Liverpool They are reportedly looking to step up their efforts to sign Atalanta star Ederson this summer, according to the Italian outlet. Tutto Atalanta.
Despite revamping the engine room last summer, the Reds apparently want to sign a new midfielder ahead of next season. Teun Koopmeiners has been mentioned as a serious target, but the Dutch club colleague also appears to be on his radar.
According to the report of Tutto AtalantaThe Merseyside club have monitored Koopmeiners closely this season, however, during the 26-year-old's scouting mission, Liverpool were also impressed by Ederson.
The report further claims that the Reds are now “concentrating” on securing a deal for the Brazilian and are already preparing to make an “assault”.
So, Tutto Atalanta claims that Juventus are also interested in Koopmeiners and considering that Liverpool are looking to focus on signing Ederson, they plan to accelerate their efforts to sign the former AZ Alkmaar star in the next transfer window.
Ederson to Liverpool
Ederson still has three years left on his current contract, so La Dea is in a strong position to demand a big fee to let their star man go and it was previously reported that they want a fee of around £51 million.
After moving to the Gewiss Stadium from Salernitana in 2022, the Brazilian has established himself as a key player in Gian Piero Gasperini's starting eleven, helping his team overcome more than six decades of trophy drought by winning the European League this season.
The 24-year-old is a strong and dynamic midfielder, but also technically sound. He has the ability to receive possession under pressure and play. In addition, the former Salernitana star is excellent in defensive contributions.
Therefore, he could be a successful signing for Liverpool if they acquire him. However, the Anfield club currently have a well-stocked midfield department, so they do not need to spend much to sign a new midfielder unless they decide to cash in on any of the current options.
However, it will be interesting to see if the Merseyside club ultimately opts to take a concrete approach to signing Ederson in the upcoming transfer window.
