Recruited at the price of 60 million euros last summer from Sporting CP, Manuel Ugarte had a flamboyant debut in the Parisian jersey. But as the season progressed, the Uruguayan international lost his place in Luis Enrique’s eleven, who preferred to field Vitinha as a defensive midfielder. This season, he has appeared 35 times with Paris, including 23 in Ligue 1 for three assists delivered in all competitions.
In addition, the native of Montevideo did not even come into play during the Champions League semi-final against Borussia Dortmund. After the victory in the Champions Trophy against Toulouse (2-0), Manuel Ugarte was publicly criticized by Luis Enrique. “Today he was magnificent. No lost balls, no mistakes, perfect”declared the Parisian manager, while his player had started on the substitutes’ bench and had not come into play.
AC Milan has the asset Jorge Mendes
Enough to ask some questions about his future at Paris Saint-Germain. And in this sense, a way out is offered to him. According to information from the Gazzetta dello Sport, AC Milan are reportedly looking for a midfielder for next year and have ticked off the 23-year-old Uruguayan’s name for next season. And what’s more, Sergio Conceiçao, who is increasingly close to succeeding Stefano Pioli on the Rossoneri bench, is represented by Jorge Mendes… like Manuel Ugarte.
An asset that would facilitate its exit. Paris Saint-Germain will not want to immediately sell Manuel Ugarte after only one contested season, but a loan could be beneficial for all parties involved in this deal. Recently, Juventus also wanted to enlist him to strengthen their midfield, while the player no longer finds his place in the rotation of Paris Saint-Germain, before a summer transfer window which promises to be XXL after the departure by Kylian Mbappé.
