The Brazil national team camp saw a dramatic change right in the middle of the World Cup.
Details: According to Fabrizio Romano, Selecao head coach Carlo Ancelotti has officially decided to call up Atalanta midfielder Ederson—who is reportedly on the verge of joining Manchester United—to urgently replace Roma's injured midfielder Wesley.
After a stellar club season in Serie A, the Brazilian midfielder has earned this unexpected chance and is flying out immediately to join the national team, aiming to help his country in crucial battles on the world stage.
For Ederson himself, this call-up to the planet's biggest tournament marks the peak of an incredible career surge that is set to continue at club level. According to Romano, the Brazilian will officially sign and become Manchester United's latest star player as early as July, with the English club having won the race for the talented midfielder.
It's worth noting that this season, the Brazilian midfielder played 41 matches across all competitions for the Italian club, scoring 3 goals and providing 2 assists.
Reminder: Former Manchester United player Robin van Persie has been dismissed from Dutch side Feyenoord.
