If PSG is moving forward with the João Neves case, another midfielder is at the heart of the transfer window. Indeed, Manuel Ugarte is less and less certain of staying at the capital club after just one season. However, he made a very good start with Luis Enrique, just after his €60 million transfer from Sporting CP, before gradually falling out of the Spanish coach’s good books. As we told you in recent days, negotiations for a transfer to Manchester United are progressing.
Erik ten Hag appreciates his profile as an all-terrain mover, who does not count his efforts. The Premier League is a championship that could suit this very athletic player. The Uruguayan would have made up his mind to leave Paris, and would have even already agreed on an agreement with the Red Devils, according to information from the English press in recent days. The terms of a transfer still need to be agreed with PSG, who are still demanding €70 million. No easy task, even for the rich Premier League club.
Manchester United need money
The latter has just paid €62 million to bring in Leny Yoro from LOSC. The financial fair play rules of the English championship are starting to limit the scope of action of the Mancunians. In reality, to find the funds necessary for the arrival of Manuel Ugarte, they must sell, and if possible at the position of the Uruguayan international (21 caps) in order to make room for him. For the Daily Mailtwo names are put on the front burner to fill this role: Scott McTominay and Casemiro.
The first still has one year of contract (plus an optional year). The Scot is regularly mentioned for a departure but each year he stays, and even manages to make a place for himself in the squad. This transfer window still seems to be the right one for the 27-year-old player, courted by Fulham and Tottenham. MU hopes to recover at least €35 to €40 million. For the 32-year-old Brazilian, it is above all his salary that weighs heavily, in addition to being disappointing on the pitch despite his enormous track record. He is followed by Fenerbahçe and Saudi clubs. The Team reveals one last piece of information. In addition to Ugarte, the Red Devils are tempted by the arrival of Adrien Rabiot, free as a bird.
