Rumors about the collapse of Ederson‘s transfer to Manchester United circulated over the weekend after earlier reports suggested complications arose from a knee injury.
The 27-year-old midfielder underwent a comprehensive medical assessment following initial concerns highlighted during tests in the United States.

Ederson made the trip to England for further examinations, which were prompted by Brazil’s exit from the World Cup against Norway. The involvement of specialists has contributed to United’s decision to withdraw from the deal.
Nevertheless, sources indicate that the transfer could potentially be revived later in the summer, depending on how United’s transfer window unfolds; however, the club is unlikely to agree to the original terms.
While club officials express sympathy for the player, they maintain that their actions must prioritize the best interests of United.
It has also been emphasized that the interest in Chelsea for Andrey Santos was not influenced by the situation with Ederson.
