Manchester City are ready to ramp up their chase of Ederson and make a €70 million offer to Atalanta in the hope of beating some domestic rivals.

According to Jorge Nicola, Manchester City are ramping up efforts to land Ederson from Atalanta and are readying a €70 million offer for the midfielder. The Brazilian has been a consistent presence for the Italian side, with Liverpool and Manchester United mentioned among the suitors for the midfielder.

Manchester City are expected to have a busy period in the summer window as Pep Guardiola will ask the board to give him some key players in different positions. After a season to forget behind them now, the central midfield area has been a source of concern for the Catalan boss, something that he will want addressed in the transfer market.

As per multiple reports, it appears a central midfielder of the all-action variety is high on Giardiola’s list, as there are some names already under consideration. AC Milan’s Tijjani Reijnders is a big target for Man City, while they are also on the case of Ederson from Atalanta.

Whether it’s a case of one of those or both Serie A midfielders remains to be seen as those two are of a similar profile. Sticking with Atalanta’s Ederson, the midfielder has been ready to leave the club as Manchester City were set to ramp up their chase.

Liverpool and Manchester United were also mentioned as suitors, as Jorge Nicola reiterates the same. The two Premier League giants are also in the market for a top draw midfielder to resolve their respective problems in the area. However, Manchester City are the ones ramping up their efforts to land the Brazilian who was also called up by Carlo Ancelotti to the Brazilian camp.

Manchester City prepare €70 million Ederson offer

Manchester City are now preparing an offer worth €70 million to test Atalanta’s resolve on the Serie A midfielder. The Bergamo side had demanded a slightly higher fee sometime ago and might consider what the Premier League giants are offering as per the story.

Ederson has been a key part of that Atalanta side for the last few seasons, and that €70 million mark feels just about right. Manchester City will feel the need to land the Brazilian as part of the midfield revamp, as he will be a solid addition to play alongside the formidable Rodri next season.
