Manchester United have a full agreement with PSG for the signing of midfielder Manuel Ugarte.
United will pay an initial of £42.2m but the deal could be worth as much as £50.7m (€60m) including performance-related add-ons.
Ugarte, who was the club’s primary midfield target throughout the window, is expected in the UK on Tuesday to have a medical and sign off on personal terms.
PSG went into negotiations wanting the £51.1m (€60m) fee they paid Sporting Lisbon last summer before bonuses.
The clubs have compromised given the willingness of all parties to get a deal done. United are understood to be happy with the deal that they have struck.
The Uruguayan will join United just a year after PSG paid Sporting Lisbon £51.1m for the player.
The publication reported Ugarte set his heart on a move to Old Trafford this summer and personal terms were never a problem in negotiations.
PSG and United had both been keen to agree on a permanent deal, although talks also took place regarding a loan move which included an obligation to buy.
United had to sell players before a deal could move forward but the exits of Facundo Pellistri to Panathinaikos and Hannibal Mejbri to Burnley created sufficient space in Erik ten Hag’s squad for Ugarte this summer.
Ugarte was not involved in PSG’s match-day squad for their Ligue 1 opener against Le Havre, which ended in a 4-1 win for the reigning champions.
The midfielder led the top flight of French football in tackles last season (98), despite only starting 21 games across the 2023/24 campaign.
