Ederson has become the main target of Atlético de Madrid to strengthen the midfield in this final stretch of the market. The red and white club has been working on a complex but strategic operation for weeks.

From the Metropolitano offices, it is clear that Ederson is the ideal profile to fill the void left by Conor Gallagher. A complete midfielder, with physique, judgment, and experience at the highest level in Europe. The negotiation is alive. Not closed, but not ruled out either. There is moderate optimism at Atlético, based on the player's firm intention to make the leap to LaLiga.

Ederson and the challenge with Atalanta

According to AS, the main obstacle for Ederson to wear red and white is Atalanta. The Italian club is in no rush and has set a clear red line. In Bergamo, they will not consider proposals below 50 million euros. That is the minimum figure to start negotiating the transfer of Ederson in this market.

Atlético de Madrid tries to lower these demands by relying on several factors. The first one is that the player has already communicated his intention not to renew his contract, which expires in 2027. This places Atalanta in an obvious dilemma: sell now or risk negotiating with less margin in a few months.

Ederson, objective of Atlético

The player's will tips the balance

Here comes the role of Ederson. The Brazilian has made it clear that he wants to play for Atlético de Madrid and fulfill his dream of competing in Spain. The sports project presented by the red and white sports management has fully convinced Ederson, who sees the Metropolitano as the ideal environment to grow.

In recent weeks, even several key players from the Atlético dressing room have contacted him to convey confidence. The response has been a resounding yes.

A red-hot end to the market

Mateu Alemany is working in the shadows to unlock an operation that would mark the end of the Atlético de Madrid market. Ederson is the absolute priority. The club knows that there will be no room for improvisation. If the midfielder arrives, it will be Ederson. If not, they will wait until summer.

But the message is clear: Atlético de Madrid is willing to push until the last minute for Ederson, even knowing that Atalanta will not easily drop below the 50 million mark.
