The midfielder has been in good form for the Italian club and could be a great option for Liverpool. Liverpool are targeting Atalanta midfielder Ederson but face stiff competition from Newcastle United and Paris Saint-Germain.
Ederson, 24, has impressed in Serie A this season and the Brazilian has built a solid reputation for himself over the past 12 months. With Thiago out of contract at the end of the season, Liverpool could be looking for a new midfielder despite making four signings this summer.
Manchester United are one of a number of suitors for Ederson, with Atalanta reportedly receiving offers, according to the latest report from GOAL Brazil.
Arsenal, Manchester United, Newcastle and Paris Saint-Germain have also shown interest, but he could remain at the club until the summer. On the competitive side, Arsenal are looking for a new midfielder this year following injuries to Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny.
Manchester United are struggling for form and have been linked with a number of midfielders over the past year. Ederson could be the revitalizing signing they need to revive their sagging form. And while there is PSG who could finance a move at any time, a move to England is certainly a possibility.
His dynamic style of play is something Liverpool can capitalize on. Versatile midfielders such as Georginio Wijnaldum have enjoyed great success in the past and the numbers suggest that Ederson is a similar threat.
He’s managed six goals in all competitions this season, averages over 2.6 tackles per game, 5.7 recoveries, has a 67% dribble success rate and is dribbled past just 0.5 per game. Atalanta sit fourth in Serie A as they look to return to the Champions League, but they currently sit 10 points behind AC Milan in third place and 18 points behind the leaders Inter Milan.
Roma, Fiorentina and Lazio are right behind them and will be hoping to make it five wins from six games, including their most recent 2-1 win away to AC Milan.
