Last week, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that Manchester United and Manuel Ugarte have reached an agreement on personal terms, marking the first steps towards his move to Old Trafford.
Romano mentioned that all the contract details have been finalized, and the player is thrilled to join Manchester United despite the team not being in the UEFA Champions League.
The two sides will have to keep discussing a potential transfer fee and the Parisians are holding firm regarding how much they want for Ugarte. L’Equipe recently mentioned that the capital club is asking for €70 million for Ugarte.
Moreover, journalist Ben Jacobs also 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.
While the two clubs attempt to reach a transfer fee agreement, WhoScored.com published a stat that suggests what type of player the Premier League club could be getting to bolster its midfield.
According to the statistical media outlet, Ugarte made tackles more often than any other player in Ligue 1 last season, averaging one every 19.7 minutes.

Romano notes that this transfer saga won’t be resolved today or tomorrow. The situation will need to wait a few days to see how things develop between Manchester United and PSG.
