Man Utd in Ederson talks as Amorim cost becomes clear
- Published
Manchester United are in advanced talks to make Atalanta's Brazil midfielder Ederson their first summer signing.
Multiple sources have told BBC Sport a deal is close to completion, with a fee of 48m euros (£41.6m) likely for the 26-year-old.
United are prioritising strengthening central midfield this summer after the exit of Casemiro and uncertainty over Manuel Ugarte's future.
Meanwhile, United have confirmed it cost them £16.7m to dismiss former manager Ruben Amorim.
United sacked the former Sporting boss in January, less than 14 months after they paid £11m to bring him to the club from Portugal.
The exact figure was contained within the latest accounts.
