An escape route for Ugarte

Manuel Ugarte's future at Manchester United has become uncertain, as Juventus have restarted their plans to sign the Uruguayan midfielder in the summer 2026 transfer window.

Ugarte has the opportunity to play in Serie A.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport , Juventus have been monitoring Ugarte since his time at Sporting Lisbon and later at PSG. Juventus' management sees the summer of 2026 as an excellent opportunity to enter the picture, given that the 24-year-old has failed to prove himself at Old Trafford.

Notably, Juventus will have the opportunity to scout Ugarte in person on April 1st, when the Uruguayan national team plays a friendly match against Algeria at the Allianz Stadium. Sporting Director Marco Ottolini is expected to be present to thoroughly assess him before making a final decision.

Ugarte joined Manchester United for a fee of €50 million two years ago, but has yet to live up to expectations. In need of regaining his place and stability, a move to Serie A could be the right direction for him to revitalize his career.

Conversely, the British media unanimously claim that Manchester United will seek to sell Ugarte outright in the summer of 2026. Therefore, the Uruguayan midfielder's time at Old Trafford is now numbered.

With Juventus ready to enter the fray and MU no longer so keen on keeping him, the summer of 2026 could open up a clear exit for Ugarte.
