Fabrizio Romano is easily one of the most well regarded journalists when it comes to transfers in the sporting world.
Whenever there are rumours surfacing around targets, most people are waiting for one of his famous “here we go” before believing the deal.
Unfortunately for Manchester United fans, the Red Devils are still waiting for the famous catchphrase confirming the signing of Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain.
Now, Romano has provided an update on the move, as well as a sneaky insight into one of United’s apparent other targets.
His recent update claims that the deal is now just waiting on the green light from United, with the Uruguayan wanting a move to Old Trafford all summer.
However, his other insight is regarding Atalanta’s Ederson.
Recently it’s been reported that while United staff were attending Atalanta’s headquarters to sort out paperwork regarding Rasmus Hojlund’s transfer last summer, they used the opportunity to submit an offer.
Reports from Alfredo Pedulla claim that United made a bid of £42.4 million (€50 million) for the midfielder, with Atalanta rejecting the offer.
However, the update from Romano says “no bids for Atalanta midfielder Ederson, full focus only on final steps of Ugarte deal.”
This could be that Romano is saying that there is no further intention of bidding for Ederson after their rejected offer. However, it could be that he is in fact suggesting that the reported bid never actually happened and United only enquired about the midfielder.
Whichever one of these interpretations is right, one thing is clear from Romano, there are no planned offers to be made for Ederson between now and the end of deadline day.
Manuel Ugarte, ONLY waiting for Manchester United and their final green light as his plan is clear since end of July.
No bids for Atalanta midfielder Ederson, full focus only on final steps of Ugarte deal.
