Manchester United are on the verge of finalizing a €60 million deal to sign Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte.
The Uruguayan player has arrived in Manchester and is set to undergo a medical examination today, which will finalize his move to Old Trafford.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Ugarte arrived in Manchester overnight and is scheduled to undergo his medical today. Romano stated, “Manuel Ugarte, in Manchester as he landed overnight. Plan confirmed. Medical today.”
Gistreel Sport previously reported that Ugarte, 23, had prioritized a move to Manchester United despite interest from other clubs. The midfielder joined PSG from Sporting CP last year for a similar fee of €60 million but has struggled to secure regular playing time under manager Luis Enrique.
Although Ugarte initially showed promise, he has had difficulty adapting to Enrique’s possession-play system, leading to a reduced role in the squad.
