Atalanta director Cristiano Giuntoli has expressed shock at Manchester United's decision to pull out of the Ederson transfer deal. The Red Devils had seemingly finalised the deal, but the Brazilian midfielder's medical raised concerns that led to the collapse of the agreement.
The Serie A club have denied any issues with Ederson's fitness, and the midfielder has been a key player for Atalanta. Giuntoli has stated that the club is now working on tying Ederson down to a new contract, suggesting that the player's future with the club is secure.
Manchester United's decision to pull out of the deal has sparked debate about whether the club will live to regret the move. Ederson is considered a top player, and his potential absence could have a significant impact on the team's performance. The club's decision to sign other players, such as Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans, may not have the same level of impact as signing Ederson at his peak age.
The collapse of the Ederson deal adds to the intrigue surrounding Manchester United's transfer business this summer. The club has been linked with several high-profile signings, but the Ederson deal's collapse raises questions about their ability to secure top talent.
Atalanta's Giuntoli has stated that the club is now focused on keeping Ederson, and it remains to be seen whether Manchester United will regret their decision to pull out of the deal. The club's next move will be closely watched by fans and pundits alike, as they attempt to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
