Huge news has been announced on Ederson’s move to Liverpool in the summer Never thought I would be reading news like this.. 🤯
Atalanta, recent Europa League champions, are refuting claims that Liverpool has submitted a bid for Ederson in the lead-up to the summer transfer window.
Fabrizio Romano addressed these rumors, clarifying that although Liverpool has shown interest in Ederson, Atalanta has not yet received an official offer.
Romano stated, “Atalanta is aware of Liverpool’s interest but no formal proposal has been made, and the club intends to keep Ederson.”
He also mentioned that Liverpool has reached out to Ederson’s representatives to gauge his availability, but stressed that this does not indicate an imminent or certain deal. “Liverpool is exploring the market and assessing their options,” Romano added.
This comes after SportsZone reported that Liverpool was nearing an agreement with the Serie A player.
Despite significant investment in their midfield last year, Liverpool’s midfield has shown occasional weaknesses.
Acquiring a top-tier No.6 could enhance their defensive stability and complement their creative players.
Ederson has played a crucial role in Atalanta’s achievements, including their Europa League triumph. However, his style as a box-to-box midfielder, as described by Tiago Nunes, might not align with Liverpool’s need for a defensive No.6.
In conclusion, while Ederson is a promising talent, Liverpool may need to focus on securing a midfielder with strong defensive attributes to bolster their backline.
