According to Yakup Çınar, Galatasaray are making progress in talks over an initial loan move for Man Utd midfielder Manuel Ugarte, a temporary move to Türkiye that would include a permanent transfer option.

Galatasaray is seeking to sign a young and dynamic central midfielder, and Okan Buruk has a specific preference for Manuel Ugarte, provided certain conditions are met. It has been reported that talks concerning the Manchester United player have accelerated again. Galatasaray wants to secure a loan deal that includes an option to buy. Manchester United's asking price is approximately 35 million Euro, and Galatasaray has offered Ugarte a guaranteed annual salary of 5 million Euro. To assist in convincing the player, Galatasaray's former captain Muslera is now involved. Muslera told his compatriot not to hesitate and to go to Galatasaray, stating that Ugarte would be very happy there. Muslera also said that if Ugarte were to commit himself fully on the pitch, they would do everything for him. He also praised the fan atmosphere and provided important information about Istanbul.

According to Fanatik, Manuel Ugarte has accepted Galatasaray's offer in principle, and the matter is now between Galatasaray and Manchester United. Galatasaray plans to sign Ugarte on a loan basis. While a mandatory purchase clause has been discussed, Galatasaray is opposed to this and instead wants a non-mandatory purchase option for a reasonable fee. Negotiations with United are ongoing.

According to Team Talk, Wilcox has decided against selling Manuel Ugarte to Galatasaray, and Manchester United has rejected approaches from intermediaries working on behalf of Galatasaray.

According to a report from Fanatik, Manuel Ugarte is on Galatasaray's list for a potential midfield transfer, and the club will take action after its situation in the Champions League becomes clear. The same report adds that Manchester United is open to a loan until the end of the season with a mandatory purchase clause.

According to sources close to Galatasaray, talks with Manuel Ugarte's representatives have advanced in the last week. Ugarte is in regular contact with Galatasaray player Lucas Torreira, who is encouraging him to move to Istanbul, and club figure Fernando Muslera has also spoken to the player about a possible move, which has reportedly increased Ugarte's interest. Ugarte does not believe he has a long-term future at Manchester United. His representatives and intermediaries have communicated Galatasaray’s interest to Manchester United’s hierarchy but were informed that a deal for his departure will not be possible this month and is viewed as untenable in the January window. Galatasaray had planned to take Ugarte on loan with an option to buy and were prepared to pay a loan fee of approximately £15million. There is a belief that an offer near the £45million Manchester United paid PSG for him could be successful this month. Currently, Manchester United insist they are not open to his departure in January.

Takvim reports that significant progress has been made by Galatasaray in securing the loan transfer of Ugarte from Manchester United. The club is also considering alternatives.

According to reports in the Turkish media, Galatasaray are planning to sign Manuel Ugarte on loan from Manchester United in the January transfer window, with an option to make the move permanent for €25 million (£21.8m, $29.5m). Turkish journalist Ali Naci Küçük reported that both Manchester United and Manuel Ugarte agree that a loan exit would be best. Küçük told FutBolArena that both the player and Manchester United are currently positive about and open to the formula of a loan with a purchase option.

Sources close to the agents industry informed CaughtOffside that Galatasaray are exploring a loan deal for Manuel Ugarte from Manchester United that would run until the end of the season and include a permanent purchase option valued at around €20 million. Galatasaray are working on a flexible deal structure that includes wage sharing with Manchester United and performance-based conditions that would trigger the permanent option. It is believed that Lucas Torreira has already spoken with his compatriot Manuel Ugarte.

According to Goal.com, Galatasaray has targeted Manchester United midfielder Manuel Ugarte for a loan transfer. The same source reports that Galatasaray is also willing to consider a potential permanent deal in the summer for £22m ($30m). The midfielder arrived in Manchester last year from Paris Saint-Germain in a deal with a value of up to £51m ($68m) and has struggled in the Premier League.

Fanatik reports that Manchester United is ready to part ways with Manuel Ugarte because his performance has not met their expectations. According to the report, Galatasaray will make an official offer to Manchester United in the coming days. Ugarte is receptive to playing for Galatasaray, particularly because of the opportunity to play in the Champions League.

Acting on Okan Buruk's report, the Galatasaray management has intensified their contact for Manchester United’s Manuel Ugarte. Galatasaray faces significant competition for Ugarte. According to news in the French press, besides Ligue 1 team Lyon, Serie A team Napoli is also interested in the player. It is stated that United is demanding a transfer fee of over 30 million euros for Ugarte, while Galatasaray has made a package offer of 25 million euros with a purchase option. The news also mentioned that his national team teammates Fernando Muslera and Lucas Torreira are attempting to persuade Ugarte to come to Galatasaray.

Fanatik reports on Galatasaray's interest in Manuel Ugarte, viewing him as a strong alternative for Lemina and Torreira, or even as a potential replacement. It is claimed that Ugarte is seeking a team where he can prove himself. According to the report, the management of Galatasaray does not intend to match Ugarte's 30 million Euro market value and aims to complete the transfer with a significantly more affordable offer, with a loan that includes a purchase option being a possibility.

According to Erol Evcen, Galatasaray are pursuing Manuel Ugarte, who could be leaving Man Utd, and are expected to try to reach an agreement next month. The 24-year-old Uruguayan defensive midfielder joined Manchester United in August 2024 and has a contract until 2029. This season, he has made 10 Premier League appearances for the club. Ugarte has 33 caps for Uruguay and, according to Transfermarkt, has a market value of €35.00m. Atlético Madrid have also been linked with the player.
