The player represents an accessible target due to his desire to move to Old Trafford and his refusal to renew his contract.
"Ederson is one of them," said Romano.
The club has placed several high-profile players on their target list to complete their central midfield overhaul.
"Ederson is one of the easiest options they have on this list, again because his contract is expiring and he's not going to sign a new deal despite it running until 2027," said Romano.
The Brazilian international has indicated a strong personal preference to finalize a move to the English side.
"And also because Ederson would be very keen on a move to Manchester United," said Romano.
The club continues to monitor multiple situations across Europe to fulfill its summer squad objectives.
"But at the moment, again, he's not the only one, and there are plenty of options," said Romano.
Tonali Also on United's Radar
In addition to the Ederson negotiations, Spanish reports state that Carrick has requested the signing of Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali, with United considering an 80 million euro fixed bid plus add-ons, while Newcastle values the Italian playmaker at 86 million pounds.
