Flagship recruit of the Parisian summer transfer window, Manuel Ugarte already has everyone in agreement! Under the leadership of Luis Enrique, the Uruguayan midfielder shines in the Ile-de-France midfield, with his accuracy and his activity. In a sector often decried last season, the 22-year-old is responding for the present moment, as evidenced by his tenure during PSG’s first four matches in Ligue 1. While he is currently called up with his national team for playing two matches counting for the qualifiers for the South American zone for the 2026 World Cup, Manuel Ugarte confided in his adaptation within the club of the capital while admitting that the first weeks were complicated, given his attachment for his former club, Sporting Lisbon.
“It’s a totally different team, one of the best in the world in terms of the quality of the players, it’s also a team that is being formed. I’m very happy because it’s a new step I’m taking in my career and I feel prepared… The first few weeks were difficult for me because at Sporting Lisbon I was always very comfortable and happy, and going to Paris requires a bit of adaptation, but I feel that now I am very well, with a lot of confidence, and my teammates are also trying to help me. In the right direction“, recognized the main interested party during an interview granted to ESPN.
