Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are reportedly keen on signing Manuel Ugarte from Sporting Lisbon in the summer transfer window.
Le Parisien have reported that Liverpool are ready to pay €60 million (£52 million) to Sporting Lisbon to secure the services of Manuel Ugarte in the summer of 2023.
The report in the French publication has claimed that Paris Saint-Germain, too, are ready to trigger the release clause of €60 million (£52 million) in the contract of Ugarte.
Chelsea have also been linked with the 22-year-old Uruguay international defensive midfielder, described as “a genius” by his Sporting teammate Pedro Goncalves on Instagram.
Could Liverpool really sign Manuel Ugarte from Sporting Lisbon?
In our view, Liverpool could be able to sign Manuel Ugarte from Sporting Lisbon in the summer transfer window.
Yes, there is a lot of interest in the youngster, but if Liverpool are ready to pay his release clause, then they could be able to convince him to move to Anfield.
Now, we know Liverpool are offloading Naby Keita, James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain at the end of the season.
While the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners have been heavily linked with Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, there is room for another midfielder.
After all, Liverpool will aim to challenge for the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League in the coming years, and they need a very strong and dynamic midfield department.
