Next summer, the "Sporting" team is likely to supplement their budget with millions of euros.

The Lisbon team has set a goal to sell defensive midfielder Manuel Ugarte at the highest price possible.

This task will not be very difficult, as two wealthy clubs from the Old Continent are vying for the 22-year-old Uruguayan - London's "Chelsea" and Paris' "Saint Germain."

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, representatives of "Ligue 1" have already made an initial offer for the shining footballer, but the amount did not reach the required 60 million euros. Such redemption figures are precisely stated in the player's contract.

M. Ugarte has been playing in the "Primeira" league since 2021.

In this Portuguese championship, he earned 11 yellow cards in 31 matches.
