PSG midfielder will join the Red Devils in the next 48 hours

Manchester United have reportedly reached an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain to sign Uruguayan midfielder Manuel Ugarte for a fee of €50 million (£42.29 million). The deal also includes potential add-ons of €10 million (£8.46 million), bringing the total possible value to €60 million (£50.75 million).

Ugarte himself practically confirmed the news with a tweet with curious eyes.

Ugarte, who joined PSG from Sporting Lisbon just a year ago for a reported €60 million, made 37 appearances for the French club, helping them secure their 12th Ligue 1 title. Now, he is poised to move to Old Trafford, with a medical potentially taking place later on Tuesday.

The transfer is closely linked to Manchester United’s negotiations to sell midfielder Scott McTominay to Napoli for €30 million (£25.37 million). The completion of Ugarte’s move to United is contingent on McTominay finalizing his switch to the Italian club, though there is optimism that both deals will go through.

As part of the agreement, PSG has secured a 10% sell-on clause for Ugarte, ensuring they receive a portion of any future transfer fee if Manchester United decides to sell the player down the line. Both clubs reportedly feel satisfied with the terms of the deal.
