• •BBC Sport reports Manchester United’s move for Ederson has stalled despite earlier interest in a £35m valuation
• •Ederson’s performance at Atalanta established him as a defensive midfield target for multiple European clubs
• •The club has not confirmed if it will return with an improved bid or shift focus to alternative midfield targets

Manchester United's attempt to secure Atalanta midfielder Ederson for £35m has stalled, according to BBC Sport. This move follows a recurring pattern of the club re-evaluating high-cost targets mid-window to manage broader budgetary constraints. Negotiations appear to have hit an impasse, though neither party has officially ruled out a return to the table. Whether United pivots to other targets or waits for Atalanta to signal a lower price remains the primary uncertainty for the remainder of the window.
