Passionate about sport, cinema and television (on screen and behind) since his childhood, Bernard has been a journalist for 10 Sport since 2018. More skilled with the keyboard in hand than with the ball on his feet, he decides to mainly cover a beloved sport, criticized and hated at the same time (football) and a sport that is not one (wrestling).
One of the transfers completed by PSG this summer caused a lot of ink to flow. Arriving from Sporting, Manuel Ugarte actually cost the capital club €60 million, a real risk-taking to strengthen the midfield. And a few weeks after his arrival, the bet already seems to be winning before the resumption of the Champions League.
PSG opened a new chapter of the QSI project this summer, welcoming eleven new players, including Manuel Ugarte. The Uruguayan midfielder has the difficult task of establishing himself in a sector where disappointments have followed one another over the years, while having the weight of his transfer on his shoulders. To recruit him, the PSG has in fact decided to release €60M to Sporting, something to talk about when he arrives. “It’s crazy that Paris paid €60 million, the price of the clause. Ugarte is worth €20 million, not much more,” said an agent in the columns of L’Equipe in July.
For his first month, Ugarte is nominated for the UNFP Trophies
A month after the start of the season, and with only four Ligue 1 matches on the clock, Manuel Ugarte has already made everyone agree, and his work has been rewarded since the Uruguayan international is nominated for the first time for the UNFP Trophies in August, alongside Takumi Minamino (AS Monaco) and Musa Al-Taamari (Montpellier).
He is expected in the Champions League
The hardest part remains to be done Ugarte, confirm its excellent start to the season while also responding in the Champions League, the real test to pass. PSG will face Borussia Dortmund next Tuesday, before going to Newcastle then welcome theAC Milan. In the meantime, the leaders seem to have been right with him, and his teammates are also under the spell after a few weeks. “I didn’t know Ugarte. He surprised me. When I see him play, he reminds me of N’Golo Kanté. Even I, who am a player of this style, when I see him, it makes me want to do the same,” declared Lucas Hernandez In Téléfoot.
