Manchester United have completed their £48m purchase of Andrey Santos from Chelsea and are closing in on the surprise signing of Aston Villa’s Youri Tielemans after a move for Ederson was put on hold.
United are set to activate a release clause and to get the Belgium captain for around £35m, in a blow to Unai Emery.
Tielemans will become the second addition in Michael Carrick’s summer midfield overhaul, with Santos’ arrival formalised and the 22-year-old putting pen to paper on a five-year contract.
United had been set to sign Brazil international Ederson from Atalanta for £35m, agreeing a fee with the Serie A club and with the intention of conducting a medical and completing the transfer in July.
Ederson was then a late call-up to Brazil’s World Cup squad and a medical was arranged in the United States which indicated an issue.
