Ederson's €45m move to Manchester United is at the final medical stage, with a Friday decision due after extra tests were flagged by Brazil camp doctors. The midfielder had the first day of intensive medical tests with United on Thursday, and he is due to complete them on Friday, July 10. The reported package is €40.5m in fixed fees plus €4.5m in bonuses.
The medical checks and the fee
Football Italia reported that multiple sources confirmed Ederson had the first day of intensive medical tests and would finish them on Friday for €45m. The same report said Manchester United would then decide whether to go ahead with the transfer.
That lines up with the earlier testing in America at Brazil's World Cup camp, where doctors asked for further follow-up tests. It is not being framed as a diagnosis or a verdict on a specific injury, just a checkpoint before the club signs off on a move that had reportedly been agreed last month.
Ederson's recent form does at least explain why United are pressing on. His last five Europa League ratings were 6.7 against Fenerbahce, 8.2 in the 1-1 draw with Rangers, 7 in the loss to Lazio, 7 in the win over Lyon and 6.6 in the draw with Union SG. That is a steady run rather than a spike, which is usually the profile clubs want before paying this kind of fee.
United and Atalanta wait for Friday
United finished third in the 2025 Premier League season with 71 points, so the push for midfield reinforcement is hardly a mystery. Atalanta, meanwhile, have had a mixed run of results, with their last five league games reading D-L-W-D-L.
The key point is that the transfer is not being treated as finished business yet. The club have already gone through the medical process, but the Friday examinations remain the decisive step. If those are passed, the €45m deal can move forward. If they are not, United will have to wait before a player they have already put through intensive checks can be signed off.
