The 60 million euros of the transfer of Manuel Ugarte to PSG surprised. That’s around three times more than the midfielder’s estimated value at the time.

Eventually, Manuel Ugarte may prove to be a world-class midfielder. In the meantime, one of Paris Saint-Germain’s summer recruits stands out only for the price of his transfer.

60 million euros, the sum seems surprising for the former player of Sporting Portugal. And she is. Polled by The Teama players’ agent confirms: It’s crazy that Paris paid 60 M€, the price of the clause, Ugarte is worth €20m, not much more. »

The reason for this dubious gap can be explained because the 22-year-old Uruguayan belongs to the big team managed by Jorge Mendes. The famous Portuguese agent is not the last to raise the stakes and increase his commissions.

The French sports media recalls that PSG currently has eight players stamped Mendes in its ranks: Keylor Navas, Danilo Pereira, Vitinha, Renato Sanches, Manuel Ugarte, Marco Asensio, Warren Zaire-Emery and El Chadaille Bitshiabu (on the start for join RB Leipzig).
