Chelsea Football Club has reportedly increased its contract offer to Sporting CP midfielder Manuel Ugarte as they aim to secure his signature amidst interest from other European powerhouses, including Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Liverpool.
The talented Uruguayan international has been attracting attention from several top clubs across Europe, thanks to his impressive performances for Sporting CP. With a release clause of €60 million in his current contract, Ugarte has the luxury of choosing his next destination.
According to sources, Chelsea initially made an offer of £2 million per year to the 21-year-old midfielder. However, in their latest bid to secure his services, the London-based club has revised their offer, raising the salary package to £3 million per year, along with additional performance-based bonuses.
While the improved offer from Chelsea demonstrates their strong desire to acquire Ugarte’s services, it falls short of PSG’s reported proposal. The French giants are said to have offered the Uruguayan a lucrative salary package of £4.3 million per year, potentially giving them an edge in the race to sign the promising midfielder.
The competition for Ugarte’s signature is intensifying, and Liverpool has also emerged as a potential suitor for the talented midfielder. However, details regarding Liverpool’s offer remain undisclosed at this time.
Manuel Ugarte has been widely recognized for his technical abilities, vision, and composure on the ball. His performances in the Portuguese Primeira Liga have garnered praise from football enthusiasts and experts alike. Sporting CP’s midfield dynamo has showcased exceptional talent, dictating play in the center of the park and contributing with goals and assists.
As the negotiations continue, it remains to be seen which club will ultimately secure the services of Manuel Ugarte. With interest from European giants like Chelsea, PSG, and Liverpool, the young Uruguayan midfielder has a difficult decision to make regarding his future. Fans eagerly await his decision, which is likely to have a significant impact on the balance of power in European football.
