Recruited for 60 million euros from Sporting during the off-season, Manuel Ugarte already weighs on the game of Paris Saint-Germain in his role as sentry.
Little known in France, Manuel Ugarte is one of the very good picks for PSG this summer, who once again made his network speak in Portugal, through Luis Campos. “Portugal is a talent pool, which the country can be proud of“, had also declared Nasser Al-Khelaïfi this Wednesday, who had also explained that the sports director and himself had “worked together 20 hours a day for two months without a break” during the summer market.
At the start of the season, the 22-year-old midfielder is impressive, in a profile that the Ile-de-France club has lacked for several seasons. Retained with Uruguay for the start of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Manuel Ugarte returned to his first weeks as a Paris Saint-Germain player.
“The first few weeks were difficult”
“It’s a totally different team, one of the best in the world due to the quality of the players, and it’s also a team that is still in the makingbelieves the former Sporting player. I’m very happy, because it’s a new stage in my career and I feel ready.”
However, Ugarte concedes that the first weeks in Paris, after leaving Lisbon, were complicated for him to manage: “The first few weeks were difficult for mesays the PSG player. In Lisbon I was always very comfortable and happy, and it takes a bit of getting used to in Paris, but I feel that now I’m very well, with a lot of confidence, and my teammates treat me also good.”
