Atalanta midfielder Ederson revealed his impending move to Manchester United is "almost done", following Brazil's victory over Haiti at the World Cup.
Ederson replaced Bruno Guimaraes from the bench in Brazil's 3-0 win at Philadelphia Stadium on Friday, and afterwards, he was keen to address his future at club level.
Atalanta have reportedly accepted a €40.5m (£34m) fee plus €4.5m (£3.5m) in potential bonuses for Ederson to join Michael Carrick's side ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.
It is understood the Brazilian has agreed a four-year contract with an option for a further extension, as the Red Devils look to improve their midfield following Casemiro's departure.
Ederson's switch to Old Trafford looked set to go through in early June, but he received a late call-up to Brazil's World Cup squad after Flamengo's Wesley suffered an injury.
Speaking to Sky Sports Italia after Friday's match, Ederson said: "I have to wait. Now I have to enjoy this moment, then we will see.
"Certainly, everything is almost done, but now I have to enjoy this moment. This is a wonderful experience, and you have to enjoy it the most."
Ederson has enjoyed four impressive years at Atalanta, having helped Gian Piero Gasperini's side lift the Europa League trophy back in 2023-24, beating Bayer Leverkusen.
Since his debut for Atalanta in 2022, only Mattia Zaccagni (959) and Bryan Cristante (991) have won more duels than Ederson's 862, among Serie A players in all competitions.
He has made 180 appearances in all competitions for Atalanta, scoring 16 goals as well as providing five assists, while his 187 tackles rank as the fifth-highest among Serie A players since he joined the club four years ago.

Man U keep long to officially sign a player. They started to officially sign Ederson before Real Madrid officially purchase and sign Cucurela,Konate and co. They must be fast in signing a player.

There's no news here.. Man United are seriously useless club.. How many months have you been talking about signings and yet there's no action so far? You are going no where for this coming season with those average players you have.

I thought Manchester United is going to spend money on two world class defensive midfielders and will at least address other position with other average players . I don’t see us doing good next season and Micheal Carrick is going to be blamed . Yet everybody knows you can’t be a good squad without quality midfielders

Who told you he is an average player, at least with my badge you will know I am a Barca fan but then not every player that doesn’t have that popularity is an average player and also watch him well like his highlights and more… Don’t you have one norgaard in your team and that’s exactly average sh&t
