Manchester United moves in on a new €45m midfielder

Manchester United is already ramping up its summer transfer window and has reportedly activated a new top-priority target to strengthen its midfield.

Manchester United is gearing up for the summer market even though the current season is far from over. With Casemiro officially leaving and a possible transfer for Manuel Ugarte on the cards, the Red Devils are eager to bolster their midfield early to avoid any last-minute scramble as the window closes.

According to the latest updates from Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, fresh talks are expected in the coming days regarding Éderson. The Brazilian midfielder is now on United’s shortlist to strengthen the engine room for next season.

🚨 New contacts will take place in the next days for Éderson’s future with Manchester United interested.

He’s one of the names on the shortlist for midfield, not the only one + more options being considered.

The same source claims the player would be open to joining Manchester United. His club is reportedly demanding around €45 million to part ways with the midfielder, who is now considered one of the serious options under review by the English club’s management.
