Before the World Cup kicked off, reports emerged that Atalanta and Manchester United had reached an agreement for his transfer.<\/p>\n<p>For a deal worth \u20ac45 million (\u00a338 million), the Samba star was set to leave Bergamo for Manchester. As a long-term United target for many, this deal should have left supporters satisfied.<\/p>\n<h2>Doubts over Ederson signing<\/h2>\n<p>However, some worry that, like Manuel Ugarte, he may fail to adapt to the Premier League. Furthermore, as he was a late call-up to Brazil\u2019s World Cup squad after Wesley suffered an injury, his medical is yet to take place despite the club-to-club agreement.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, some are now lobbying United to pull out of the deal, with a chance still remaining to do so. And while credible sources insist the deal will go through, transfer guru Ben Jacobs has dropped a bombshell on the Ederson situation.<\/p>\n<p>He reports: \u201cManchester United to conduct thorough medical exams on Ederson before determining whether to proceed with a \u20ac45m deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClarity expected soon now the World Cup has finished.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Manchester United to conduct thorough medical exams on Ederson before determining whether to proceed with a \u20ac45m deal.<\/p>\n<p>Clarity expected soon now the World Cup has finished.\ud83c\udde7\ud83c\uddf7 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PaeE48L2HI\">pic.twitter.com\/PaeE48L2HI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ben Jacobs (@JacobsBen) July 8, 2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Genuine chance this deal falls through<\/h3>\n<p>Jacobs, however, does not exude confidence over the deal\u2019s chances. It is probable that United have learnt something about the player\u2019s fitness that is not yet public knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Ederson will be hoping all goes well with his medical, and it should.<\/p>\n<p>Despite striking an agreement with Chelsea for Andrey Santos, it would be unwise for INEOS to pull the plug on the Ederson deal.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Devils are struggling to land their top midfield targets, and Ederson is a decent central midfielder who deserves a chance.<\/p>\n<p>With him and Santos, the 20-time English champions will be just one midfielder away from assembling an engine room that Michael Carrick can trust and rely on.<\/p>\n<p>That said, as Jacobs puts it, supporters must wait and see whether Ederson eventually signs for United.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image by Simone Arveda\/Getty Images<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>The Peoples Person has been one of the world\u2019s leading Man United news sites for over a decade.
