Italian club Napoli is intensifying its efforts to sign Manchester United midfielder Manuel Ugarte during the upcoming transfer window, with the club aiming to acquire him on loan.

According to European press reports, Napoli's management sees Ugarte as a suitable option to strengthen the midfield, especially given the player's experience at the European level and his ability to add defensive balance to the team.

Meanwhile, Juventus is closely monitoring the player's situation, as Ugarte is among the names on the 'Old Lady's' list of interests, in anticipation of making an official move if the opportunity arises to complete the deal.

The interest in the player is not limited to Napoli and Juventus only; several other European clubs are also monitoring Ugarte's situation with Manchester United, which could ignite competition for his services in the upcoming transfer window.
