PSG continue to move in this summer market as they wait to hear news about Kylian Mbappe’s move. His new signature is Manuel Ugarte, a player with a bright future coming from Sporting de Portugal. So, Luis Enrique’s project already has two players on the right foot after the arrival of Marco Asensio, to which new additions can be added in the coming days. In addition, Luis Campos intensified contact with different attackers such as Harry Kane or Kolo Muani.
Beyond these speculations that came from the summer market, the only fact is that Manuel Ugarte will play next year under the orders of Luis Enrique Martinez. The Uruguayan has been one of the most outstanding footballers in the Portuguese league this season. The midfielder became the rudder from Sporting de Portugal, who had a mediocre year, finishing in fourth place and qualifying for the Europa League.
Ugarte’s level is far above the general level of the squad of ‘lions‘. But, due to the economic strength of the club, which has registered a positive balance of 207 million euros in the last five years, PSG was forced to pay the player’s termination clause, estimated at 60 million euros.
PSG have signed a long-distance pivot with great technical qualities. A player with good footing, in the taste of Luis Enrique, who will definitely stand out in Paris. He has the projection of becoming one of the most outstanding players of the Uruguayan team in this new generation. In addition, he has great physical power, which allows him to distribute tasks for most of the second and third quarter of the field. He covers a lot of ground and, in addition to being able to play the ball, he is a good ‘stopper’.
Ugarte arrived in Lisbon two summers ago. The group of José Avalade paid 12.5 million euros of the Uruguayan soccer player, who arrived as one of the revelation players in the Portuguese League. After his great season at Famalicão, he caught the attention of big clubs in the country.
In two years at Sporting de Portugal, Ugarte has undergone an amazing evolution to be, surely, the most outstanding midfielder of the campaign in the Portuguese league. Today, he arrived at PSG until 2028 with the aim of continuing to grow in the old continent and gain ownership in a team that will need muscle in the core.
