An injury to Yoro and Rasmus Hojlund could now ‘accelerate’ plans Man Utd have to bring in another centre-back and striker before the end of the summer transfer window.
Man Utd are also keen to bring in another defensive midfielder over the next few weeks with PSG’s Ugarte and Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat their two top targets.
Ugarte is seemingly their top target with the size of PSG’s asking price believed to be the main thing putting Man Utd off with the French side wanting €60m (£51m) for the Uruguay international.
But a fresh report from French publication L’Equipe (via Sport Witness) claims that PSG have ‘collapsed demands’ for Ugarte and ‘will allow’ Man Utd ‘to sign midfielder on reasonable terms’.
PSG have softened their stance on a permanent transfer and are now open to a ‘paid loan with a high purchase option’ despite Ugarte only arriving from Sporting Lisbon a year ago for €60m.
The Ligue Un outfit ‘are now focused on moving Ugarte on’ with PSG on the verge of sealing a deal for Benfica midfielder Joao Neves this week.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed that former Man Utd target Neves is in Paris for his medical today as PSG look to get a deal over the line.
Romano wrote on X: “Joao Neves, in Paris today with medical tests booked as new Paris Saint-Germain player. Contract signing to follow after €60m plus €10m add-ons package deal agreed with Benfica.”
