Ederson won’t be officially unveiled as a Man Utd player until he returns from holiday, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano said that Atalanta and United have signed all of the necessary documents, but the midfielder still needs to complete some formal steps, including signing his contract and undergoing a medical:

“Manchester United formally closed their first signing of the summer. Was a ‘here we go’ a few days ago, but now everything is in paper between Manchester United and Atalanta for Ederson. The Brazilian midfielder is a Man United player from today. What’s needed now is Ederson, after the holidays, go to England, take his official medical, sign the contract. ”

“I’m told that a first unofficial medical already took place with the authorisation of Atalanta. Everything is okay between Ederson and Man United since months ago. He only wants to go to Man United, and now also the agreement closed between the two clubs on paper.”

How much will Ederson cost?

It is believed that the Red Devils will spend a total of €45m (£39m) on the Brazilian, including performance-related add-ons.

£35m is expected to be paid up front, which seems a reasonable price for a player who had just one year left on his contract.

Who will Man Utd target next this summer?

Director of Football Jason Wilcox is prioritising reinforcements in midfield, with at least two additions expected for that position.

Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson is said to be the dream target, but with rivals Manchester City still deemed favourites for the England international, the next player down the list is thought to be West Ham’s Mateus Fernandes.

There is a lot of competition for the 21-year-old, and the Hammers are demanding £80m, but there is confidence that a deal can be done, with Fernandes reportedly keen on linking up with his namesake Bruno.
