Juventus are observing 24-year-old Manuel Ugarte for a possible transfer next season. The club's management will be able to see him play in person, as he is scheduled to participate in a friendly match for Uruguay at the Allianz Stadium. Marco Ottolini, the sporting director for Juventus, will observe the midfielder closely. Ugarte is on Ottolini's list of potential transfer targets, which also includes other players. Juventus is interested in the Uruguayan international to reinforce its midfield. Ugarte has earned 34 caps and scored 1 goal for his country.
It could be difficult to persuade Manchester United to agree to a transfer, as they paid 50 million euros for him two summers ago. Ugarte has played in 50 Premier League matches over the last two seasons. His contract with the English club is valid until 2029. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €30.00m. Other clubs, such as Galatasaray, Sunderland, and Ajax, have also been associated with an interest in him.
