Former PSG midfielder under Lyon’s radar

Reports indicate that **Lyon is closely monitoring a former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder**. According to Turkish media outlet Fotomac, the club has its eyes on **Manchester United’s Manuel Ugarte**.

The Uruguayan international has been spending more time on the bench at Manchester United and might be seeking a move to gain more playing time.

A potential loan move without purchase option

Lyon could replicate its strategy used for Endrick, this time targeting **Manuel Ugarte**. With players like Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro ahead of him at Manchester United, Ugarte might consider a move this winter for more opportunities on the field.

**Lyon is reportedly very interested in his profile**, contemplating a six-month loan deal without a purchase option, as mentioned by Fotomac. If this move materializes, it would mark Ugarte’s return to Ligue 1 after his departure from PSG in the summer of 2024. His presence could significantly strengthen Lyon’s midfield.

**The club and its fans await further developments in the coming days**.
