PSG to seal Marco Asensio & Manuel Ugarte signings

The Ligue 1 champions are ready to freshen up their ranks in the summer window as they are preparing to welcome some of the best talents across Europe. PSG already bid farewell to free agents such as Sergio Ramos and Lionel Messi. Early business is being lined up, with two international performers on their way to Parc des Princes. Jorge Mendes took care of both Manuel Ugarte & Asensio signings.

The 22-year-old Uruguayan midfielder Manuel Ugarte is undergoing physical checks in Paris before putting pen to paper. PSG have a €60 million (£52m/$64m) deal in place there. The Premier League giants Chelsea have been fended off in order to lure the talented South American away from Portuguese side Sporting. It was reported late last night that the Blues were pulling out of the race to sign Ugarte, despite a lot of the groundwork being done already. It had been claimed that the Uruguayan had been one of the names directly recommended by Mauricio Pochettino, as he begins his tenure as the new Chelsea manager.

PSG needed to look upon the Champions League by now. They have signed some big names in the last few windows but haven't succeeded yet. Ugarte's signing can be a key one for them while Asensio will bring the experience of the Champions League. It is time for them to compete in the Finals every season. Because they have already fallen behind with zero UCL titles. The board, management, manager, and players must step up.
