Arsenal’s midfield move sparks Manchester United concern: Will they make a U-turn on Manuel Ugarte?
The summer transfer window is heating up, and Arsenal are making their mark. According to reports, the Gunners have held talks with one of Spain’s standout performers at Euro 2024, sending shockwaves through the football world.
Manchester United, who had agreed personal terms with the Uruguayan midfielder Manuel Ugarte, must now be worried. Ugarte has been linked with a move to PSG, and with Arsenal sniffing around, the Red Devils might have to reconsider their plans.
For months, Arsenal have been searching for the perfect central midfielder to complement Declan Rice. Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle has been on their radar, as has the highly-sought-after Joao Neves with a £105 million release clause. And now, Euro 2024 winners Martín Zubimendi, Mikel Merino, and Fabio Ruiz are also being considered.
The intrigue deepens as Arsenal have "initiated discussions" with Paris Saint-Germain for Ruiz, according to The Transfers Podcast. The deal hinges on whether the Gunners can sell one of their own midfielders. If PSG decides to part ways with Ruiz, Manchester United might find themselves in a predicament.
Ugarte was one of Europe’s most sought-after players last summer, impressing for Sporting CP. However, he has struggled to make an impact at PSG, raising questions about his suitability for the top tier of European football.
The stage is set for a thrilling summer transfer saga. Will Manchester United reassess their plans and opt for an alternative midfielder, or will they press on with their pursuit of Ugarte? Follow us on all social media platforms for more updates!
