The transfer saga of Ederson to Manchester United has dragged on this summer, and there is a new update on the Brazilian ace’s future\"Ederson<\/p>\n

Atalanta are reportedly prepared to offer Ederson a new five-year contract if his deal to Manchester United<\/a> falls through. United have not yet given up on signing Ederson, having had a \u00a338million transfer fee accepted by Atalanta<\/a> and agreed personal terms with the Brazilian.<\/p>\n

However, it’s been reported a medical test detected a knee injury in the Brazilian<\/a>. Despite claims a move may now be off, the MEN understands Michael Carrick’s side have not given up hope of signing him<\/a> and have insisted a deal has not been cancelled.<\/p>\n

Ederson is undergoing fresh medical assessments in Manchester and if the results from those are positive, then the Brazil international will become a United player. Nevertheless, it also appears the Serie A side are preparing for a future with Ederson in the midfield.<\/p>\n

According to Fabrizio Romano, Atalanta are so confident Ederson is fit and won’t be troubled by the aforementioned knee injury, they are prepared to offer him a new five-year deal.<\/p>\n

The Reds agreed a \u00a338m deal with the club last month, but a medical could not be quickly carried out as he was representing Brazil at the World Cup. After his nation’s loss to Norway in the round of 16, many presumed a deal would soon be unveiled.<\/p>\n

However, the purported knee issue \u2013 claimed by Romano \u2013 has seemingly held the deal up. As they try to wrap this move up by carrying out fresh medical tests, they are also trying to get other deals over the line.<\/p>\n

A deal worth an initial \u00a348m for Chelsea<\/a> midfielder Andrey Santos is believed to be close to completion.<\/p>\n

So far, the transfer window has proven to be a difficult one compared to last season. An impressive summer spending spree last season saw United sign Bemjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Senne Lammens.<\/p>\n

In June, United chief football operations officer Omar Berrada insisted the Reds would follow a similar transfer blueprint this season to the one they used last summer. “I think the template for what we did last summer will be replicated,” Berrada said.<\/p>\n

“You always go into a window, and you don\u2019t know how you\u2019re going to come out of it, but you have to be really prepared. You have to have a clear plan, you have to know exactly what positions you\u2019re looking to strengthen, and you also have to be prepared for any eventuality.”<\/p>\n

United are still looking to fill the midfield voids departed by Casemiro’s exit and Manuel Ugarte’s knee injury at the World Cup. At present, Kobbie Mainoo is the only senior central midfielder at Carrick’s disposal.<\/p>\n

Carrick will need players in quickly with the club competing on four fronts this season after their third placed finish saw them qualify for the Champions League<\/a>.<\/p>\n
