“Ten Hag is k!lling our beautiful game… He’s signing all the players I have instructed Liverpool to sign before I left but this very last one I won’t watch him get the deal done, something must be done now”: Former Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp reacts to Man united latest transfer news, report Ten Hag to FIFA for agreeing personal terms to sign Liverpool top target.
Former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has expressed frustration with Manchester United’s recent transfer activities, accusing Erik ten Hag of targeting players that were once on Liverpool’s radar. Even though Klopp has parted ways with Liverpool, his attachment to the club’s success remains strong, and he is particularly disturbed by these developments. Klopp has hinted that he may take action against Ten Hag, possibly reporting him to FIFA for attempting to sign one of Liverpool’s top transfer targets.
Manchester United is eager to add a new defensive midfielder to their squad before the transfer window closes, with Paris Saint-Germain’s Manuel Ugarte being their primary focus. However, PSG’s demand of £51 million has posed a significant challenge. Despite this, Manchester United is determined to secure Ugarte and is exploring alternative options, such as arranging a loan deal with an obligation to buy later.
Negotiations between Manchester United and PSG are ongoing, with the involvement of super-agent Jorge Mendes. Ugarte, who PSG’s official website describes as “tireless,” is reportedly eager to make the move to Old Trafford and has already agreed to the personal terms of a long-term contract. United’s efforts are now concentrated on Ugarte, and while convincing PSG to reduce their asking price has been difficult, they are now considering a loan agreement with a mandatory purchase clause, which might be more attractive to PSG.
PSG, currently dealing with Gonçalo Ramos’s recent ankle injury, is in search of a top striker before the transfer window closes. While they have the financial resources to sign a high-profile forward, they may need to sell Ugarte first to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations.
From Manchester United’s perspective, the proposed deal could be appealing to PSG, as it would provide a significant fee for Ugarte in the next summer transfer window. Additionally, PSG’s recent acquisition of João Neves from Benfica could make them more open to United’s offer. Klopp’s discontent highlights the fierce rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester United over similar transfer targets, while United remains determined in their pursuit of Ugarte, despite the challenges they face.
