# Manchester United end Ederson move as Tielemans medical nears

**Manchester United have formally informed Atalanta that they will not complete a deal for Éderson after concerns emerged during further medical checks.**

United had agreed a fee worth around £38m for the Brazil midfielder, but the club decided not to proceed on the original terms. Fabrizio Romano reports that Atalanta have now offered Éderson a new contract until June 2031.

The 27-year-old has returned to Italy following Brazil’s World Cup exit and will discuss his future with Atalanta. He reportedly feels disappointed after the proposed Old Trafford move collapsed.

## United accelerate Tielemans move

Michael Carrick has quickly redirected his midfield plans towards Youri Tielemans. [Sky Sports reports that United have triggered a release clause worth around £36m](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/13562972/youri-tielemans-manchester-united-in-talks-to-sign-aston-villa-and-belgium-midfielder) in the Aston Villa midfielder’s contract.

United have reached a verbal agreement with Tielemans, who could undergo his medical at Carrington on Tuesday. The Belgium international would become Carrick’s second midfield addition after the £50m signing of Andrey Santos from Chelsea.

The switch represents a significant change in profile. Éderson would have added defensive power, ball-winning ability and athleticism, while Tielemans offers greater Premier League experience and more control in possession.

ReadManUtd’s [latest midfield briefing examined the uncertainty surrounding Éderson and United’s alternative options](https://readmanutd.com/2026/07/13/man-utd-briefing-darlow-ederson-kone-13-july/). Carrick now appears ready to pair Tielemans with Santos rather than wait for fresh negotiations with Atalanta.

United have protected themselves from committing a major fee to a player whose medical information caused concern. However, they must now ensure Tielemans provides the balance Carrick needs rather than simply representing the quickest available alternative.

Completing the deal before pre-season begins would at least give the manager two new midfielders from the start of the summer programme.
