Ederson has said his Manchester United transfer is almost done while he remains on Brazil duty at the 2026 World Cup.
Manchester United have agreed a deal with Atalanta worth an initial £34million plus £3.8million in add-ons. The 26-year-old now looks set to become Michael Carrick’s first summer signing.
Brazil called Ederson into Carlo Ancelotti’s squad late, which delayed the final stages of the Old Trafford move. He then came off the bench in Brazil’s 3-0 win over Haiti in Philadelphia.
That international involvement remains the key reason United have not formally announced the transfer.
Ederson Wait Now Centres On Brazil Schedule
United supporters have already waited for the deal to move from agreed to announced. Ederson’s own comments should ease any concern around the direction of travel.
The bigger question is timing.
World Cup involvement and post-tournament rest will likely shape when he links up with Carrick’s squad.
ReadManUtd has already covered why Ederson’s Manchester United transfer was delayed by Brazil duty. The latest update only strengthens that picture.
United have the framework in place. They now need Ederson to finish his international work before he starts the next phase at Carrington.
