Reports: Liverpool offer €45 million to sign Ederson
Premier League giants Liverpool have made a significant move in the summer transfer market, submitting a €45 million proposal to sign Brazilian midfielder Ederson from Serie A club Atalanta. According to reports by Jorge Nicola, the Reds are keen to secure the services of the 24-year-old midfielder, who has impressed in Italy and broken into the Brazilian national team.
Ederson’s rapid rise at Atalanta has caught the attention of top Premier League clubs, with Liverpool emerging as a frontrunner to sign him. The midfielder’s versatility and impressive performances have made him an attractive replacement for Thiago Alcantara, who will depart Anfield as a free agent on July 1.
Since joining Atalanta from Salernitana in July 2022, Ederson has amassed over 4,000 minutes of game time across 53 appearances, scoring seven goals and providing one assist. His exploits have earned him a call-up to the Brazilian national team for the 2024 Copa America.
While Liverpool’s €45 million bid is a significant offer, it remains unclear whether it will be enough to secure Ederson’s signature amidst intense competition from other Premier League heavyweights. The Merseyside club may need to act swiftly to finalize the deal before the 2024 Copa America begins, to avoid a potential rise in Ederson’s valuation
