Newcastle United are reportedly eyeing a move for Atalanta midfielder Ederson after Manchester United's proposed deal for the Brazilian collapsed, according to EPL Index.
The Magpies are said to be exploring the possibility of bringing the 25-year-old to St James' Park as part of a broader midfield rebuild, with Eddie Howe keen to add fresh energy and quality to his engine room.
Ederson had appeared close to a switch to Old Trafford before United's interest fell away, leaving the door open for other suitors to swoop. Newcastle are understood to see the opportunity as a smart piece of business, given his profile and the fact he's already proven himself in a top European league.
Nothing is confirmed at this stage, and any deal would likely hinge on Atalanta's valuation and Newcastle's ability to negotiate terms. But with Manchester United out of the picture, the path could be clearer for Howe's side to push for a deal in the coming weeks.
