Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly optimistic about reaching a deal for midfielder Manuel Ugarte before the transfer deadline. Sources have revealed that negotiations are ongoing, with United hoping to come to an agreement, whether it be through an immediate transfer or an initial loan with an obligation or option to make the move permanent in the future.
Despite PSG’s £50 million valuation of the Uruguayan international, United remains hopeful that a compromise can be reached. There is a belief that PSG may need to lower their demands as the transfer deadline of August 30 approaches. Both clubs have shown a willingness to negotiate, keeping communication lines open throughout the summer.
United is actively looking to secure departures for more squad players to provide greater flexibility in negotiations for Ugarte. The club has already raised approximately £60 million through the exits of several players, with more expected to leave in the coming days. This includes the potential departures of Victor Lindelöf and Jadon Sancho, among others.
Meanwhile, Napoli has shown interest in United midfielder Scott McTominay. The Scottish international is reportedly considering a move to the Italian club if an agreement can be reached on the fee. United, while not forcing McTominay out, is open to listening to realistic offers for the player. McTominay, who was named as a substitute in the first game of the season, is weighing his options for regular playing time.
Both Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are hopeful about finalizing a deal for Manuel Ugarte before the transfer deadline. Negotiations are ongoing, with United looking to secure departures to strengthen their position. Additionally, Scott McTominay’s potential move to Napoli adds another layer of intrigue to United’s transfer dealings this summer.
