Now that the 2024 Copa América is over, the Manuel Ugarte file should be accelerating further as the Uruguayan is on Manchester United’s radar.
This month, Le10Sport reported that the English club have proposed €45 million plus bonuses, leading to internal discussions.
Furthermore, journalist Jamie Jackson revealed that manager Erik ten Hag is still interested in acquiring Ugarte to bolster their midfield. The report also noted that Manchester United values the player at £38 million, and a loan deal may be considered.
L’Equipe has revealed fresh details suggesting that Manchester United plan to make a renewed offer for Ugarte in the upcoming days.

A few days ago, journalist Ben Jacobs shared his information, revealing that while Manchester United and Bayern Munich have shown interest, their offers haven’t come close to PSG’s €60 million asking price for Ugarte.
Moreover, the Red Devils could be preparing for Plan B if they don’t want to pay what PSG are demanding for Ugarte. CaughtOffside recently reported that Manchester United have shown interest in Crystal Palace ace Adam Wharton.
It remains to be seen whether this interest signifies a backup plan for the club or if they will pursue targets like Ugarte or SL Benfica’s João Neves instead.
