According to sources, Liverpool is prepared to steal the deal from Manchester United in order to sign Manuel Ugarte from PSG for £50 million. Last season, the Reds attempted to entice the defensive midfielder, but he ultimately decided to leave Sporting CP and sign with Paris Saint-Germain.
Liverpool is reportedly “ready to gatecrash” the Old Trafford team in order to recruit Ugarte this summer, according to TEAMtalk. Arne Slot thinks the Merseysiders failed to properly replace Fabinho, according to the news source. Thus, it is best to sign a top playbreaker.
According to GMS, Ugarte can be enticed for a sum of £50 million, as his present contract in Paris expires in 2028. PSG advanced to the Champions League semifinals the previous season, despite the 23-year-old’s lack of game starts throughout the competition’s knockout stages. Based on reports, Man Utd appears to be very close to signing the Uruguayan, who wants out.

While closely monitoring the Premier League’s new Financial Fair Play restrictions, Sir Jim Ratcliffe is acting decisively at Old Trafford in an effort to revitalize Manchester United’s team. As United looks to add several new players to strengthen their roster, this cautious financial management is essential.
They previously made an initial approach to show their interest in Ugarte, but PSG rejected it. However, United could not be in complete control, as Liverpool has recently been mentioned as a possible destination for the South American as well.
