Juventus are monitoring Manuel Ugarte’s situation at Manchester United as they explore midfield reinforcements for next season. According to Tuttosport, the 24‑year‑old has become a concrete target, with the Italian club evaluating a loan move that includes an option to buy. Whether talks progress will depend entirely on United’s willingness to sanction a temporary departure, given Ugarte’s current €30 million valuation.
Juve sporting director Marco Ottolini reportedly scouted the midfielder during Uruguay’s recent friendly against Algeria and came away impressed by his poise, ball‑winning instincts and passing range. The Bianconeri are expected to continue studying the feasibility of a deal as they shape their summer strategy.
For now, Juventus remain interested but cautious, aware that United may prefer to keep Ugarte or push for a permanent sale. The next phase of negotiations will determine whether a move to Turin becomes realistic.
