Manchester United Close to Securing Key Transfers as Season Approaches

Manchester United is making significant strides in the transfer market, aiming to bolster their squad ahead of the new season. Notably, they are on the verge of signing Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), as reported by various media outlets.

Last month, it was exclusively revealed by GMS that Manchester United was interested in a loan deal with an obligation to purchase Ugarte, who is valued at £45 million. At that time, PSG was not under any pressure to sell the Uruguayan midfielder. However, the dynamics have shifted recently.

PSG’s imminent acquisition of Joao Neves from Benfica has altered the scenario. L’Equipe reports that the French champions are finalizing a €70 million deal for the Portuguese midfielder. This significant transfer has led PSG to reconsider their stance on Ugarte.

Now, PSG is open to loaning Ugarte to Manchester United with an option to make the transfer permanent. This marks a significant development, as the 23-year-old midfielder has already agreed in principle to join the Old Trafford outfit.

According to Manchester United Forever, all verbal agreements are in place, and Ugarte’s move to Manchester United is nearly finalized. The deal is expected to involve an initial loan with an obligation to buy, a setup that suits both clubs.

“Everything has been agreed verbally, and Ugarte is very close to moving to the Red Devils. A loan with an obligation to buy is the most likely option for both clubs. More details will emerge in the next few hours,” the report stated.

Ugarte, a promising talent at 23, has shown his capabilities as a defensive midfielder. He impressed during the Copa America, helping Uruguay secure a bronze medal. Despite his potential, he found himself playing second fiddle to Vitinha at PSG, making a move essential for his pursuit of regular first-team football.

Securing Ugarte could provide Manchester United with a long-term solution to their holding midfield issues, an area that has been problematic for the club in recent seasons. His arrival would strengthen the squad, offering more depth and quality in midfield.

As the transfer window progresses, Manchester United continues to work on strengthening key areas of their team. With Sir Jim Ratcliffe set to support these efforts, fans can expect more exciting developments before the league kicks off.
