Fabrizio Romano on Ederson’s transfer to Man United falling through
“Let me just confirm to you what I’ve been telling you now for the last 24 hours. Ederson to Manchester United deal off,” Romano said.
“I know there have been different informations (sic), other people saying that it’s still not decided. It’s still not clear. We still have to wait. And again, I respect absolutely all of that, but Atlanta confirm again today that the player has been informed that he has to return to Atlanta. He’s not going to be signed by Manchester United. So that’s the position of the club.
“Atlanta ready to welcome back the player. Atlanta believe Ederson is absolutely okay and fit ready to play football on regular basis. So no issues about that one. I can also add to you that Ederson already left England and Ederson is ready now to go to holiday and then return to Atlanta. So that’s the stance of parties involved waiting for Manchester United stance.
