Manchester United’s Ederson Transfer Stalls After Medical

June Agreement and Initial Medical

Manchester United sealed a deal for Ederson on June 2, agreeing to pay €40.5 million plus €4.5 million in add‑ons. The transaction faltered when the goalkeeper’s medical evaluation raised questions. United wanted additional scans to examine an unspecified issue before proceeding.

Why the Transfer Halted

Ederson was traveling with Brazil for the 2026 World Cup and only completed initial tests in the United States. After 48 hours of additional scans, the club decided to pull out of the agreement. Multiple outlets, including Sky Sport Italia and Fabrizio Romano, reported that United informed Atalanta they would not push the deal through.

Impact on Both Clubs

Some sources, such as BBC Sport and Sky Sports Deutschland, suggest a final decision has not yet been made. Italian media assume United simply changed their minds over the past five weeks. The possibility of renegotiating the €45 million total remains, but Atalanta seems unlikely to accept new terms.

The uncertainty leaves Ederson in a holding pattern as clubs and fans wait for clarity on his immediate future. United must decide whether to retain their current number one or search for a replacement before the season begins. Atalanta, meanwhile, will monitor interest and prepare for potential squad adjustments. The limbo could affect both sides’ plans ahead of pre‑season training.
