Manchester United’s medical examination for Éderson remains in progress, with Sky Sports reporting that the club expects to finalise the transfer within the next few days.

The update was conveyed by UtdDistrict on Thursday evening, referencing Sky Sports as the source. It was mentioned that the medical is described as “thorough,” and the process has not yet reached a conclusion that would allow United to officially confirm the signing.

Reports have indicated that an agreement in principle has already been reached between Manchester United and Atalanta, with Éderson set to strengthen the midfield this summer. His participation in Brazil’s World Cup campaign — where the Seleção were eliminated in the Round of 16 — meant that United could only bring him to England for the full medical evaluation after the tournament’s completion.

The extended timeline is notable, given that the deal was widely believed to be completed in June. The fact that United’s medical team is conducting further checks suggests a cautious approach, which is understandable considering the club’s recent experiences with injury-prone signings. Investing a substantial fee in a player with any lingering physical uncertainty presents a significant risk.

For perspective, United have carried out similarly comprehensive assessments for other summer arrivals, showing that the club is determined not to rush through their medical procedures, even when contractual terms are already settled.

According to Sky Sports, via UtdDistrict, Manchester United remain optimistic about completing Éderson’s transfer within days. The results of the ongoing medical checks in England will determine whether the club proceed under the agreed terms or reconsider their stance.

Until the examinations are concluded and approved, the official announcement remains pending — the completion of the medical appears to be the final step before Éderson is officially unveiled as a Manchester United player.
