Chelsea hold talks with Sporting star Ugarte

Chelsea have held talks over signing Sporting Lisbon midfielder Manuel Ugarte, who is thought to have a €60m release clause.

Ugarte's contract is up in 2026 and Sporting head coach Ruben Amorim has admitted it will be "difficult to keep players like Ugarte" following the failure to qualify for next season's Champions League.

Having announced the signature of Mauricio Pochettino as their new boss on Monday, Chelsea are believed to be targeting a goalkeeper, midfielder and striker in the summer window
