Manchester United are now expected to press on with the second part of the medical for Ederson after Brazil’s exit from the 2026 World Cup, with two reliable journalists confirming that a deal is in place for the

Atalanta

star to move to Old Trafford.

Man Utd agreed a deal with Atalanta for Ederson Silva

long before the 2026 World Cup started.

Ederson was expected to be a

Man Utd

player by now, but a late call-up to the Brazil squad put a pause on the transfer.

Brazil, though, are now out of the World Cup

, with Carlo Ancelotti’s side suffering a shock 2-0 defeat to Norway in the last 16.

Now that the 2026 World Cup is over for Ederson, Man Utd are now expected to accelerate the €45million (£38.5m) deal for the

star.

There have been wild rumours lately that the deal for Ederson to join Man Utd is off, but transfer guru

Romano

has dismissed the claim.

Romano said about Ederson and Man Utd on his

YouTube channel

: “He did a very basic medical with

Manchester United

, a first part, but the real medical, the second part, must be checked after the World Cup in England, and that’s why

have not announced yet the Ederson deal.

“So, at the moment, still waiting on that second part of medical.

“So, it means that

want to make extra checks, and then

want to be 100% sure before signing off a deal that they verbally agreed but is still expensive – €40-45million (up to (£38.5m), add-ons included, so this is the Ederson situation.”

Another reliable journalist, Ben Jacobs, has added that Man Utd’s “plan” has always been to carry out Ederson’s medical after the World Cup, and that remains the case.

Jacobs posted on

at 10:09pm on July 5: “Manchester United’s plan has always been to carry out Ederson’s medical after the World Cup.

“Even before he was called up, #MUFC planned to formalise the transfer in July.

“United sources deny the deal is off despite reports in Brazil. Ederson still set to join, subject to passing the medical.”

The Manchester Evening News’ Chief

correspondent, Tyrone Marshall, has also reported that there is no problem at all regarding Ederson and the Red Devils.

Marshall wrote on

at 8:22pm on July 5: “Ederson to

is still ON. Deal fully agreed with

for £35m fee + £3.8m in add-ons.

“Personal terms agreed for four-year deal and one-year option. Medical will take place once Brazil are out of the World Cup.”

According to

TEAMtalk

, the second part of the medical will be held in the coming days.

The reliable transfer news outlet has reported that Ederson is ‘expected to travel to England this week to undergo his medical after Brazil’s World Cup campaign came to an end’.
