Manchester United Now Atalanta are trying to turn their long-standing interest in midfielder Ederson into a concrete move, after several weeks of growing indications that a deal could lead to a move away from Atletico Madrid.

The Brazilian has become one of the biggest midfield stories to come in the summer window. Arsenal, Newcastle United and Juventus have all appeared in the picture at different moments.

After this, Atletico Madrid looked ready to win the race reach a verbal agreement With the player the week before.

But the Spanish side have struggled to meet Atalanta’s demands, which are thought to be around €45m-50m (£38m-42m). It has opened the door again – and Manchester United are now ready to charge through it.

Manchester United is now trying to move forward quickly

Italian journalist alfredo pedulla Manchester United will reportedly hold fresh talks next week as they try to speed up the operation.

According to him, the Premier League side were actually the first club to make a serious move for Ederson more than a year and a half ago. United have kept an eye on him since then.

Now they are trying to beat the competition by “breaking the 40 million euro wall.”

That line is important because atlético madrid problems Never really thought about explaining it to the player. The real issue is Atalanta’s asking price.

Little changed in Atletico deal

Pedulla also says that Manchester United want to first agree a salary with Ederson’s entourage before moving forward fully on club-to-club talks.

This is particularly interesting as Atlético Madrid had already managed to do this months earlier, before talks stalled elsewhere.

Recent reports in Spain It was claimed that Ederson rejected approaches from Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle United as he preferred a move to the Metropolitano. But Atletico’s inability to complete a deal with Atalanta has changed the mood of the situation.

The Old Trafford club is also rising from a position of need. Casemiro is expected to leave this summer, while Manuel Ugarte’s future still looks uncertain. So Michael Carrick wants midfield reinforcements and Ederson fits the profile that United have been lacking for some time.

As we covered recently, Ederson is now confident and love to go to old trafford.

what happens next

The next step now seems quite clear. Manchester United want to secure personal terms before making a decisive move towards the valuation of Atalanta.

Atletico Madrid are still there, but the dynamic has changed. Arsenal and Newcastle United continue to loom in the background, although neither have stepped up the pace recently.

After tracking Ederson for over 18 months, United are now determined to ensure they are the club that ultimately secures a deal.

Big changes are coming for the New York Islanders. The main focus is on their new head coach, but they are also considering recalling their top prospect.

Addressing the Islanders media regarding the firing of Patrick Roy and the hiring of Peter DeBoer, general manager Matthew Darche did not rule out recalling top prospect Victor Eklund.

“We’re looking at everything,” Darche said. “Every day we want to have the best roster we have [on the ice]”

As his season in Sweden ended, on March 26, Eklund was reassigned by the Islanders from Djurgården of the SHL to the Bridgeport Islanders of the American Hockey League. Since then, he has recorded six assists in four games while showing exceptional offensive creativity.

“It was really fun,” Eklund said. “I wanted to play as soon as possible because I was so excited.”

Eklund’s brief sample of AHL success comes off the back of a solid SHL season in which he scored six goals and 24 points in 43 games as a 19-year-old.

Now, the Islanders have tightened their belts after falling out of playoff position as a result of a four-game slump and a 3-7-0 record in their last 10 games.

Thus, Roy is out, and DeBoer is in, as Darche is not going to let the season he is having go to waste by acquiring Brayden Schenn at the 2026 NHL trade deadline.

The Islanders are out of playoff position with 89 after they were eliminated by the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday. The Flyers have a game in hand on the Islanders, so Darche and company, and sidelining Eklund with four games left in the season and the Stanley Cup playoffs on the line, will speak volumes about the confidence the Islanders organization has in Eklund.

The Islanders drafted Eklund in the first round of the 2025 NHL Draft with the first of back-to-back selections they received from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Noah Dobson.

When the Philadelphia 76ers hosted the Chicago Bulls at Xfinity Mobile Arena on Wednesday, VJ Edgecombe was probably happy to see some of his teammates in uniform.

Joel Embiid returned from an oblique strain, while Paul George returned from a 25-game suspension for violating the league’s drug policy. The 76ers made light work of the Bulls, 157–137, to return to the win column.

The Sixers bounced back from a 123-103 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder at home on Monday, leaving Edgecombe to lead the team as Embiid, George, Tyrese Maxey and Kelly Oubre Jr. were out.

The 20-year-old Edgecombe has learned to mature quickly while accepting the responsibilities of being a key member of the Philadelphia Phillies. He told Philly Sports Network how he has avoided the so-called rookie wall.

“It’s all a mental thing. I try to stay mentally strong. I have a good group of guys around me. That helps with that. So I just try to stay mentally strong and enjoy it. I’m just enjoying the whole process. I haven’t got time to just sit back and cope and get angry about anything,” Edgecombe said.

He scored 22 points on 7-of-9 shooting against the Bulls, including 4-of-5 from long range. He added six rebounds and six assists.

The third overall pick is averaging 16.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.4 steals and will likely make the All-Rookie First Team.

Although he can be erratic at times, that’s understandable for a young player finding his way in the NBA. The learning curve is high for Edgecombe, and he is ready to put in the work and learn more from his teammates.
