Atalanta midfielder Ederson has signed a new contract with the club, extending his stay until June 2031.

The deal comes after Manchester United's sudden withdrawal from a €45 million transfer agreement.

The move was originally supposed to be finalized after Ederson's FIFA World Cup campaign with Brazil.

However, reports suggested that United opted to pursue Roma midfielder Manu Kone instead and cited concerns over Ederson's medical tests as the reason for their decision.
