Manchester United Midfielder Offered to Juventus and Inter

Super-agent Jorge Mendes has reportedly offered Manchester United midfielder Manuel Ugarte to Italian giants Milan and Juventus, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. The midfielder arrived at Old Trafford for €50 million in the summer of 2024 but has struggled to establish himself in the squad. His performance level has significantly dropped this season, where he has played 24 matches across all competitions but accumulated only 1000 minutes. The Uruguayan typically comes off the bench late in games, playing a largely peripheral role. Mendes' idea is that Ugarte, like many players who have moved from the Premier League to Serie A in recent years, could revive his career at the highest level with one of Italy's top clubs.

However, Juventus is currently prioritizing their efforts to sign another Manchester player, Bernardo Silva from City, who has already announced his departure from the Citizens. Inter Milan's current stance is unclear, but neither club has closed the door on such a possibility, which could be discussed later in the summer. The player himself is valued at around €30 million, but it seems more likely he would be offered on loan with an option to buy, rather than a direct sale.
