable player at a fairly OK price. Ederson got a great motor and can take a huge responsibility on the pitch. He is fairly strong physically and got much better decision making than a Joao Gomes. He is very good technically. He isn’t a player that makes a title challenging team, that you build around. But if everyone around him is injured and he is the last man standing he can carry a big load in the midfield. Again, he won’t be someone’s Rodri, of course, but if you won’t lose the midfield because you have Ederson and an opponent has Mac Allister or Zubamendi or Guimares. He is ~ at that level.

Sad to see him go” “This season he has been bad, but he was the best midfielder in serie A last season and 2 years ago. Defensive menace” “Good player, is great under pressure, physically strong but not the fastest. Also seems like he has a second lung. Will be the steal of the Summer” “I’m a Juventus fan and I play fantacalcio, I don’t know if that exists in England. Even though he plays for another team, he’s my favourite midfielder. He’s got four lungs, he’s technically skilled, and he makes great runs into the box. I’d do anything to have him at Juventus. I pick him in fantasy football every year.” “One of the best two way players. We need to sell him while his value is so high, and thankfully Man U seems to be keen on overpaying for players.”

Ederson is a natural box-box midfielder, not a defensive midfielder. Although he contributes defensively as other midfielders do, it's not part of his biggest strength as he has only completed 29 tackles in Serie A this season. His main strength is ball carrying. He loves driving with the ball and passing the ball effectively, even under pressure.

The currency conversions get confusing here, but I believe United would be looking to get closer to £30m on base fee for Ederson to do a deal, but we'll see where this goes. @SimonJones_DM has stated Atalanta looking for £34.5m + £4.3m - which about equals the number mentioned by @edu17burgos just different breakdowns...
