Manchester United's Ederson Transfer Decision Lingers Amid Medical Uncertainty

July 11, 2026Diego Herrera1 мин

In an unexpected turn of events, Manchester United has reportedly not yet finalized their decision regarding the purchase of Ederson from Atalanta, following initial medical examinations.

The transfer, initially agreed upon for €40.5 million plus €4.5 million in add-ons, encountered a snag. The player was in the United States with the Brazilian national team for the 2026 World Cup, limiting him to preliminary medical tests there. The Premier League club then requested further assessments to investigate a particular issue. After a 48-hour period for these scans, several sources initially indicated that Manchester United had pulled out of the deal.

Reports from Sky Sport Italia, Fabrizio Romano, and Sportitalia suggested that Manchester United had informed Atalanta of their decision not to proceed with the transfer. However, more recent information from BBC Sport, Sky Sports Deutschland, and other outlets now indicates that a definitive decision has not been made.

Italian media had previously been confident that Ederson had no serious injury concerns, leading to speculation that Manchester United might have simply reconsidered their position over the past five weeks. It remains a possibility that Manchester United intends to renegotiate the terms of the agreement, though Atalanta may not be amenable to such a move.
