Yeah hoping we're just wrapping up other deals right now. PSG look like they want to sell, Ugarte wants to move. Just a matter of us wanting him + price.
It seems like we do want him so not sure if the wait is just on terms or what.

This was from earlier
Feel like we're looking to wrap up the CB buy (De Ligt or Yoro) first and maybe finalize some outgoings before going in with an offer
I saw that but how reliable is plettigoal regarding united transfers I have no idea? Anything from Ornstein on our pursue on Ugarte thus far?
It’s only been a few days since Uruguay went out of Copa America, it’s no different to the De Ligt deal as that’s gone as cold as Ugarte as there’s been no credible news for a few days on either.
It’ll simply be the players having a few days to a week on holiday then we’ll sign a centre back whether it be Yoro or De Ligt and Ugarte, I think after a centre back and Ugarte I’d imagine we’ll have to start working on outgoings.
He was the first to break the Sabitzer to United news iirc
But that was a player from Bundesliga. Ugarte doesn’t play there and isn’t German so I don’t know how trustworthy he is outside of bundesliga.
He could be getting fed info from Vivell.
Didn't Ornstein suggest there is a divide in the United hierarchy about whether they should move for him
Phillpe Auclair (french football journalist) said similar. Ugarte is the backup option it seems for João Neves, who PSG also want from Benfica.
You can understand Utd taking their time over this. If PSG do pay the €100mil Benfica want, Utd could use that to drive down Ugarte price as PSG would need to balance the books.
Or PSG turn to another player and we go back in towards end of window to try again for João Neves at a lower price than €100mil. Regardless you can see why there is no rush. Also small matter of selling Casemiro and making a decision on Amrabat.

A loan deal with an option to buy would be ideal. I hope we sell Case anyhow and move for Ugarte soon
Someone needs to call the Saudis man. Everybody rinses them, it's our turn!
if we can sell Mason and Casemiro plus PSG gets Neves....Ugarte will be a done deal for sure
Great shout!
Running with the ball, Ugarte
He will tackle ‘em all Ugarte
Might even nick a goal, Ugarte
Baaaaaaaaby!
Well first part is nearly done apparently,still expecting Saudi clubs to come in Casemiro very soon

Just get it done already. The more it drags on the more paranoid I get that someone like Madrid will swoop in and sign him.
Surely that would open up the possibility of either keeping Amrabat too or bringing in more of a DLP type player. Would say Bruno backup but presume that's what Erik sees Mount doing instead
Don’t know anything about that but I hope that’s not the case because we must sign a top class DM and I know he’s not a world beater yet but he has the talent and if not him then who?
Need to get this done now. We need him the most.
If PSG has any logic in their transfer business they'd try to sell Ugarte first (if needed) so they don't look like beggars coming to the table.
Or make a deal depending on whether they can get Neves, so they still have Ugarte if they don't get him.
Mbappé being off their books must surely do something for their financials too.
This is where I've set up my camp this muppet season. All the others are nice and all but I really want this one to happen. Hoping the club moves some deadwood quickly and get this done before the start of the season.
Yeah the midfield is the most gaping issue for me, so naturally this potential transfer excites me the most.
Once we get a DM sorted, I think the pressure to help bolster the core of the team let's off.. can work on other signings without the usual panic bids because we take long to sort out our core signings for the season
I think we need at least 2 CM. ugarte and Rabiot can galvanise our midfield options
Definitely. One DM and one playmaker, if possible. Get rid of Casemiro, Eriksen and Co
I just hope we won't start the season with Casemiro alongside Mainoo...
What are our realistic alternatives for Ugarte if we can't get him?

Havent we been linked with Andre from Fluminense?
Feck every transfer window André comes up. No we have never ever been linked with him.
I think it’s McTominay out and this guy coming in with Casemiro staying put for another year. They’ll play together in midfield no doubt
Is he the new gaitan?
I'd be shocked if it isn't Casemiro who makes way for Ugarte, given that Scottie Mac is only 27 and just coming off the best year of his career. On the other hand, if we can land Ugarte on a loan with an option to buy then that will resolve everything for the next season.
We need to do our utmost to facilitate his exit this summer. He is checked out.
Plus his huge wages
Yeah IF we could facilitate loan with option/obligation to buy for him then opens up possibility of signing a midfield playmaker too
Casemiro has to make way given his salary and i think McT will be sold as well. My thinking was Ugarte would be purchased once Neves goes to PSG and I think Ashworth will make a move for Amrabat on loan again simply bc he likes him as a player
Believe we're waiting to complete the Greenwood deal (hopefully today) before we move to the next two buys, which will hopefully be DeLigt and Ugarte.
tend to agree....bloody hell what a start to the window that would be getting zirkzee, yoro, De Ligt and Ugarte
that Marseille money is probably most important to help balance the books as that is homegrown money
