Atalanta approach crunch time for Ederson future

Ederson is becoming more and more of a fundamental reference point for Atalanta.

However, his contractual situation, expiry set for June 30, 2027, does not allow for endless reflection. And there is a detail that weighs even more: his agent, André Cury (the same representative following Yuri Alberto, a target for Roma), no longer intends to discuss any renewal.

Another clear signal that the focus, now, is on finding a meeting point regarding the transfer fee.

Atalanta stood firm over Ederson in the past

Atalanta have already rejected important offers for Ederson. Manchester United turned up in Zingonia in the summer of 2024, but there was no room for negotiation.

Back then the numbers being discussed were closer to €60 million than €50m.

Over the past few months several clubs have come forward again, Juventus and Atlético Madrid included, confirming how much appeal the Brazilian has built.

But now the ball is firmly in Atalanta’s court. Because from January to June, without a renewal, the valuation of the player would inevitably change. And that, in negotiations of this level, always makes a difference.
