According to reports, Arsenal has entered the competition to sign a top midfield target from Manchester United and Newcastle United this summer. The €50 million Serie A star is expected to give a struggling Gunners player more competition come next season.
This weekend, Mikel Arteta’s team will travel to Southampton in the FA Cup quarterfinals to continue their quest for a historic Treble. They are now nine points ahead in the Premier League championship battle and will play Sporting CP in the Champions League final eight.
Sporting director Andrea Berta is keeping an eye on Arsenal’s summer transfer business despite the team still having a lot on the line. According to the most recent sources from Spain, a move for Atalanta midfielder Ederson may be imminent.
According to Spanish publication Marca, the Gunners have joined Atletico Madrid in their pursuit of the Brazilian, who TEAMtalk has previously stated is a serious contender for Manchester United’s midfield rebuild and is also of interest to Newcastle.
Ederson’s contract expires in 2027, and both Premier League teams were interested in him during the January transfer window and are anticipated to rekindle their interest in the summer.
According to the source, Atalanta would demand at least €50 million (£43.6 million or $57.6 million) for their star midfield player in their final chance to get paid a substantial amount for his services.
While teams like Arsenal, Manchester United, and Newcastle won’t have any problems paying that kind of sum, Atletico is only willing to pay €35 million plus €5 million in bonuses, according to the article.
It’s not surprising that Arsenal is now vying for the talented 26-year-old Ederson, as Atletico’s interest in the player actually derives from Berta’s time at the club.
