Ederson is expected to cost €50 million this summer, and Barcelona is apparently in competition with Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United for his services.

A report from the Spanish publication Fichajes claims that Barcelona is interested in Ederson. Premier League heavyweights Manchester United, Liverpool, and Arsenal are eager to capture the Atalanta midfield player. The Serie A team will demand €50 million to get rid of the Brazilian enforcer in the interim.

The Ascent of Ederson in Atlanta

Edson Since coming to Atalanta from Salernitana in July 2022, Jose dos Santos Lourenco da Silva, better known by his stage as Ederson, has developed into a formidable midfield player. The 24-year-old, particularly in the current season, has shown to be one of Serie A’s top midfield players.

The Brazilian attacker, a box-to-box midfielder, is versatile enough to play a variety of midfield positions, including holding midfielder. In the 2023–24 season, he has made 36 appearances for Atalanta, with six goals and one assist. High-profile teams like Manchester United, Arsenal, Barcelona, and Liverpool have taken notice of Ederson’s development in the interim.

A Wanted Man

As the summer transfer window approaches, Barcelona will look to add a midfield player to their roster. Since coming from Girona, Oriol Romeu has not exactly lit the stage on fire, and it seems likely that he will depart during the summer transfer window. Barcelona is now keeping an eye on several midfield players, and Ederson is also on their desire list.

However, Atalanta’s asking price may be a spoiler, as the Serie A team is requesting €50 million in exchange for the 24-year-old. Barcelona may find it difficult to raise the money necessary to sign Ederson due to their ongoing financial problems. However, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Arsenal shouldn’t have any issues with it.
