English Premier League side Manchester United are believed to be closer than ever to signing Uruguay international Manuel Ugarte
However a deal had stalled over the valuation of the player with PSG holding out for €60million, which saw the Reds begin to explore alternative targets including Sander Berge and Youssouf Fofana.
The Red Devils have been chasing a deal to sign the Uruguay international all summer, having made him their priority midfield target at the start of the transfer window.
Reports in recent days had emerged that the two clubs were in talks over a move for the 23-year-old, with a loan move that had an obligation to buy clause also being involved to get around the high asking price.
But according to French outlet Le Parisien, the two clubs are closing in on an agreement worth £51million on a dry transfer that would see the deal go through immediately.
Ugarte has been pushing for a move to Old Trafford according to Fabrizio Romano and only wants a move to become part of Erik Ten Hag’s side, having found himself left out of the PSG squad by manager Luis Enrique in recent times.
Final details for the deal are being finalised between the clubs and there is confidence from all parties that a deal will be completed before the end of the transfer window.
