Chelsea target Manuel Ugarte is seemingly being offered a contract worth significantly more money by Paris Saint-Germain.

The Sporting CP midfielder is a key target for the Blues this summer as they look to improve on a dismal Premier League season.

New manager Mauricio Pochettino is said to want the signing of Ugarte, but may lose out on him to a former club.

Record in Portugal states that PSG is ready to pay him around 2.6 million per year more than what Chelsea have offered.

Ugarte does have a 53 million release clause within his contract with Sporting.

Given the interest in him from top clubs, any team signing Ugarte will likely have to pay his buyout clause.
