Manchester United 'in talks' to sign Manuel Ugarte this summer
Manchester United They are reportedly 'in talks' with Paris Saint-Germain over a deal to sign Manuel Ugarte this summer, according to the transfer expert Fabricius Romano.
The Red Devils have already strengthened their forward line and defensive department with the acquisition of Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro respectively this summer.
However, it has been suggested that Erik the Hag He also wants a new midfielder next. CasemiroThe team did not perform very well last season. There have been a few names mentioned as possible for Old Trafford signings, such as Martin Zubimendi and Youssouf Fofana, but Ugarte seems to be the main option.
It was previously reported that the Red Devils had already reached a personal agreement with the player and now, writing in X, Roman has reported that after receiving the 'green light' from the player, Man Utd are 'in talks' with PSG to close the deal.
However, the journalist says that Ten Hag's side have yet to reach an agreement with the French giants and it will now be interesting to see if the two clubs can finally agree on a deal in principle in the coming days.
Ugarte to Manchester United
Roman He also said that Ugarte is not the only midfielder on the team. Premier league The champions are keen to make the signing as they are also in internal talks to bring Sofyan Amrabat back to the club following a season-long loan last season.
Romano wrote:
“Manchester United are continuing negotiations with PSG over Manuel Ugarte, after the player and PSG gave the green light last week and agreed personal terms. There is still no agreement between the clubs. Manchester United are also in talks to decide how to proceed with Fiorentina regarding new terms for Sofyan Amrabat.”
PSG would be demanding an amount of around £59 million to sell the Uruguayan and therefore it will be difficult for Man Utd to negotiate this deal unless Luis Enrique's team lowers their valuation.
Ugarte is a defensive midfielder who likes to play aggressively. He is fast, strong, can win possession under pressure and is also efficient at keeping possession.
The South American could therefore be a solid signing for Manchester United if they do sign him. However, it will be interesting to see if the record Premier League champions manage to ultimately secure his signature in this transfer window.
