Manchester United are denying reports that the club have walked away from a deal for Atalanta’s Ederson, per Sky Sports journalist Lyall Thomas.
Fabrizio Romano recently claimed United will not complete the 27-year-old’s transfer after agreeing a deal with the Serie A outfit.
The Premier League giants are said to have changed their mind after Ederson’s recent medical tests flagged up an issue.
But United are denying these reports, insisting the process is still ongoing and no final decision has been made.
Strengthening the midfield has been a priority for the Manchester club this summer after Casemiro’s departure and Manuel Ugarte’s long-term injury on World Cup duty with Uruguay.
However, they have suffered setback after setback in their pursuit of key targets.
They backed out of discussions for Elliot Anderson due to Nottingham Forest’s huge asking price.
United were then beaten to the signing of Mateus Fernandes by Tottenham Hotspur after they agreed to meet West Ham United’s £85 million valuation.
Ederson looked destined to join Old Trafford after the club agreed a deal with Atalanta, but a transfer appears unlikely now.
The summer transfer window officially opened on June 15 and United are yet to complete their first signing.
Although that could change soon, as the Red Devils are expected to announce Andrey Santos who has already completed his medical after a £50m agreement with Chelsea.
