Atalanta star Ederson is among several candidates touted for a move to Inter Milan amid talks Hakan Calhanoglu could leave San Siro.

Per Corriere della Sera via FCInter1908, the Brazilian midfielder ticks all the boxes for the type of player Oaktree Capital wants to recruit.

In addition to his rich Serie A experience, Ederson is 25 years old and offers a significant resale value.

Moreover, he is an established midfielder in Italy, making him a proven solution in case Hakan Calhanoglu departs for Galatasaray.

However, there’s a hurdle.

Ederson’s skills and experience come with a price, and it’s a hefty one.

Indeed, it would take at least €50 million to lure the ex-Salernitana ace away from the Gewiss Stadium.

Formerly linked with Liverpool, Ederson may command an even greater price tag.

Therefore, the question is – can Inter afford to sign the Brazil international?

Meanwhile, they keep Lazio’s Nicolo Rovella in high regard.

Yet, the Italian’s release clause is identical to Atalanta’s valuation of Ederson.
