The deal had been done on June 2 for €40.5m plus another €4.5m in add-ons.
It could not be completed because the player was in the United States with Brazil participating in the 2026 World Cup, so he only had initial medical tests there.
Ederson still unsure of future
The Premier League club wanted further medical tests to examine an issue, and after 48 hours of those scans, multiple sources today reported Manchester United had withdrawn from the deal.
Sky Sport Italia, Fabrizio Romano, Sportitalia and more all stated that Manchester United informed Atalanta they would not be going through with the transfer.
However, BBC Sport, Sky Sports Deutschland and others now suggest that a final decision has not yet been made.
The Italian media seemed confident that Ederson had no serious injury concern, instead assuming Manchester United had simply changed their minds in the last five weeks.
It is therefore possible that Manchester United simply want to renegotiate the terms of the deal, but Atalanta might not be willing to do that.
