According to well-known Italian transfer reporter Pedula, Atalanta has rejected Manchester United’s €50 million offer for Edson, insisting that the Brazilian player is not for sale.
Yesterday, Pedula stated that Manchester United’s executives recently visited Atalanta’s club headquarters, one of their purposes being to explore the transfer conditions for Edson. The reality facing Atalanta is that Kuipers is very close to joining Juventus, while Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal are also keen on Lookman. Now, Edson has become a coveted target for top clubs as well. All these players were key contributors to Atalanta’s victory in the Europa League and fourth place finish in the league last season, and Atalanta is fully aware of this.
According to Pedula’s follow-up report, Atalanta very directly rejected Manchester United’s €50 million offer for Edson. Atalanta’s stance is that under any circumstances, the club is not interested in selling Edson this summer.
In 2022, Atalanta spent €22.9 million to bring Edson from Salernitana. Gasperini holds this player in high regard, believing he can play in multiple positions. Currently, this Brazilian midfielder’s contract with Atalanta will expire in 2027, and he has been selected for the Brazilian national team.
