Manchester United has just concluded an important agreement with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
According to the deal, Man United will add Manuel Ugarte to its team for £42 million.
This is a vital addition to Erik ten Hag’s squad because it promises to strengthen the midfield options.
But besides the original fee for the player, PSG still expects an additional £8.46 million as a performance bonus.
However, Ugarte must meet the requirements of his new club before the successful transfer of this bonus.
Meanwhile, the player, who is only 23 years old, has been an attractive option for Man United throughout the summer transfer period.
This is mainly because of his performance as a midfielder for his country Uruguay.
Also, while in Paris, he featured in 37 matches under the supervision of manager Luis Enrique.
Beyond that, he has been a vital factor in his former club’s 12th Ligue 1 title.
However, for this transfer to be successful, Scott McTominay must first leave for Napoli.
This Scottish midfielder has been with Manchester since he was five but now looks ready to leave the club.
Moreover, the team has already placed a £30 million bid for the Serie A club.
They now have to wait for him to complete his medical in Italy.
Manchester United Takes Vital Step
Importantly, McTominay’s departure will create room for the entry of Ugarte, including the necessary finances for the club.
Besides, the step to let him go aligns with a vital financial strategy of Man United.
The team is looking to meet the requirements of the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability regulations.
These regulations typically request that clubs sell players who have stayed for a long time, especially those who started at a young age.
This is where McTominay falls in.
