Manchester United have taken another step closer to making PSG midfielder Manuel Ugarte their fifth major signing of the summer, with reports detailing why a player sale is no longer necessary to complete the move.
Manuel Ugarte is the player Man Utd have identified as the ideal long-term partner for Kobbie Mainoo in central midfield.
The PSG and Uruguay destroyer, 23, has agreed personal terms with the Red Devils over a five-year deal with a club option for a sixth season.
Ugarte is more than willing to join Man Utd despite their lack of Champions League football this season.
Renewed talks between Man Utd and PSG have taken place over the last week. Ugarte’s agent, Jorge Mendes, is at the heart of the discussions and all parties do want to see a deal finalised.
The hold up thus far has related to PSG refusing to lower their €60m/£51m asking price. That is the sum PSG paid to sign Ugarte from Sporting CP one year ago and the Ligue 1 giant hope to break even.
