Calciomercato have suggested that Tottenham are one of the two clubs at the front of the queue to sign Atalanta midfielder Ederson, with the Bergamo club’s asking price potentially proving a step too far for Juventus.

Ederson has come on leaps and bounds since moving to Atalanta in 2022 and he has emerged as one of the most consistent box-to-box midfielders in Serie A this campaign.

Over the last few months, it has been widely reported that Spurs are one of the clubs keeping an eye on the Brazilian’s performances (GiveMeSport).

In fact, Tutto Atalanta even suggested a few weeks ago that Ange Postecoglou’s men had already made some advances towards the 25-year-old ahead of the summer window.

Spurs and Newcastle boost in race for Ederson

CalcioMercato now reveal that Atalanta sent a clear message to suitors in January that they will not sell Ederson on the cheap and the club are continuing to stand by their word.

It is explained that Juventus have now also come forward with an interest in the midfielder but Gian Piero Gasperini’s men do not want to sell the player unless they receive an offer that they cannot refuse.

The outlet alleges that Atalanta have now made it clear that they will not even enter the negotiating table unless they receive a bid of around €35m (£30m).

Calcio Mercato say that this might be too much for Juve but is well within the means of Tottenham and Newcastle, with the Magpies and the Lilywhites now said to be ‘in the front row in the race’.

Spurs Web Opinion

There is no doubt that strengthening the middle of the park will be one of Postecoglou’s priorities in the summer, with Hojbjerg and Skipp likely to depart the club.

While there is seemingly a lot of excitement around Bergvall’s arrival, the Tottenham head coach will also likely want to add another more experienced, proven option to the squad.
