Manuel Ugarte to Chelsea transfer: £52m release clause, PSG proposal, Todd Boehly plan

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.
