Ugarte explains his choice to join PSG

At the heart of the standoff between PSG and Chelsea during the summer transfer window, Manuel Ugarte finally joined the Ile-de-France club for an amount of 60 million euros. A wise choice in the eyes of the Uruguayan who does not regret having joined Paris Saint-Germain. “I am 100% convinced that coming here was the best choice. PSG, for me, is something incredible. Sometimes, I find it hard to believe that I am here because before coming, I did not imagine the scale of this club, its worldwide fame, its supporters… I am enjoying this incredible experience enormously, while focusing on achieving our goals,” said Manuel Ugarte.

The former Sporting CP player even provided two assists this season in the Ile-de-France jersey.
