The Premier League giants have offered the defensive midfielder a salary of €3.5 million, while PSG have reportedly tabled an offer worth €5 million per season (both figures after taxes).

Ugarte, however, has chosen to move to Chelsea, and an announcement confirming his arrival is expected in the coming days.

Ugarte has been one of the outstanding players in his position this season.

The Uruguayan, who operates as a defensive midfielder, has made 47 appearances for Sporting this season.

Sporting manager Ruben Amorim recently spoke about Ugarte’s potential departure from the club.

“I cannot comment on this issue because it is beyond me. Now, we know that it is difficult to keep players like Ugarte. Not just one club is interested, but several,” Amorim said.
