Man United eyeing £35m transfer, ‘concrete discussions could begin’ next month

Manchester United midfielder Manuel Ugarte has been linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season.

The 24-year-old does not have a future at Old Trafford, and Manchester United are looking to cash in on him. They are hoping to recoup £35 million for the Uruguay International.

Manchester United need to invest in a quality defensive midfielder with Casemiro leaving the club in the summer. Selling Ugarte will bring in the necessary funds to improve the team. According to Sky journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Juventus are interested in providing the player with an exit route. They will also face competition from Premier League clubs Newcastle and Aston Villa.

Tavolieri explained on Sky: “Juventus are closely monitoring the situation and believe that qualifying for the UEFA Champions League would significantly boost their chances of completing the transfer. United value their player at around £35 million, and concrete discussions could begin as early as May or June, particularly regarding the structure of the transfer. But the Old Lady is not alone: ​​Newcastle, Aston Villa and other clubs are also monitoring the situation.”

The South American midfielder has not been able to adapt to Premier League football and the opportunity to leave England could be exciting for him. Juventus among the biggest clubs in the world and I moved to Italy, Italy could be ideal for him. The lower intensity of Italian football could be a good fit for the player. It could help him rediscover himself and regain his form and confidence.

Newcastle and Aston Villa have ambitious projects as well, and it remains to be seen whether they can promise regular gametime. With the right assurance, they might be able to convince the midfielder to join the club.
