Paris Saint-Germain has long been announced as competing with Chelsea on this issue. The Blues thought they would steal the Uruguayan before retiring, leaving the field open to the Parisians who will pay the 60 million euros of his release clause. All that’s missing is the announcement to formalize his signature. But Manuel Ugarte, not summoned to the squad review of new coach Marcelo Bielsa, and who simply accompanies the Albiceleste as a supporter, got ahead of his new leaders by putting an end to the false suspense.
Ugarte confirms his arrival at PSG
” The truth is that now I have to rest a bit and then start everything at PSGconfirmed the Parisian rookie on the sidelines of Uruguay’s friendly match won against Nicaragua (4-1) last night. I’m going to a huge club, I haven’t even fully realized it yet. I will try to give my all. “Enthusiastic, Manuel Ugarte nevertheless remains disappointed with the departure of Lionel Messi at the end of the contract. ” It’s true that Messi is leaving. It would have been amazing to play with him, but those are football things. But I’m very happy “Reacted the Uruguayan international, who signed up with Paris Saint-Germain until 2028.
