Manchester United have agreed terms with Paris Saint-Germain to sign Uruguayan midfielder Manuel Ugarte. United will pay an initial fee of £42.2m, but the deal could be worth up to £50.7m (€60m) including performance bonuses. Ugarte, who has been the club’s top midfield target throughout the transfer window, is due in the UK on Tuesday 27 August to undergo a medical and sign on personal terms. PSG have opened negotiations by asking for the £51.1m (€60m) fee they paid Sporting Lisbon last summer before bonuses. United are believed to be happy with the deal they have reached. The Uruguayan will join United just a year after PSG paid Sporting Lisbon £51.1m for the player. Ugarte was not involved in the PSG squad for the Ligue 1 opener against Le Havre, which ended in a 4-1 win for the defending champions. The midfielder led the French top flight in tackles last season (98), despite starting just 21 games in the 2023/24 campaign.
