Ederson to Man Utd is OFF

Man Utd wrapping up a deal for Tielemans comes after the club’s co-owners, INEOS, decided against proceeding with a move for Ederson Silva.

Ederson underwent the second part of his medical at Man Utd after Brazil got knocked out of the 2026 World Cup.

However, due to certain complications, Man Utd have decided that they will not sign the midfielder from Atalanta in the summer transfer window.

Romano noted on X at 11am on July 13: “CONFIRMED: Manchester United send formal confirmation to Atalanta about Ederson deal OFF, as exclusively revealed on Friday.

“Brazilian midfielder won’t join #MUFC and Atalanta offered him new deal until June 2031 — to be negotiated. Éderson, disappointed and back to Italy.”
