Manchester United Ederson is heading towards the final stages of his deal, and the Brazilian has now given him a lovely time.
atalanta midfielder It's already close to Old Trafford. Now, even before the transfer has become official, Carlo Ancelotti has given him a late World Cup call-up.
few weeks for ederson
ESPN Brazil Sports Center It has just been reported that Ederson has entered very advanced talks to join Manchester United next season. He also described him as almost an ex-Atlanta player.
Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicola Then added more details. He said Atalanta and Manchester United have scheduled a decisive meeting for Tuesday.
According to him, the final details of the operation should be decided in that meeting.
Nicola also spoke to Ederson's representative Andre Cury. Curie told him that everything was already agreed in principle between the clubs.
Only small details remain. And they hope to be resolved by Tuesday, when Ederson becomes a Manchester United player.
The deal is worth €48m (£40.5m). That figure already includes bonuses, which Curie said is easily achievable.
There is also a nice detail in the background. Sportscentre stated that Casemiro had recommended Ederson to Manchester United before he left the club.
Brazil The call comes at just the right time
Ederson got his chance in Brazil as Roma's Wesley was left out of the World Cup squad.
The right-back suffered a left thigh injury during Brazil's friendly match against Egypt. The sentiment around the team was already pessimistic on Saturday night.
The problem was later confirmed in medical tests. This left one final spot open in Ancelotti's squad.
However, the Brazil manager did not call up any other right-back. Instead, he chose Ederson. Sportscenter reported that Danilo and Ibañez are expected to cover that area for Brazil, even though they are not natural right-backs.
As a result, Ancelotti has gained another midfield option. And the timing could hardly have been better for Manchester United. His upcoming signing has suddenly received a huge international endorsement even before the ink has dried.
Ederson beats the queue
Ederson also had to beat out competition for this place. SportsCenter said he came ahead of other names that were considered, including Andre Santos. The Chelsea midfielder was mentioned as a possible World Cup substitute.
This was not a vacant position handed to Ederson. In Brazil, a story about his queue jumping is being spun. The phrase used by SportsCenter was that he "outshone the competition".
It's a useful stamp of approval for United, especially ahead of a €48m deal.
momentum was building
Ederson had been called by Ancelotti once before. He was included in Italy's first Brazil squad, although he did not play. Nevertheless, Sportscenter insisted that he remains on the national team's radar.
Nicola said Ederson and his staff were confident he would go to the World Cup after Ancelotti took charge in Brazil.
There was a reason for that confidence. According to Nicola, two of Ancelotti's assistants live very close to Bergamo. He knew Ederson's work well in Atlanta.
This explains why this call-up was made late rather than random. Ederson then suffered injuries that prevented him from joining subsequent teams. Still, he never completely disappeared from the picture.
Now the opportunity has come at the last possible moment. He was in a rural area for a friend's wedding when the call came. From there he traveled to New York on Sunday night.
This morning, Adderson had already landed in the United States.
Now he will join Brazil for his first World Cup. Manchester United is still waiting for everything to become official. Yet, before that announcement, their new midfielder had already made quite an entrance.
