The journalist reiterates that Liverpool have not made a bid to sign Ederson yet, and no active discussions are taking place at this point. He further claims that only time will tell if the Reds add him to their priority transfer list and that it’s still“too early” for them to make any decisions. Liverpool are poised to lose Thiago Alcantara this summer after his contract expires, giving them enough incentive to sign a new vibrant midfielder to add more depth to their midfield line.
What Has Ederson Said About Liverpool Links?
The 24-year-old midfielder was actually recently asked about seeing himself be linked to a potential summer transfer to Anfield. He replied: “I don’t know, I’ve thought about it a lot, I like Italy, I’m well adapted, but I’m curious about the Premier League, so I don’t know. I’m still growing, so I don’t know if I’ll stay in Italy, I think I still have more to prove. If I go somewhere else, then too. I will continue to grow.”

Ederson enjoyed an impressive 2023/24 season with Atalanta and was part of their UEFA Europa League winning squad too. He scored seven goals in 53 appearances across all competitions and was hailed for producing some “sensational“performances too. The Brazilian is an attack-minded, proactive midfielder who loves pressing the opposition players and winning back possession, which could make him an ideal fit for the new era at Liverpool under Slot.
