Fabrizio Romano offers an update on the future of Tottenham target Manuel Ugarte
According to popular Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Jorge Mendes is taking care of the future of Manuel Ugarte amidst interest from Tottenham Hotspur.
Having joined Lisbon in the summer of 2021, Ugarte has rapidly emerged as one of the brightest young midfield prospects in European football. His remarkable performances, spanning 46 appearances in all competitions this season, have garnered widespread acclaim.
Notably, he has delivered standout displays in both the Champions League and Europa League, showcasing his immense potential on the grandest stages. It also shows his ability to play at the highest level.
However, it appears that Manuel Ugarte‘s time in Portugal is drawing to a close as his reputation continues to soar. Numerous clubs have been linked with a move for the gifted playmaker, including Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool
Romano has shared a fresh update regarding the talented midfielder’s future, revealing that Ugarte seems destined for a summer move. The player’s agent, Jorge Mendes, is overseeing negotiations with several Premier League clubs.
While there is genuine interest from three top-flight clubs, no agreement has been reached as of yet. The race for Ugarte’s signature remains wide open, and it is believed that a substantial fee of €60 million may be required to secure his services.
Manuel Ugarte’s arrival at Tottenham would be a significant coup for the North London club. Blessed with exceptional technical ability and a keen eye for goal, the young midfielder could potentially form a formidable partnership with his compatriot, Rodrigo Bentancur, in the heart of the Spurs midfield.
While the competition for Ugarte’s signature is undoubtedly fierce, Tottenham can take solace in their relatively positive relationship with Sporting Lisbon. The two clubs have engaged in successful transfer negotiations in the past.
