Juventus is not the only club interested in Atalanta`s Brazilian midfielder Ederson. The Turin-based team is considering proposing a swap deal involving Nico Gonzalez and potentially other players to secure the talented midfielder`s services.
Inter Milan had previously shown interest in Ederson as a potential replacement for Hakan Calhanoglu, who may be moving to Galatasaray. However, Juventus is now stepping up their efforts to acquire the Brazilian international.
Juventus` Strategy for Acquiring Ederson
According to reports, Juventus hopes to reduce the estimated €50-60 million price tag for Ederson by including player exchanges in the deal. The primary player that could entice Atalanta is Nico Gonzalez, who has struggled to make an impact under new coach Igor Tudor.
Other potential candidates for the swap deal include Timothy Weah and Samuel Mbangula. Both players were initially set to join Nottingham Forest, but the transfers fell through when they declined the move.
This proposed swap deal demonstrates Juventus` determination to strengthen their midfield and their willingness to be creative in the transfer market. It remains to be seen whether Atalanta will be receptive to this approach or if other clubs will join the race for Ederson`s signature.
