<p>On Thursday of last week <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/marcelo-bielsa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Marcelo Bielsa</a></strong>’s Uruguay put on a masterclass performance against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Argentina</a> and took home a 2-0 win at the famed La Bombonera. <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/uruguay" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Uruguay</a></strong> commanded the midfield and reduced Argentina to a static side as the Bielsa press proved very effective.<br></p>



<p>During the match one incident took on a life of its own on social media and that was a gesture of PSG’s <strong>Manuel Ugarte</strong> made to Rodrigo De Paul. In a scuffle between the two sides Ugarte made a gesture using his hand implying in South America that De Paul is a suck up.<br></p>



<p>The gesture has gone viral, and Manuel Ugarte was on Uruguayan sports radio 100% Deporte and spoke about an incident he now regrets.<br></p>



<h2>Manuel Ugarte apologizes for insulting Rodrigo De Paul<br></h2>

<p>Manuel Ugarte stated on 100% Deporte, “<em><strong>When I saw the gesture I said: I’m an animal! The game was tremendous, and I didn’t even realize the gesture I made, in fact I continued playing without thinking about it. When they told me that it had gone viral, I asked: What gesture? He wanted me killed, I already apologized.”</strong></em><br></p>

<p>Bielsa has led a sort of revolution as the mostly conservative but talented Uruguayan side is now playing a much quicker and fluid passing and attacking game that is custom with Marcelo Bielsa.</p>

<p>Even with all the summer purging, the French giants are working on fresh acquisitions, and they had been in negotiations with <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sporting-cp" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sporting CP</a></strong> for quite some time to get midfielder <strong>Manuel Ugarte</strong>. For the services of the Uruguayan talent, PSG had been competing with Chelsea. </p>



<p>The 22-year-old reportedly heard both offers from teams through his agency. Eventually, he opted to turn down the Red-and-Blues’s advances in favor of a move to<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chelsea" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chelsea</a></strong>.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230603#BUS#6101"></div>


<p>As per the Portuguese newspaper <em>Record</em>, the<strong> deal can be considered done</strong>, and the Blues also had Mauricio Pochettino’s ‘ok’ to pay his €60 million release clause. The <em>Daily Mail </em>add that the Uruguay international has chosen the London outfit over the Parisians because he is <strong>eager to prove himself in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/premier-league" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Premier League</a></strong>, despite the fact that he might earn more money in France.</p>

<p>Many top European clubs have put their eyes on <strong>Manuel Ugarte</strong>, a 22-year-old defensive midfielder from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/uruguay" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Uruguay</a>. Ugarte has had a banner season for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sporting-cp" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sporting CP</a>, where he has been since 2021.</p>



<p>Manuel Ugarte’s climb in club and national team soccer began at the modest club Fenix in Uruguay, he would be transferred to Famalicão in 2021 only to be transferred to one of Portugal’s top clubs Sporting CP. Since then, Ugarte earned 8 caps for Uruguay and was included in the 2022 World Cup squad for La Celeste.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230526#BUS#4015"></div>




<p><strong>Now according to Football Transfers, what seemed like a move to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PSG</a> now has a speed bump as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chelsea" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chelsea</a> is looking at the Uruguayan to be added to their squad next season.</strong></p>



<h2>Manuel Ugarte transfer rumors</h2>



<p><strong>Manuel Ugarte has a reported 60-million-euro clause</strong> in his contract and that Chelsea would be willing to pay the fee. Chelsea is set for a massive overhaul next season and many players will be sold to make way for key signings.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230526#BUS#4011"></div>


<p><strong>PSG, Aston Villa, and Newcastle are also keeping tabs</strong> on the player that only cost Sporting CP 5 million euros. Liverpool also had been keeping tabs but the high price for the midfielder has made the Reds look elsewhere.</p>



<p>Manuel Ugarte has won 1 title with Sporting CP so far in his career.</p>
