Manchester United’s medical assessment for

Éderson

is still ongoing, with Sky Sports reporting the club hope to complete the signing within the coming days.

The update was relayed by UtdDistrict on Thursday evening, citing Sky Sports as the source. The post noted the medical is described as “thorough,” with the process yet to reach a conclusion that would allow United to formally announce the deal.

According to supplementary reports, a deal between the Reds and Atalanta had been agreed in principle, with

set to join as a midfield addition this summer. According to supplementary reporting, his involvement in Brazil’s World Cup campaign – with the Seleção eliminated in the round of 16 – meant United could only bring him to England for the full in-house assessment after the tournament concluded.

The prolonged timeline is noteworthy given

the deal had been widely reported as effectively done

in June. United’s medical team conducting additional checks at this stage suggests they are being meticulous, which is understandable given the club’s recent experience with injury-prone signings – signing a player with any lingering physical uncertainty for a significant fee carries real risk.

For context, the Reds have run similarly detailed processes for other summer arrivals, indicating that United are not inclined to rush these assessments regardless of how advanced the paperwork is.

According to Sky Sports, via UtdDistrict, United remain hopeful of wrapping up Éderson’s signing in the coming days. The outcome of the ongoing checks in England will determine whether the club proceed on the agreed terms or need to reassess their position.

Until those results are confirmed and processed, the announcement is on hold – completing the medical appears to be the primary remaining step before

can be confirmed as a

Manchester United

player.
