Ederson back on the Juventus wish list amid Atalanta uncertainty

Atalanta midfielder Ederson is again being linked with a possible January offer from Juventus, as his contract is due to expire in June 2027.

The Brazil international had already been a target for several clubs over the summer, including Manchester United, Chelsea and Inter.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Bianconeri are ready to try again in the January transfer window.

They are boosted by the fact that there is still no progress in working out a new contract beyond the current deal, which only runs to June 2027.

Juve’s first choice is Sandro Tonali, but Newcastle United have no intention of letting the Italy international leave, and certainly not mid-season.

Having already purchased Teun Koopmeiners at the end of an ill-tempered negotiation process, the rapport between the two clubs is not a good one.

It means Juventus would need to pay the full asking price for Ederson, who is seen as a replacement for Manuel Locatelli in Luciano Spalletti’s midfield.

That is going to be at least €50m, although the contract situation does add some uncertainty to this scenario.
