Atlético want to reinforce midfield with Atalanta player interested in Premier League clubs

Throughout the winter transfer window, Atlético head coach Diego Simeone asked the club bosses to strengthen the midfield. They managed to sign young Arthur Vermeeren, but the Los Colchoneros boss wants to rely on a more experienced player.

Thus, El Cholo already has a few midfielders he would like to get. Earlier we reported about the interest in Celtic's Matt O'Riley, there is interest in Feyenoord's Mats Wieffer, and Marca added Atalanta midfielder Ederson to the list of candidates.

But the Los Colchoneros still have to fight for the 24-year-old Brazilian, as Premier League clubs, such as Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, Newcastle and Italian Juventus are still in the running for him.

Ederson has played 36 games for Atalanta this season, in which he has scored six goals and given one assist. Transfermarkt values him at 30 million euros.
