PSG and Man Utd Locked in Ugarte Tug-of-War
Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United are engaged in a tense battle over the transfer of midfielder Manuel Ugarte. Despite PSG’s insistence on their €60 million valuation, the Premier League club remains hopeful of securing a deal.
The transfer has been complicated by a power struggle between Manchester United’s part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and PSG president Nasser al-Khelaifi. Both parties are determined to have their way in the deal, leading to delays in negotiations.
While United have explored alternative options, such as Frenkie de Jong and Sander Berge, Ugarte remains their top priority. The midfielder’s pressing ability and ball-winning skills align perfectly with Erik ten Hag’s vision for the team.
With the transfer window nearing its close, it remains to be seen whether Manchester United can successfully navigate the challenges and secure Ugarte’s signature.
