Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte might be on the move this summer, with rumors linking him to several European clubs, including a notable interest from Manchester United.
This month, Le10Sport reported that the English side sent a proposal of €45 million plus several bonuses, which has prompted internal discussions. Moreover, the outlet notes that manager Luis Enrique is now in charge of the decision regarding Ugarte.
Enrique can either veto the move and ask the management to reject all offers or allow Ugarte to leave and rebuild his midfield without him. Furthermore, if the Parisians are going to sell the Uruguayan they want a club to meet their asking price.
According to journalist Ben Jacobs, PSG are genuinely interested in João Neves, though they don’t intend to activate his €120 million release clause. Instead, they’re looking to offer Benfica around €75 million.
Neves is the club’s top priority, which is why Manuel Ugarte might be available for the right price. While Manchester United and Bayern Munich have shown interest, their offers haven’t come close to PSG’s €60 million asking price for Ugarte.
PSG are serious about João Neves but have no plans to trigger his €120m release clause. They are prepared to pay Benfica around €75m.🇵🇹
Neves is a priority target, and one reason why Manuel Ugarte could leave for the right price. PSG have had approaches from Manchester United… https://t.co/YsyfczrxoL

With Uruguay finishing third in the 2024 Copa América, Ugarte’s future should be more transparent about whether he stays with PSG or heads elsewhere this summer.
