Liverpool are among several English sides that have shown interest in Atalanta midfielder Ederson, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport.

The 24-year-old joined Atalanta from Salernitana in the summer of 2022 and has impressed ever since.

He has attracted the attention of Liverpool alongside Manchester United and Newcastle.

Newcastle have sent their chief scout to Bergamo recently to monitor the Brazilian up close.

However, Atalanta will not allow Ederson to leave for less than €40 million, and are believed to be keen on keeping him until the end of the season at the very least.

The midifielder has six goals and one assist in 27 appearances for the Italian team across all competitions this season.
