Éderson, Madrid's B option to strengthen the midfield
Real Madrid is already moving its pieces ahead of the next summer transfer market, and Éderson, the Brazilian midfielder from Atalanta, has emerged as a solid alternative to Martín Zubimendi, the main target to cover the generational transition in the White's midfield. As reported by the newspaper AS in today's edition, the Madrid club has initiated the first contacts to gauge the player's availability, who has excelled in Serie A under the command of Gian Piero Gasperini.

Éderson's performance (25 years old) in the match between Atalanta and Real Madrid in December left an indelible impression in the Bernabéu offices. His physical and tactical display was key to containing figures like Vinicius, Bellingham, and Valverde, putting him on the radar of Juni Calafat and his scouting team. However, Atalanta has made it clear that they will not facilitate his departure in January, although a different scenario could arise in the summer.
Competition in midfield
The interest in Éderson fits into the context of possible adjustments in the Merengue squad, especially with Aurelien Tchouameni on the transfer list for months. Although Zubimendi remains a priority thanks to his experience in LaLiga and his potential to fit into Madrid's nationalization policy, the sports management also considers alternative profiles, such as the Brazilian, to diversify options.
A high price
Éderson's contract with Atalanta until 2027 guarantees that any negotiation will be complex and costly. The Italian club already rejected offers exceeding 50 million euros in the last market, and projections estimate a potential transfer around 60 million. However, the positive reports supporting his performance justify the investment: with over 2,000 minutes played this season, two goals and an assist, the Brazilian is a key piece in Gasperini's scheme.
Other interested teams
Real Madrid will not be the only interested team in Éderson. Atlético de Madrid already tried to sign him last summer with an offer of 55 million euros, and other clubs like Manchester City and Manchester United also have him on their list of targets. In particular, City's interest could intensify due to the need to find a replacement for Rodri.
