Manchester United has reached an exciting agreement to bring Manuel Ugarte from Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) for a total of £50 million, including add-ons. The talented 23-year-old Uruguayan midfielder is set to make his debut against Liverpool at Old Trafford this Sunday, pending a successful medical examination. 🏟️⚽
Ugarte, who made 37 appearances for PSG last season with three assists, initially joined the French powerhouse from Sporting CP for €50 million. However, he expressed a strong desire to move on, leading to this blockbuster transfer. 💸
This deal pushes Manchester United's summer spending past £180 million. To balance the books, United has agreed to send Scott McTominay to Serie A club Napoli for £25 million. This strategic move showcases United's active approach in the transfer market as the window closes this Friday. 🤑📈
But that's not all! Manchester United is also in talks with Chelsea for a potential swap involving Jadon Sancho and Raheem Sterling. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has reportedly informed Sterling that he's surplus to requirements. Meanwhile, Sancho, who struggled to find his place under manager Erik ten Hag and had a brief stint at Borussia Dortmund, might be on the move as well. 🔄
Additionally, Juventus has shown interest in both Sterling and Sancho, but it seems United and Chelsea are having more serious discussions. This could lead to an intriguing exchange of talent as both clubs aim to optimize their squads for the upcoming season. 🏆✨
