Atl\u00e9tico Madrid fear competition from Arsenal in the race to sign Atalanta’s \u00c9derson.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Brazil international could be on the move in the summer and Arsenal have been pulled into the mix.<\/p>\n He joined the Serie A side from Salernitana in 2022 and has been a regular for them since then. The player\u00a0was a key part of La Dea squad that won the Europa League during the 2023\/24 season.<\/p>\n This season, \u00c9derson played 2,502 minutes from 33 matches, managing two goals and an assist.<\/p>\n His Serie A stats are as follows:<\/p>\n The La Liga side have long been keen on signing \u00c9derson and have already made a firm attempt for the next window.<\/p>\n That\u2019s according to Wednesday\u2019s edition of Mark<\/a>who mention Arsenal in a report on Los Rojiblancos. Their title states: ‘Atl\u00e9tico Madrid’s ‘Anti-Premier League’ Offensive for \u00c9derson’.<\/em><\/p>\n A few days ago, Los Rojiblancos sporting director Mateu Alemany made a trip to Italy for a meeting with Atalanta president Antonio Percassi. The meeting was to accelerate talks and try and secure an agreement for the 26-year-old\u2019s transfer to the Spanish club.<\/p>\n On March 13th, Sport Witness relayed news Manchester United will battle with Atl\u00e9tico for \u00c9derson. The source reported his starting price as \u20ac30m, \u20ac20m less than quoted by Marca.<\/p>\n The newspaper makes no mention of any other English club apart from the Gunners. Alemany travelled to Italy due the \u2018Premier League threat\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n He decided to act to prevent interference from clubs like Mikel Arteta\u2019s side, who have better financial muscle than Atl\u00e9tico. The South American earns \u20ac4-5m per year and it should be affordable for both Arsenal and Simeone\u2019s side.<\/p>\n Andrea Berta is currently working in a sports direction role for Arsenal, and prior to that he was well established at Atl\u00e9tico Madrid. Los Rojiblancos\u2019 worry may therefore be founded in knowing Berta likes the player.<\/p>\n \u00c9derson\u2019s contract expires in 2027, meaning the next window will be Atalanta\u2019s last big chance to collect a good fee. His value, as per Transfer market<\/a>is \u20ac40m, and he\u2019s represented by Andr\u00e9 Cury.<\/p>\n Last November, the agent mentioned that \u20ac30-40m may be enough, and his client\u2019s sale may be concluded in this region. At the lower end of that estimate, the transfer looks very good value for money.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udde7\ud83c\uddf7 Luiz Henrique | Arsenal opportunity to sign Brazil winger for \u20ac40m<\/p>\n \u2b50\ufe0f Star named Gunners as dream club \u2014 Sport Witness (@Sport_Witness) March 27, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \n <\/div>\n\n

Diego Simeone\u2019s side aren\u2019t willing to offer more than \u20ac35m plus \u20ac5m bonuses while La Dea are demanding \u20ac50m. Despite the difference, the former are pushing to secure his services.<\/p>\nAndrea Berta the obvious link<\/h2>\n
