Manchester United's move for Éderson remains pending as medical checks delay €45 million deal

A verbal agreement worth €40.5 million plus €4.5 million in bonuses is in place, but the transfer depends on a second round of medical assessments around July 10.

Fact Check
The Athletic (David Ornstein) confirms the precise financial structure cited in the claim: €40.5m fixed fee plus €4.5m in add-ons (up to €45m), personal terms agreed, and a medical expected in early July. A later July 8 Athletic article reaffirms the deal remained subject to a medical at an initial €40.5m plus bonuses. Multiple secondary/social sources (Fabrizio Romano reporting) confirm Éderson was set for a second medical in the UK, with the move pending/delayed around early-to-mid July 2026. The claim's specific July 10 second-medical detail is consistent with the reported timeline, though the exact date is drawn from social-media reporting rather than a single primary source.

Summary

Manchester United has verbally agreed a deal to sign Atalanta midfielder Éderson, but the transfer remains on hold pending further medical checks rather than having collapsed. The package is valued at €45 million, made up of €40.5 million guaranteed and €4.5 million in performance-related bonuses, and the 26-year-old Brazilian reportedly reached a verbal agreement with United in June 2026. A first round of intensive tests has already been completed, with a second assessment scheduled for around July 10 that is expected to determine whether the move proceeds. Éderson has been a key part of Atalanta's midfield since joining from Salernitana in 2022, and United sources have indicated the transfer will go ahead only if he passes the remaining examinations.
