Ederson extends Atalanta contract after Manchester United move collapses

Brazil midfielder Ederson has signed a new contract with Atalanta after a proposed £35m transfer to Manchester United fell through, the clubs confirmed following medical assessments and specialist review.

The agreement for the 27-year-old had been reached on 2 June and a medical was planned for early July, but Ederson received a late call-up to Brazil’s World Cup squad after Wesley withdrew injured. Initial tests in the United States highlighted an area of concern, prompting a full medical in England after Brazil’s World Cup last-16 exit to Norway.

Specialists reviewed the findings and the outcome led Manchester United to withdraw from the transfer. Atalanta announced Ederson’s contract extension but did not disclose the length of the new deal. United have since signed Youri Tielemans, Andrey Santos and goalkeeper Karl Darlow.
