Report: Bayern Munich not interested in PSG’s Manuel Ugarte as Manchester United loom

Bayern Munich’s defensive midfield search will apparently not include Uruguayan international and Paris Saint-Germain star Manuel Ugarte.

The 23-year-old PSG man is currently starring at Copa América under Marcelo Bielsa, who have the chance to break USMNT hearts on Monday evening. But if he moves from France, Ugarte’s next destination looks likelier to be England than Germany, according to Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg:

Understand that Manuel #Ugarte is a serious transfer farget for Manchester United now!

Talks took place as the 23 y/o can leave @PSG_inside this summer. #MUFC want to strengthen the central midfield!

There are also rumors about Ugarte and FC Bayern but currently he‘s not a topic of interest at Bayern.

Bayern looks like it will not be restoring Joshua Kimmich to central midfield anytime soon, meaning a new No. 6 is on top sporting exec Max Eberl’s shopping list in the summer transfer window. The Bavarians look set to make a big effort for Fulham’s João Palhinha (again), but it will be interesting to see where they turn should that not pan out.
