Ederson to Undergo Second Medical with United

Medical Timeline

Ederson will travel to England later this week for a second medical with Manchester United after Brazil’s World Cup campaign ended. The 27‑year‑old Brazilian midfielder already completed an initial health check while on international duty in the United States. United want their own club doctors to run further tests before giving the final green light on the transfer.

With the World Cup over, the Atalanta star is expected to jet to England for that follow‑up medical, a step that brings the deal closer to completion. Sources indicate the move is still in play, even though it has not been formally sealed.

Financial Terms

In June, United reportedly agreed a €45 million package to bring Ederson to Old Trafford. The figure breaks down into €40.5 million in guaranteed fees and an additional €4.5 million in performance‑related bonuses. The financial structure reflects United’s willingness to invest in midfield depth.

While the exact obligations are tied to add‑ons, the base amount places Ederson among United’s most expensive signings in recent windows, underscoring the club’s ambition to strengthen the engine room.

Squad Plans

United have also finalised a €58.5 million (£50 million) deal for Chelsea’s midfielder Andrey Santos, highlighting a busy summer for the Red Devils. The club remains intent on adding two new midfielders, so Ederson’s potential arrival does not clash with that strategy but rather complements it. The manager is looking for competition in the middle of the park, and Ederson’s experience could provide that edge.

For the forthcoming season, a successful medical would allow United to integrate Ederson early, giving him time to settle and battle for a starting spot. The addition could reshape the team’s tactical options, especially in midfield roles that demand both creativity and defensive work.
