How Edison Cavani Influenced Manuel Ugarte’s Decision to Join PSG This Summer

Paris Saint-Germain has a defensive midfielder for the foreseeable future in Manuel Ugarte. The Uruguayan chose the Ligue 1 giants over Chelsea after both clubs vied for him.

As the 22-year-old prepares for his first season in the French capital, Ugarte spoke with L’Equipe. One of the questions pertains to why he decided to go with PSG.
