Manchester United Close in on £51m Signing of Paris Saint-Germain’s Manuel Ugarte
London, UK – Manchester United are reportedly on the cusp of concluding a deal to sign Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte, according to international sports news outlet GFFN.
The 23-year-old Uruguayan midfielder is set to join the Red Devils in a deal worth around £51m (€60m), a significant financial outlay for the Premier League club. Interestingly, PSG acquired Ugarte from Sporting CP for a similar fee of €60m last summer.
Ugarte’s impressive display at the start of last season caught the eye of Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag, who believes the midfielder can make a significant impact at Old Trafford. In a surprising turn of events, the former Barcelona coach has left the midfielder out of PSG’s Ligue 1 opener against Le Havre, hinting at his pending departure.
The Ligue 1 champions have been holding out for a fee of around €60m all summer, and it appears their persistence has paid off. For Manchester United, the signing of Ugarte represents a significant coup, as the Portuguese midfielder is expected to bolster their midfield options.
As the transfer rumors continue to swirl, fans of the 20-time English champions will eagerly anticipate the official announcement of Ugarte’s move to Old Trafford.
