Manchester United completes €45m signing of Brazilian midfielder Ederson

Manchester United have finalized the transfer of 26‑year‑old Brazilian midfielder Ederson from Atalanta for a reported €45 million package – €40 million up‑front and €5 million in add‑ons. Fabrizio Romano confirmed that all documents are signed and the deal is 100 % done, with the player expected to join Old Trafford later this summer.

Ederson signed a contract that reportedly pays about £80,000 per week. The signing is presented as Manchester United's first major summer acquisition, aimed at reinforcing the midfield after the departure of Casemiro and to strengthen the squad for the upcoming Champions League campaign. The transfer also marks one of the costliest deals for a midfielder in recent European markets.

The move was highlighted in Brazil as a notable success for Bahia, the club where Ederson began his career, underscoring the pathway from Brazilian youth development to top‑flight European football.
