Man Utd’s Move for Ugarte Hinges on Midfield Ace’s Potential Transfer to Napoli, Romano Reports | OneFootball

It does appear that Manuel Ugarte is nearing a move to Manchester United as the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder awaits the green light to travel. Moreover, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reveals that this move hinges on one departure.

L’Equipe delivered details this week on the Ugarte file. According to the French media outlet, negotiations between PSG and Manchester United for a loan deal with a €60 million obligation to buy for Ugarte are nearing a successful conclusion.

On Saturday, Romano noted that the agreement is in its “final steps.” Furthermore, more information from Romano emerged on Sunday, revealing that Manchester United are close to sealing a permanent deal for Ugarte.

Additionally, the final details hinge on Scott McTominay’s transfer to Napoli going through smoothly, per Romano. As the summer transfer window enters its final week, this transfer saga appears to have an ending that satisfies all parties.

The PSG midfielder made 37 appearances across all competitions for the reigning Ligue 1 champions last season and recorded three assists.

Ugarte began the first half of the campaign in impressive fashion, but his minutes fell off in the second half as he was used more as a rotational player rather than a starter.
