Ederson's transfer to Manchester United has fallen through, according to insider Djameel. The Brazil international had agreed a five-year deal at Old Trafford.
What happened?
Manchester United had agreed a deal with Atalanta worth £38m including add-ons for Ederson, who is representing Brazil at the World Cup this summer.
The Red Devils had expected Ederson to complete a medical and formalities once the World Cup was over. However, the deal has now collapsed despite an agreement on all fronts.

What comes next?
Manchester United may have to pivot and find a way to bring in less midfielders for the same money, with the market demanding bigger fees. The club had been keen to add up to three midfielders to their squad this summer.
