As exclusively revealed by Sports Zone, Ederson is close to finalizing terms for a move to Liverpool.
The Merseysiders tracked the Brazilian star throughout the last season and are now on the brink of securing a deal to bring him to Anfield.
So far, the six-time European champions have not made an official offer to Atalanta, but it could come in the next few weeks.
However, South American journalist Jorge Nicola claims that Liverpool have already made a £38 million (45 million euros) bid for Ederson.
Recent Italian media reports suggest this offer might not be sufficient, as the Bergamo club values the midfielder at around £46.8 million (55 million euros).
Ederson was outstanding at Anfield in Atalanta’s 3-0 win over Liverpool in the Europa League quarterfinals.
La Dea eventually went on to lift the trophy, with the 24-year-old excelling in the defensive midfield role in the final against Leverkusen.
Xabi Alonso’s team lost the match 3-0, marking their only defeat of the season and just the second game in which they failed to score.
