PSG Budge: Man Utd Make Major Breakthrough In Their Pursuit For Manuel Ugarte
Manchester United have begun their search to strengthen in midfield after addressing two key positions within their squad as more additions could be dependent on player sales.
The man heavily linked with filling that void is Manuel Ugarte. All had gone somewhat quiet on that front over the last week or so.
It seems as though the Reds have been unwilling to bow down to PSG’s demands for the Uruguay international. Seemingly, that has forced the Ligue 1 club into altering their demands.
French sources believes that PSG are now open to letting Ugarte leave on loan, with an option to buy for a lucrative transfer fee, as they look to recoup as much money as possible for the 23-year-old.
PSG only signed Ugarte last summer in a deal worth around £50m, though it seems they’re ready to move on from the holding midfielder, making way for the French side to acquire Joao Neves from Benfica.
Manchester United are now in concrete negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain to find a deal term that’s acceptable for all the parties involved in the deal.
Bringing in Ugarte on loan could help with Premier League spending rules this summer, while United would be adding a player with genuine quality. However, it’d eat into next summer’s budget if they chose to sign Ugarte permanently.
