Newcastle United is actively seeking to bolster their midfield, expressing a strong interest in Atalanta’s midfielder, Ederson. The 24-year-old Brazilian, who has delivered commendable performances for the Italian club this season, has caught the eye of the Premier League side.
As reported by PL Brasil, Newcastle is consistently engaging in negotiations to secure Ederson’s signature this month. The club, facing a midfield shortage, views the Brazilian as a valuable addition, given his impressive contribution of five goals and an assist in various competitions this season. Ederson’s versatility allows him to play both as a central and defensive midfielder.
With summer signing Sandro Tonali suspended due to a betting scandal and midfielder Joelinton sidelined for six weeks with an injury, Newcastle sees Ederson as a potential high-quality partner for Bruno Guimaraes in the heart of their midfield. However, the deal may hinge on Atalanta’s valuation, with the Italian club potentially seeking a fee in the range of €50-60 million for the talented midfielder. The success of the transfer remains uncertain at this point.
Since their purchase, they have become one of the world’s wealthiest teams, and they undoubtedly have the financial resources to sign the player at the rumored asking price. However, they will be need to comply with financial fair play requirements, which may make a move this month problematic.
The Brazilian midfielder is expected to be drawn to the prospect of playing for Newcastle in the Premier League, and he will hope that the two teams can reach an agreement soon.
