Atletico Madrid are reportedly ready to make an offer for Manchester United defensive midfielder Manuel Ugarte in January. According to Fichajes, Atletico are ready to try signing him on an initial loan this winter, with the deal potentially becoming permanent for around €30m. Fichajes also suggests that interest from Madrid comes amid doubts over Conor Gallagher’s future, with Ugarte potentially a like-for-like replacement for the England international.

Atletico Madrid are interested in Manchester United midfielder Manuel Ugarte, who joined the Red Devils last summer and broke into the first team under Ruben Amorim. Despite his recent integration into the squad, Ugarte could potentially be on his way out of Old Trafford if Atletico Madrid decide to act on their interest in the Uruguay international.
