Manuel Ugarte's agent, Jorgi Chijane, mentioned Liverpool as a potential destination. However, Liverpool boss Arne Slot wants a different profile of midfielder for his possession-based philosophy.

Liverpool have discussed Paris Saint-Germain's Manuel Ugarte, who has a similar asking price to Zubimendi. However, Liverpool feel he doesn't have quite the same passing range.

Manuel Ugarte has emerged as a primary transfer target for Liverpool this summer. According to numerous reports, the 23-year-old midfielder appears surplus to requirements at PSG as he doesn’t fit Luis Enrique’s tactical requirements for a defensive midfielder. Jorgi Chijane - Ugarte’s agent - also name dropped Liverpool as a potential destination in an interview with O Jogo this week.

Man Utd's hopes of signing Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte have been complicated by interest from Liverpool, who are looking to hijack any deal for the Uruguay international.
