Ederson, a midfield player for Atlanta, has been linked to Liverpool. The Reds have already scouted the Brazilian player well in an effort to recruit him when the transfer window reopens. Wataru Endo is the only recognized defensive midfielder on Arne Solt’s Kirkby roster, therefore the Merseyside Reds desperately need to add a new player.

The Japanese international was signed by Liverpool as a stopgap to replace the departing Jordan Henderson and Fabinho. Since then, the team has been linked to a number of players, but no deal has come through, and the pressure on the team to find a long-term midfield solution has increased.

As of right now, the Dutch head coach has been filling the position with Ryan Gravenberch. However, Liverpool is anticipated to pursue a new defensive midfielder in the coming windows, and Ederson is reportedly among Julian Ward’s top targets.

Nevertheless, Real Madrid is prepared to challenge the Premier League’s top teams in an attempt to get Ederson, making it much more difficult for the Reds to obtain the midfield player from Atalanta.

According to Defensa Central, the Los Blancos are very interested in the 25-year-old Ederson and see him as a long-term replacement for Toni Kroos, who recently announced his retirement. But even before the 2025 transfer window opens, there will be fierce rivalry because teams like Manchester City and Arsenal have already shown interest in signing the midfield player in addition to Liverpool.

All of the aforementioned teams will gladly shell out the estimated €50 million that Atalanta is expected to seek for the midfield player in order to get Ederson.
