Manchester United<\/a> are \u2018pushing\u2019 to complete the transfer<\/a> of Atalanta midfielder Ederson in the summer, according to Nicolo Schira<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Strengthening the midfield is expected to become a major priority for United after a significant portion of last summer\u2019s spending was directed toward improving the attack.<\/p>\n The need for reinforcements has become even more pressing following Casemiro<\/a>\u2019s confirmed decision to leave at the end of the season, alongside Manuel Ugarte\u2019s inconsistent displays throughout the campaign.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Kobbie Mainoo \u2013 who had previously fallen out of the lineup under Ruben Amorim \u2013 has pegged his way back into the first team under Michael Carrick and produced another commanding midfield performance alongside Casemiro during Sunday\u2019s 3-2 victory over Liverpool<\/a>.<\/p>\n With Casemiro leaving, United have begun assessing potential successors for their experienced holding-midfield role.<\/p>\n It appears the club are prioritising a move for Atalanta\u2019s Ederson, as Football Talk<\/a>, citing major sources, revealed in recent weeks that the Red Devils are preparing to submit a formal \u00a338m offer<\/a> to sign the Brazilian.<\/p>\n Amid reported interest from Atletico Madrid, United are now accelerating efforts to complete the transfer, with Schira<\/em> reporting that the 20-time English champions have been \u2018pushing\u2019 to complete Ederson\u2019s transfer to Old Trafford in recent days.<\/p>\n The Red Devils have prepared a contract until 2031 for the 26-year-old and are also set to submit a \u00a338m bid to Atalanta to thrash out the deal, Schira<\/em> adds.<\/p>\n![\"Rememore](\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FootballTalk_New_Chapter-rememore.png\")
