Arsenal told to sign 50m Atalanta’s sensational midfielder Ederson

According to reports, Arsenal is looking to add a midfield player, and Ederson of Atalanta is on their radar. At Arsenal, Declan Rice, Mikel Merino, and Thomas Partey are vying for the number six and left-sided number eight positions, giving Mikel Arteta a formidable midfield group. But despite how difficult it will surely be to do, the Spaniard obviously believes there is space for progress. Ederson was instrumental in Atalanta’s Europa League-winning campaign the previous season and has been playing well this season in Italy.

Arsenal has been ordered to pay £50 million for Ederson, according to a report from Corriere dello Sport. The 25-year-old midfielder, who has all the necessary skills to thrive in the Premier League, has been called “sensational” by Eurosport.

Arsenal seems to have objected to a €60 million request for a midfield player

According to Friday’s issue of Corriere dello Sport, which previews Atalanta’s matchup against AC Milan later today, Liverpool and Arsenal are interested in the 25-year-old. The Brazil international will primarily be used by Gian Piero Gasperini to contain Milan star Tijjani Reijnders, according to the tabloid. The development of Éderson at Atalanta and his subsequent attraction of interest from other clubs are therefore the main topics of discussion.

The South American was approached by Liverpool and Arsenal to sign him, but both parties turned down Atalanta’s €60 million offer. It appears that a deal to bring the 25-year-old to the Emirates won’t materialize anytime soon because the Gunners aren’t prepared to satisfy Atalanta’s expectations anyway.
