The Red Devils are planning a major overhaul of their midfield department this summer. Casemiro<\/a> will be leaving on a free transfer<\/a> next month, while Manuel Ugarte could be shown the exit door as well amid his sub-par performances.<\/p>\n Man United are in advanced negotiations with Atalanta for Ederson, and Tuttomercato<\/em>web <\/em>claim that a deal worth \u00a343 million will be completed for the 26-year-old Brazilian midfielder within the next few days.<\/p>\n Once that is done, United will plan to further pursue a deal for Newcastle United star Sandro Tonali. The Italian source claim that it will take at least \u00a387 million to prise the talented midfielder away from the Magpies.<\/p>\n Ederson has been a long-term target for the Manchester giants. They first explored a deal in the summer of 2024 when Atalanta considered him as an indispensable figure. The situation has changed over the last few years. With Ederson\u2019s contract expiring next year, the Bergamo outfit have given the green light for his potential transfer to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n The 26-year-old has been a fabulous performer for the Serie A giants over the years, but may need some adaptation time, given the Premier League<\/a> is more intense and less tactical than the Italian top-flight. This could mean United could pursue another marquee defensive midfielder and may prefer someone with vast Premier League experience.<\/p>\n Tonali has been identified as a top target by the Red Devils. He would fit into manager Michael Carrick\u2019s plans perfectly. The Italian may not have exceptional passing statistics, but he is someone who works hard off the ball and likes to make ball recoveries. He possesses a terrific work rate and has the ability to create goalscoring chances for his teammates.<\/p>\n
According to Italian outlet Tuttomercatoweb<\/span><\/a>, Manchester United<\/a> are poised to make an offer for Newcastle United<\/a> midfielder Sandro Tonali once Ederson makes the switch from Atalanta.<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"Rememore](\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FootballTalk_New_Chapter-rememore.png\")
