When everything looked on track for Manuel Ugarte to leave for Chelsea, an attack by PSG on Sunday evening led to a turnaround in the operation, with the Sporting midfielder opting for PSG’s proposal and the Londoners withdrawing from the race. The deal should be made official very soon.
According to the newspaper L’Equipe, Sporting’s 22-year-old Uruguayan midfielder is tied with PSG and the Parisian club pays the 60 million euros of the release clause. It remains to be seen whether the French emblem, as Chelsea would come to be, will be responsible for paying for the solidarity mechanism.
The fact that PSG has a guaranteed place in the Champions League next season, and especially the salary proposal, in the order of ten million euros per season, led Ugarte to opt for the transfer to the French club, since the proposal of Chelsea was about half. . The Londoners even withdrew from the race because they do not admit that they meet the values provided by the French.
Remember that Sporting only has 70% of Ugarte’s transfer, so he will receive 42 million for the transfer, and the remaining 18 million will go to Famalicão.
Loaned from Famalicão for €10.5 million (70% of the transfer) last season, Ugarte played 85 games with the lion on his chest – scoring a goal, providing two assists and winning a League Cup (2021/22).
