Ederson Completes €45m Move to Manchester United as Carrick First Signing

Atalanta midfielder Ederson has completed his transfer to Manchester United in a deal worth around €45 million plus add-ons.

The agreement between the two clubs was finalized after several weeks of negotiations, with the deal now completed. What remains are the final steps, including medical examinations and registration procedures before an official announcement is made.

Carrick’s First Signing

It is reported that Ederson will become the first signing of new Manchester United coach Michael Carrick in this summer transfer window, as part of the club’s plan to rebuild the squad for the upcoming season.

Carrick is said to be focused on strengthening the midfield by adding power, stability, and creativity, and Ederson is seen as an ideal fit due to his ability to defend, support attacks, and control the tempo of matches.

Sources close to the deal say that talks between Manchester United and Atalanta had reached the final stages for some time, and everything has now been fully agreed by both parties. A four-year contract has been agreed between the player and his new club.
