Though briefly seeming set for a move to Liverpool, Uruguayan midfielder Manuel Ugarte is now leaving Sporting CP for another club in Europe. At the end of April, in Portugal claimed that Liverpool were in talks over a deal for Ugarte, with scouts tracking his progress in Lisbon. However, earlier this month ??s Neil Jones reported the Ugarte was, in fact, for the Reds, who are pursuing Alexis Mac Allister as a priority. The 22-year-old has since been linked with and but according to he is now joining Paris Saint-Germain. The Portuguese newspaper reports that the deal “is closed,” with PSG due to trigger his release clause and Ugarte agreeing a five-year contract.

Another French outlet, claim PSG have “already reached an agreement” with the player, who will become their first signing of the summer. It is questionable whether this development can be considered a blow for Liverpool, with it unsure whether Ugarte was ever on the radar at the club.
