Manchester United are expected to focus on midfield recruitment following the imminent arrivals of Noussair Mazraoui and Matthijs de Ligt.
Dialogue remains open with Paris Saint-Germain over Manuel Ugarte but, as yet, PSG are not budging on price.
United are being patient with a little over two weeks of the window to go in the knowledge that PSG may need to sell, and with the Uruguay international very keen on a move to Old Trafford.
Personal terms are therefore not expected to be a problem.
United are looking at other midfielders and talks continue with Burnley over Sander Berge, who missed Monday’s win over Luton.
Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana and Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat – who spent last season on loan at United – also remain live options.
However, any purchases may be dependent on United making a sale – although there have been no further bids for Scott McTominay, while Casemiro is now expected to stay.
Aaron Wan Bissaka’s £15m move to West Ham could be announced as soon as Tuesday.
