The strong performances of Manuel Ugarte in the Sporting CP midfield have put numerous clubs including Chelsea on notice ahead of the summer window. Tottenham and Liverpool are two teams in the Premier League to have shown an interest, while Paris Saint-Germain are also pushing hard to agree a transfer for the 22-year-old.
Ugarte has been scouted on several occasions by the Blues, with the most recent report sent back to west London following his commanding display in the Lisbon derby. The need for a midfield partner for Enzo Fernandez that compliments his qualities is paramount and Ugarte has been identified as one of those options.
Declan Rice, Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia join him on that list, but the Uruguay international could cost significantly less than the aforementioned trio. With early approaches being made, Mauricio Pochettino looks to be already having a hand in deciding the targets for Chelsea ahead of officially becoming the clubs manager for the 2023/24 campaign.
With that said, we have rounded up the latest news linking Ugarte with a summer move to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea payment plan
Following Chelsea’s decision to prepare an offer for Sporting CP’s Manuel Ugarte, the Blues could hold a distinct advantage with the selling club.
According to Portuguese outlet A Bola, in addition to paying his release clause, Chelsea will offer several bonuses to Sporting CP.
Salary decision
Just 24 hours after PSG’s intent to sign Manuel Ugarte was made clear, Chelsea have also agreed to the same proposal as the French club.

Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham are among the English clubs to have shown an interest in signing the midfielder.
Liverpool interest
Liverpool have held a long-standing interest in Manuel Ugarte with a significant midfield rebuild looking likely to take place at Anfield this summer.
Fellow Uruguay international Darwin Nunez could end up playing a key role in Ugarte’s summer decision by convincing him to join him at Liverpool.
