The 24-year-old has made 25 starts and two substitute appearances in Serie A this season, scoring five goals and providing one assist in those games.

The Brazilian has also made six starts and one substitute appearance for Atalanta this season, scoring one goal in the process. Ederson has also played twice in the Coppa Italia. Atalanta are sixth in the Serie A table at the moment with 47 points from 28 matches, seven points behind fourth-placed Bologna.
