After he helped his club team to win the Europa League, Ederson will now play at Copa America.

"My future? I don't know if I will stay in Italy. The focus is on Brazil,” he told AS

“It always happens when the market opens that all the speculation comes, but not only about my future, but also for many players.

“When I received my call, I told my wife and my agents: “Look, now I'm going to the national team, so you have to deal with what comes and what doesn't come.

“Now I'm going to focus on the national team, it's my first call-up, so I have to be one hundred percent with my head there. And then I will think about my future.

“I am very happy at Atalanta. I just won a great title, I am very well integrated. My future is something that doesn't worry me. What worries me right now is doing well here with the Brazilian team, leaving a positive impression because it is my first call-up.

“Making sure everyone knows me here just like everyone knows me in Italy. I am very focused, very happy, trying to make the most of this moment with the national team.

“I am not used to following this whole world of transfers. Rumors are one thing that, as my wife and I often say, will always pass. We are calm, happy, we enjoy the moment.

“If there has to be some kind of change, I trust my agents. I have an agent who has been with me for over 13 years, so the moment he thinks something positive is going to happen, he will tell me and we are in contact about that.

“We talked a lot about taking advantage of the moment, and right now I'm doing very well at Atalanta. I don't think it's those speculations that should distract me.

“If an offer comes, Atalanta will decide. If something comes up about a transfer, the club has to accept it first, and that is the most important thing.

“I have a good relationship with Atalanta, so the moment they come and tell me that they have some kind of offer, that will be when the talks start.

“At the moment, I am an Atalanta player and I am still an Atalanta player. When my time with the national team ends, I will also enjoy a short vacation, which is important to rest, and then I will return to Italy.”
