Chelsea are pulling out of a £52million deal to sign Sporting Lisbon midfielder Manuel Ugarte.
Paris Saint-Germain are now set to sign the Uruguay star after a late twist in the deal saw the French giants beat Chelsea. Chelsea and PSG triggered the £52m clause in Ugarte’s contract - and the player was keen on a switch to Stamford Bridge but PSG now look to have won the race.
Sporting are believed have initially informed Ugarte that he will only be sold to Chelsea this summer - but it appears Stamford Bridge chiefs have now performed a U-turn and PSG are favourites to land the player.
