Manchester United is reportedly close to finalizing a €45 million midfield transfer, pushing back against speculative rumors from Brazil suggesting the deal is in jeopardy.
Recent reports had linked Manchester United with a potential £50 million move for Chelsea's Andrey Santos, fueling talk of a midfield overhaul at Old Trafford, especially following the supposed acquisition of Ederson from Atalanta. However, the Ederson transfer, despite an agreed €45 million fee and the player's apparent desire for the move, remains unconfirmed and has not yet included a medical examination.
This lack of official confirmation has sparked speculation, with some Brazilian media outlets circulating "scare stories" about the deal's potential collapse. Nevertheless, sources cited by TeamTalk suggest these concerns are unfounded, indicating that "all will be confirmed in due course" and the move is "very much in place and still on," with the delay attributed solely to logistical matters.
It appears Manchester United is gearing up to welcome both Santos and Ederson this summer, aiming to strengthen their midfield with Brazilian talent for the upcoming season. The club may also pursue further signings to bolster the squad.
