Liverpool make first move for in-demand midfielder – Player will consider exit on one condition

Liverpool made an approach for Atalanta midfielder Ederson, according to reports today.

The chase is revealed by the Brazilian media, where Goal Brasil claims the Reds are interested in the 24-year-old.

It’s said Liverpool are one of the clubs who made contact for Ederson, even though he’s not expected to leave the Serie A side this month.

The midfielder is said to be happy at Atalanta, where he’s having a very positive season, and is ‘willing to listen’ to offers ahead of a summer move, as long as the offer is the right one for Atalanta.

There’s no information on how much the Serie A side would like to demand for his transfer, while he’s valued by Transfermarkt at €27m.

Liverpool should just be aware that they’re definitely not alone in the race for Ederson.

The midfielder has been heavily linked to an exit from Atalanta lately, and this story from Goal claims that Paris Saint Germain, Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle United have all made approaches for his transfer as well.

Therefore, this should all turn into an interesting summer battle if all get involved for a very in-demand midfielder.
