Chelsea have won the race to sign Sporting Lisbon midfielder Manuel Ugarte<\/a>, sources have told Football Insider. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talks have been progressing over the last week and the 22-year-old midfielder is now set to join the London club in a \u00a352million move when details are finalised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is understood that Ugarte has a full agreement with Chelsea and is expected to sign a deal until 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He will become the first signing under new manager Mauricio Pochettino after the Argentine requested him during his interview process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Negotiations have been ongoing over a structured deal that will see the Portuguese club receive a significant upfront fee with add-ons that reach his release clause. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paris Saint-Germain offered a higher base wage to try and tempt Ugarte to join but Chelsea’s contract offer is subsidised by bonus features and future clauses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea had been keeping tabs on Ugarte before hiring Pochettino but accelerated their pursuit after appointing him at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After finalising a deal for Ugarte, Chelsea are planning on turning their attention towards a deal for Moises Caicedo this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
