Hey football fans! 🏟️ Get ready for some exciting transfer news! Manchester United is making big moves this summer, and we've got the scoop just for you. 📰
Manchester United of the Premier League has agreed to acquire Manuel Ugarte from Ligue 1's Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) for £42 million (about $55.7 million), with an additional £8 million (about $10.6 million) in add-ons, according to ESPN reports on Tuesday.
The deal will be officially sealed once Ugarte passes his medical examination. The 23-year-old Uruguayan midfielder might even make his debut for the Red Devils against Liverpool at Old Trafford this Sunday! 🔥
Last season, Ugarte made 37 appearances for PSG, providing three assists. Despite joining the French giants for €50 million (about $55.9 million) from Sporting CP, he didn't feature in PSG's first two Ligue 1 games of the 2024-25 season.
Sources say Ugarte expressed his desire to leave PSG, and Manchester United is seizing the opportunity! 😎
With the summer transfer window closing on Friday, signing Ugarte brings United's spending to over £180 million (about $238.5 million). To fund the deal, the club has agreed to send Scott McTominay to Italian Serie A club Napoli for £25 million (about $33.1 million).
But that's not all! United is also in talks with Chelsea over a potential swap deal involving Jadon Sancho and Raheem Sterling, per ESPN. Chelsea's manager Enzo Maresca reportedly told Sterling that he's surplus to requirements. 👀
Sancho lost his spot under United manager Erik ten Hag last season. After a loan spell at Borussia Dortmund, he's looking for a fresh start.
Italian giants Juventus are reportedly interested in both Sterling and Sancho, but it seems United and Chelsea are deep in negotiations. Stay tuned for more updates! ⚽️✨
