Man United and PSG are reportedly close to reaching an agreement for the transfer fee of Manuel Ugarte as the Premier League club is still looking for the midfielder.
The Manchester club have been on the lookout for a new midfielder all summer and Ugarte is a player they have identified as a player they are looking forward to. The Red Devils have already agreed personal terms with the Uruguayan star but have yet to finalize a transfer fee from PSG.
Club-club talks have been ongoing for the past few weeks and according to Uruguayan outlet El Pais, the two are close to a deal as the French club are willing to lower their demands.
Ugarte is keen on a move to Old Trafford and would love to wear the red shirt of Man United for the 2024/25 campaign and beyond.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the midfielder's agent, Jorge Mendes, is in England to discuss Ugarte's move to United. A transfer expert says PSG need to lower their asking price to make it happen or the Manchester club need to sell another player.
Why are Man United desperate to sign Manuel Ugarte from PSG?
Erik ten Hag is looking to add another midfielder to his squad having seen Casemiro struggle at Old Trafford last season. The Brazilian has moved on and if the Manchester club are to compete in the 2024/25 campaign, they will need to bring in a young player in the middle of the park.
Ugarte ticks many of the boxes that the Man United manager is looking for but having signed for PSG last summer, it will be difficult to get over the line.
The coming days could be key to the Uruguayan's move to the Premier League as the Ligue 1 champions still control the future of the player who has a contract at the Parc des Princes until 2028.
