Agent in Manchester for Man Utd talks on Ugarte's transfer

Despite ongoing talks, a deal between United and PSG stalled over a valuation disagreement, with PSG holding firm on a £51 million price tag for the midfielder.

Manchester United, unwilling to meet the French club’s demands, has been exploring alternative midfield options, including Sander Berge and Youssouf Fofana.

However, Mendes is now in the UK to try to resolve the impasse and secure the transfer for his client. According to Romano on his X account on Tuesday, Mendes is actively working to break the deadlock between the two clubs.

Romano said, “Jorge Mendes, in England to discuss João Félix with Chelsea… and Manuel Ugarte with Man United.”

Paris Saint-Germain expects Ugarte to leave before the transfer window closes, and personal terms between the player and Manchester United have already been agreed. If the clubs can reach a financial agreement, the transfer is likely to proceed.
