Atalanta midfielder Ederson says he is “curious” about the Premier League amid reports of transfer interest from Liverpool.
Ederson impressed as Atalanta secured a top four place in Serie A and won the Europa League in 2023-24, beating Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 in the last final to win their first major trophy in 61 years.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s side eliminated Liverpool in the quarter-finals and secured a 3-0 victory at Anfield in the first leg, with Ederson being one of the team’s standout players on the road to Europa League success. The defensive midfielder has been linked with Liverpool in recent weeks as the Arne Slot era prepares to begin on Merseyside, and has opened up about his future.
Ederson said he is happy at Atalanta and focused on Brazil’s Copa América campaign after securing a place in the squad for the tournament, but admitted the Premier League is a competition that interests him amid speculation about his future at Bergamo.
“I’m happy at Atalanta, my focus is now on Brazil,” said Ederson Diaro AS.
“I like Italy, but I’m also curious about the Premier League. The only possibility of leaving is if Atalanta receives a proposal and then… they decide, it’s up to Atalanta.”
The 24-year-old, who was linked to Juventus, Spurs and Newcastle in January, is valued at around €35 million at Atalanta.
