Chelsea Contemplates Midfielder Sale to Satisfy Premier League’s PSR Amid PSG Standout Interest

Manuel Ugarte’s future at Paris Saint-Germain is uncertain, and his name is swirling in transfer rumors. Chelsea are reportedly among the clubs having the Uruguayan on their radar, and now that interest could be heading up. 

Even though the Uruguayan midfielder had a promising beginning to his first season, his performance took a downturn, leading to him being benched more often. As a result, his name is in the gossip, with the summer window opening in a few days. 

According to a recent report from journalist Graeme Bailey, Chelsea are considering Ugarte as a possible replacement for Conor Gallagher. Moreover, it seems the 24-year-old might be heading out of Stamford Bridge this summer, which could intensify any interest in Ugarte.

The Express reports that Chelsea still haven’t made any progress in reaching a new contract agreement with Gallagher. Aston Villa and Tottenham are also interested, and Chelsea might consider selling him to comply with the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules.
