Juve move for Ugarte and United has set the price

Juventus are reportedly preparing a move to strengthen their midfield, with fresh links emerging to Manchester United’s Uruguayan international Manuel Ugarte.

According to a report cited by CaughtOffside, the 2001-born midfielder could be open to leaving England after struggling to fully settle at Old Trafford.

Juventus Monitoring Ugarte Situation

The Italian giants have been keeping a close eye on Ugarte’s situation at Manchester United, where his performances have yet to reach the level many expected when he first arrived.

Despite his undeniable talent and reputation as a dynamic ball-winning midfielder, adapting to the pace and tactical demands of the Premier League has proven challenging.

This has opened the door for Juventus, who are eager to reinforce their midfield options ahead of the upcoming season. Ugarte’s profile—young, energetic, and tactically disciplined—fits well within the club’s long-term vision.

A move to Turin could offer the player a fresh start in a league that has historically suited technically gifted midfielders. From the player’s perspective, the idea of joining Juventus is believed to be appealing.

The opportunity to play a central role in a rebuilding project, combined with a potentially more suitable playing environment, could make Serie A an ideal next step in his career.

Financial Details and Transfer Outlook

Any deal, however, will not come cheaply. Reports suggest that Manchester United value Ugarte at no less than €40 million, a fee that reflects both his potential and the investment already made in him.

Juventus, while mindful of their financial structure, are thought to consider this valuation manageable under the right conditions. In terms of personal terms, Ugarte is said to be seeking a salary in the region of €4 million per season—well within Juventus’ wage framework.

This alignment on wages could simplify negotiations if both clubs reach an agreement on the transfer fee. While talks are still at an early stage, the situation is expected to develop in the coming weeks.

With the summer transfer window approaching, Juventus may soon decide whether to formalize their interest with an official offer.
