Tottenham are considering making a move for Atalanta defensive midfielder Ederson this summer.
Pierre-Emile Højbjerg is expected to part ways with Tottenham ahead of next season after falling down the pecking order under Ange Postecoglou. The North London club do need to bring in a top-quality defensive midfielder to reinforce their squad and according to a report from GIVEMESPORT, Spurs are having internal discussions about making a move for the Atalanta star.
Ederson has gone from strength to strength since joining the Serie A outfit in the summer of 2022. While the debut season wasn’t that great, he did showcase his class last time out with consistent performances in the league as well as the Europa League which they ended up winning. While he still has three years left on his contract, the player is open to a move to a bigger club ahead of next season. Meanwhile, Atalanta are willing to sanction his departure if they receive a bid in the region of £45 million.
Liverpool are one of the Premier League clubs that want to incorporate the 25-year-old into their squad. But, they will face stiff competition from Postecoglou’s team. The North London club have discussed testing Atlanta’s resolve as they seek an alternative option to Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur.
Given Bentancur’s injury history and the fact that he just picked up a blow during the Copa America, it is quite understandable why the Australian manager wants another top defensive midfielder in his squad before the start of the 2024/25 season.
