The summer transfer window has not officially opened yet but Chelsea are working intensely behind the scenes to try and get a headstart on their rivals.
If you're a Chelsea supporter then Sunday evening was dominated by transfer-related activity. The Blues pulled out of the race to sign highly-rated midfielder Manuel Ugarte from Sporting CP. It's understood there was at one point a confidence from Chelsea's side that they would be able to sign the 22-year-old, who was also keen on a move to Stamford Bridge.
However, Paris Saint-Germain, who have been head-to-head with Chelsea for Ugarte's signature in recent weeks, submitted a significantly higher offer – one that the Blues were unprepared to match. Now, it looks as if the Uruguay international will join PSG on a long-term deal in the coming days, with some reports suggesting he has a medical booked in Paris very soon.
