Atl\u00e9tico Madrid face a Manchester United and Arsenal threat in the transfer race for Atalanta\u2019s \u00c9derson. <\/strong><\/p>\n The La Liga side are looking to improve their midfield next season and have \u00c9derson as the main target.<\/p>\n Both Manchester United and Arsenal could provide competition and spoil the Madrid club\u2019s transfer efforts.<\/p>\n The Brazil international has been a regular for the Serie A side since joining them from Salernitana in July 2022. He played 172 matches so far and 34 are from this season.<\/p>\n His Serie A stats this season are as follows:<\/p>\n On March 13th, Sport Witness covered claims from Italy of the Red Devils joining the auction.<\/p>\n Earlier this week, we covered claims from Spain of Atl\u00e9tico Madrid sporting director Mateu Alemany\u2019s Italian trip to hold negotiations with Atalanta president Antonio Percassi. He had travelled to get ahead of Premier League sides like Arsenal.<\/p>\n Diego Simeone\u2019s side are willing to offer \u20ac35m plus \u20ac5m in bonuses while the Italian club want \u20ac50m. Other claims have mentioned of a verbal agreement with the 26-year-old.<\/p>\n All Atalanta <\/a>points it out when relaying the latest on L\u2019Eco di Bergamo on Manchester United and Arsenal.<\/p>\n The Premier League duo are still in the battle despite claims of an agreement in principle between Atl\u00e9tico and the player.<\/p>\n Manchester United are indeed keen and the Gunners are also getting involved in the battle. The two English clubs are trying to snatch the South American from the Spanish club\u2019s clutches and their interest could shake things up for the summer.<\/p>\n It\u2019s unclear where the Brazilian could end up but what seems \u2018certain\u2019 is that he will leave La Dea after this season.<\/p>\n \u00c9derson has less than 18 months left on his contract and the renewal is not in sight. His value, as per Transfer market<\/a>is \u20ac40m.<\/p>\n The next window will be Atalanta\u2019s last big chance to earn a good fee and to avoid losing him for free in 2027.<\/p>\n Agency Link Sports, headed by Brazilian agent Andr\u00e9 Cury, are managing him.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udde7\ud83c\uddf7 EXCLUSIVE: Arsenal tracking Lucca Marques<\/p>\n \u2b50\ufe0f 18-year-old\u2019s rapid rise catches attention \u2014 Sport Witness (@Sport_Witness) April 3, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \n <\/div>\n\n
