Liverpool set to Make £60million Move for Manuel Ugarte
Liverpool are set to make a substantial investment in their midfield department, and they are said to be prepared to pay a staggering £60 million for Sporting Lisbon and Uruguay midfielder Manuel Ugarte.
This potential move comes after a number of top European clubs have shown interest in the talented player, who represented his nation at the World Cup in Qatar last year.
Liverpool, in particular, are in dire need of reinforcements in the midfield position as they bid farewell to key players James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain this summer. With the departure of these experienced midfielders, the Reds would remain determined to bolster their squad and maintain their competitive edge.
According to Le Parisien via ECHO, Liverpool is now ready to trigger the £60 million release clause in Ugarte’s Sporting contract. However, they face competition from Paris Saint-Germain, who are also showing interest in securing the services of the talented Uruguayan midfielder. Only time will tell which club will win the race for his signature.
Ugarte to the Reds is a real possibility
Manuel Ugarte has 47 appearances for his club across all competitions this season. Liverpool’s interest in the midfielder is further justified by his impressive performances for both club and country.
Should the deal go through, Ugarte would obviously add significant depth and quality to Liverpool’s midfield, enhancing their chances of success in domestic and European competitions.
Known for his technical skills, vision, and ability to dictate play, Ugarte would certainly provide a valuable presence in the center of the park.
The transfer window promises to be an exciting time for Liverpool fans, as they eagerly await news of the potential acquisition of this highly-rated midfielder and hopefully, other players as well.
