Manchester United Finalize Manuel Ugarte Transfer from PSG
Manchester United has reached a full agreement with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to secure the signing of midfielder Manuel Ugarte. This major transfer is set to bolster United's midfield options after a series of negotiations between the two clubs.
Details of the Transfer Deal
The initial fee for Ugarte is reported to be £42.2 million, which could rise to £50.7 million when performance-related add-ons are accounted for. Ugarte has been identified as the club's primary midfield target throughout the transfer window and is expected to arrive in the UK on Tuesday for a medical check-up and to finalize personal terms.
Negotiation Insights
PSG initially aimed for a figure of £51.1 million, reflecting the sum they paid Sporting Lisbon for Ugarte last summer, before bonuses. Despite some tension during negotiations, both clubs have found common ground, demonstrating the willingness of all involved parties to reach an agreement. Reports suggest that Manchester United are satisfied with the arrangement they have struck.
Ugarte’s Performance Record
Ugarte's performances last season solidified his reputation, as he emerged as a top midfielder in Ligue 1, leading the league in tackles with a record of 98 tackles, even though he only started 21 matches throughout the season.
Impact of Ugarte's Arrival on Manchester United
Ugarte's move to Old Trafford marks a significant transition for Manchester United, coming just one year after PSG acquired him. His arrival is expected to provide much-needed depth and strength in United’s midfield, aligning with manager Erik ten Hag’s tactical vision.
Scott McTominay on the Move
In a coinciding development, Scott McTominay is on the verge of finalizing his exit from Manchester United, with terms for a move to Napoli nearly concluded. The agreed deal is valued at £25.4 million, with personal terms also reportedly agreed in principle.
Summary of McTominay’s Situation
While United is reluctant to part ways with the midfielder, McTominay’s desire for regular first-team football and the profit margin from his sale makes this a strategic decision for the club. Once the exit terms are finalized, McTominay is expected to travel to Italy for a medical examination.
Conclusion
The arrivals and departures at Manchester United illustrate the club's ongoing commitment to building a competitive squad. With Ugarte joining and potential changes to the roster with McTominay’s exit, it will be intriguing to see how these factors influence United's strategies heading into the new season.
