Atalanta midfielder Ederson eyes Premier League dream switch amid Manchester Uniteds firming pursuit

Casemiro appeared to be at the end of his career last season, yet the Brazilian has demonstrated his elite skills, especially during Michael Carricks tenure, contributing to 11 goals in the Premier League.

Serving as a protective barrier ahead of the Manchester United backline while also influencing proceedings in the attacking areas, the 34 year old has proven indispensable.

With his exit from the club already announced for the seasons conclusion, the Red Devils need to secure a successor, and various options are under consideration.

Links have emerged with Premier League talents such as Elliot Anderson, Adam Wharton, Carlos Baleba and Sandro Tonali, alongside interest in scouting Atalantas Ederson from overseas.

Per Sky Sports journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Manchester United are keeping a keen eye on his developments, although the most tangible bids currently originate from Serie A clubs.

Positively for United, Edersons ideal destination is the Premier League, and discussions have occurred in the past few weeks involving his agents and the club.

The player, featuring in 40 matches across all tournaments this season, has a deal that runs until June 2027, opening the door to a potentially affordable arrangement for United.
