Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Liverpool’s interest in Atalanta midfielder, Ederson, after it was reported earlier today that the Reds had bid for the player.
The start of the 2024/25 season is just around the corner, and, with the summer transfer window open on June 14th, the rumour mill has started to turn.
The 24-year-old had a stellar 2023/24 campaign and was key to the Bergamo club winning the Europa League title this season.
It’s no surprise that the Reds are looking to sign reinforcements for their midfield as they enter a new era under Arne Slot.
WHAT FABRIZIO ROMANO HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE LIVERPOOL AND EDERSON LINKS
And, to kick-start that era, Fabrizio Romano has now confirmed Liverpool’s interest in the midfielder, however, he has denied claims of a bid being made as of yet.
However, the Reds have made contact with his agents in order to see if a deal could be made between the two clubs
We heard today reports of a bid from Liverpool for Ederson. What I’m hearing is that Atalanta at the moment haven’t received an official bid for Ederson yet,” the Italian spoke on his personal YouTube channel.
“They know there is interest in Ederson but they have not received any official proposal and they want to keep Ederson at the club.”
“But, it’s also true that Liverpool made contact with the agents of Ederson recently to understand the situation of the player.
“It doesn’t mean that Ederson is going to Liverpool, it doesn’t mean that Ederson to Liverpool is a close or advanced or done deal. But Liverpool are exploring the market before deciding which players they will go for and which players they won’t go for.
“This is the situation around Ederson: They have been following the player, scouting the player, but they still don’t know what they will do in that position in the midfield.
“Ederson is a player they are monitoring, they appreciate, they made contact with his agents. But at the moment before saying he’s in the list and they’ve made a bid, we still have to wait with Atalanta also waiting to understand which club will approach them for Ederson.”
