Here’s the latest on Manuel Ugarte’s transfer fee situation.
- In August 2024, Manchester United agreed an initial fee of £42.2m for Ugarte, with the total package potentially rising to about £50.7m (€60m) including add-ons. This was widely reported by Sky Sports and other outlets at the time.
- Some sources in 2024-2025 suggested ongoing transfer discussions and potential loan-to-buy arrangements, but the main reported permanent transfer fee in the public records was the £50.7m ceiling with add-ons.
Notes for clarity:
- If you’re looking for “latest” as of today, the Ugarte transfer saga has seen various updates since 2024, including speculation and alternative options, but the principal fee framework reported publicly remains the £42.2m upfront with possible up to £50.7m total depending on add-ons.
- Accounts of subsequent January or summer 2025 discussions often referenced Galatasaray loan talks or other routes, but the definitive fee figure tied to United’s agreement was the £50.7m ceiling in the original reports.
