Report: Ederson chase heats up with Liverpool eying the midfield star

The 25-year-old Brazilian has been a revelation in Serie A since joining Atalanta in 2022, racking up 131 appearances, 12 goals, and four assists.

His commanding displays were pivotal in Atalanta's Europa League triumph last season, cementing his reputation as one of the league's top talents.

This term, Ederson has continued to impress, notching four goals and two assists in 41 outings. Despite Atalanta sitting third in Serie A and eyeing another Champions League spot, TuttoAtalanta has reported that the Italian outfit are open to cashing in this summer.

Liverpool are poised to lead the charge, with a potential offer reaching 60 million euros (51 million pounds, 66.4 million dollars), per the same source.

Arne Slot's Reds, who hold a commanding 12-point lead atop the Premier League, already boast a dynamic midfield with Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, and Dominik Szoboszlai firing on all cylinders. Yet, the club appear hungry for more, targeting Ederson to bolster their engine room.

Manchester United, alongside Atletico Madrid and Juventus, are also prepared to table hefty bids, drawn by the Brazilian's blend of power and finesse.

Former England boss Fabio Capello praised him in La Gazzetta dello Sport in December 2024, calling him "out of this world for his ability to combine running, physicality, technique, and intelligence."

Ederson, tied to Atalanta until 2027, has made no secret of his ambitions. Media reports have quoted him expressing a desire to test himself in the Premier League, a competition he "loves and would like to play in soon," though he's yet to name a preferred club.

Italian football expert Rudy Galetti revealed in February 2025 that Liverpool had sought details on the midfielder, while Manchester City have also been linked recently.

Atalanta, meanwhile, are already planning for life after Ederson. TuttoAtalanta has claimed they have their sights on Empoli's Tino Anjorin, a 23-year-old Englishman who rose through Chelsea's ranks before settling in Italy last summer.

The latest buzz from X, courtesy of Atalanta's official account on April 3, hailed Ederson's "relentless energy" in a recent win, while fans speculated about his next move.

As the summer window looms, the battle for Ederson's signature promises to be a blockbuster showdown between England's elite.
