According to The Chronicle’s Lee Ryder, Newcastle United are in the ‘box seat’ to sign Atalanta’s Ederson this summr after talks with the Serie A side in January.
He reports that head of recruitment Steve Nickson has recently spent time pushing for the Brazilian midfielder, holding discussions with the Bergamo club earlier this year in a bid to give Newcastle the upper hand this summer.
Ryder states that we are aware of Atalanta’s demands and the sort of his salary demands, with the 24-year-old one of the top-performing midfielders in Italy this season after some all-action displays and six goals.
Interestingly, the same piece claims that another tough-tackling Brazilian – Vinicious Souza – has been offered to Newcastle ahead of the summer window.
Sheffield United paid £12m to sign the South American last summer and is expected to move on if and when the Blades are relegated. He is represented by the same agency that look after Bruno Guimaraes – Bertolucci Sports – who have ‘good links’ with Nickson after he negotiated a deal for the former Lyon star.
