During the most recent summer transfer window, Manuel Ugarte transitioned from Paris Saint-Germain to Manchester United. The Red Devils shelled out a precise 50 million euros for the defensive midfielder.
So far, Ugarte has not lived up to the expectations at Old Trafford, raising questions about his future. While it seems likely that the 23-year-old will remain with the Red Devils for another season, should he be placed on the transfer list, he could potentially make a move to La Liga.
According to the latest updates from the Spanish website “Fichajes.net,” Atletico Madrid is showing significant interest in the 182 cm tall player. The Madrid-based club is reportedly prepared to make an offer for the Uruguayan, provided he receives permission to leave. At Atletico, Manuel Ugarte could fill the void left by Rodrigo De Paul, who is contemplating a change of scenery.
The Uruguayan would undoubtedly be a compelling option to step into the shoes of the more experienced Argentine. In the current season, Manuel Ugarte has appeared in 31 matches, scored 1 goal, and provided 1 assist.
His contract with Manchester United is valid until June 30, 2029. The reputable website “Transfermarkt” values the defensive midfielder at approximately 50 million euros.
