Soon-to-arrive player is anticipated for Chelsea medical; minimum 6-year contract
On Saturday night, we broke the shocking news that Manuel Ugarte, a Sporting player, has decided to join Chelsea.
Despite the fact that Blues' revised wage offer of €3.5 million per season was less than PSG's €6.5 million offer, he has decided to sign with the London club.
Since reporting is frequently done this manner in Europe, the statistics above are probably after taxes.
The Record's Sunday edition gives itself a well-deserved pat on the back for breaking the story first. They continue to be quite optimistic and state that Ugarte is anticipated to show up next week for his medical examinations with Chelsea.
His deal with the Premier League team will last at least six years.
Even if L'Equipe concedes Chelsea hold the advantage, the French publication says it's not game over for PSG in its Sunday edition.
Their argument is that PSG has not yet committed to pay Chelsea the full amount of the player's €60 million release clause whereas Chelsea has. That runs counter to the Portuguese assertions, which show that Ugarte just favours Chelsea.
Since PSG's local media were so certain Ugarte would be coming to Paris, there may be some upset.
