Despite an attractive start to the 2023-2024 season, where he established himself as an important starter in Luis Enrique’s squad, the Uruguayan midfielder gradually fell back in the hierarchy and lost his place over the months and the season.
At the beginning of the summer, Luis Enrique was clear. The Parisian number 4 is not in his plans. As a result, the former Sporting player is being pushed towards the exit. Nevertheless, Ugarte would be very close to finding a new place to stay.
In fact, according to the newspaper’s information The Parisian
is an agreement would be very close to being reached between PSG and Manchester United. The transfer could be completed around 60 million euros, which is the sum that the Parisian leaders have been demanding since the beginning of the saga.
Towards a loan with a compulsory purchase option?
There is no doubt about it. Manuel Ugarte should no longer be a Paris Saint-Germain player in the coming days. The Uruguayan international will, barring a turnaround, sign with the English club Manchester United.
The Red Devils’ leaders should afford the midfielder on loan with a mandatory purchase option. This would amount to around 60 million euros. Manuel Ugarte would strengthen Erik ten Hag’s midfield where the competition is strong with players like Casemiro or the new nugget of English football, namely Kobbie Mainoo.
