Éderson
ATA
Extends contract with Atalanta
Ederson has agreed to a five-year deal with Atalanta and is now signed through 2031.
Analysis: Ederson was reportedly on his way out earlier in the summer, as his previous contract was slated to expire in a year, and took the medicals with Manchester United, which, however, elected not to finalize the transfer. Atalanta consider him fully healthy and reeled him in afterward, ensuring he'll remain a linchpin of their midfield. He'll likely have more freedom to attack next season in a new system. He made just two appearances off the bench in the World Cup, notching two off-target shots, two crosses (zero accurate) and one interception.
Called up for World Cup
Ederson has been called up for the 2026 World Cup with Brazil, according to Bruno Cassucci of Globo.com.
Analysis: Ederson is joining the Brazilian national team as they pursue World Cup glory, as the midfielder has been called up for the World Cup. He replaces Wesley after an injury to his thigh, adding more competition in the midfield. He will likely be added as a rotational option, serving behind starters like Casemiro, Bruno Guimaraes and Lucas Paqueta. However, this is still a major move for the midfielder, who is likely to join Manchester United following the tournament, as he could find more time than expected in a more defensive role.
Scores and assists versus Milan
Ederson scored one goal and assisted once from one shot (one on target), two chances created and two tackles (both won) in Sunday's 3-2 victory versus AC Milan.
Analysis: Ederson had his best offensive display of the season, breaking the deadlock with a precise strike in the bottom corner and feeding Giacomo Raspadori in the box later on. He had scored once and assisted twice in the entire campaign before this match. He has notched at least one shot in four straight matches, amassing seven (six won) and adding six shots (three on target), four key passes and four clearances over that span.
Draws four fouls in Genoa bout
Ederson won one of two tackles and had two shots (one on goal), two clearances and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Genoa.
Analysis: Ederson was rather energetic and put together a well-rounded display, but didn't stand out in any particular area. He has registered at least one tackle in three straight fixtures, piling up five (four won) and adding five shots (two on target), two interceptions and three clearances over that span. Instead, he ended a four-game streak with one or more chances created in this one.
