Todd Boehly was present in the meeting yesterday, he met with Manuel Ugarte, Jorge Mendes and Jorge Chijane. He was presented with €2m annual salary, through a long term deal, in order to soften the investment, spreading it over several years and reducing the impact of spending on UEFA fair play. (@Record_Portugal)
 

Ugarte saw Chelsea as almost a done deal but is now reticent over his future after seeing the disparity in wages. (@Record_Portugal) #CFC
 

with a new round of negotiations set to take place between clubs and player. PSG also offered sporting to pay in 2 installments of 30 million, whilst Chelsea offered it over 5 installments.

Hahaha. Here we go again.

Another three montsh of this bollox incoming now.

Todd and Eghbali likes to make high risk decisions in every possible department, it's clear now.  It's their MO.  Whether it's changing the entire staff of a successful club, playing hardball with it's most loved player (Mount), buying kids with (only) potential from all over the world etc.

This is no different. Let's offer this kid who really wants to play for us a really low salary and see what he does. It's like they get off on it.

On the other hand if Mudryk is coming for 70M and earning 100k, maybe it makes for Ugarte coming in for 45M and earning something like 70k. If they can fix the mess that is our salary ladder hats off to them. 

I wonder if such salary offers is how we supposedly offered Declan Rices family?

I find it hard to believe we are offering him only 40k per week for supposedly a key figure in our midfield rebuild. Low balling is all well and good, agents though know what their client can expect to earn. I firmly believe most players are paid far too much but the cat is out of the bag now and an individual morale stand by the club will be fruitless. Ultimately if you offer wages that Palace and Bournemouth pay to a player, you end up at that level.

 

They're saying it's 3m per year now. PSG probably offered 4

That is net though, so gross its probably like anywhere between £70-90kpw, which puts him in the same bracket as players we've purchased in January when you consider there is no European football. It probably shoots up to £120-150kpw when we qualify. 

 

Improved offer made

So the latest on him, as per a few different sources like Record Portual:

1. Ugarte wants to play in the PL and will accept less wages than PSG have offered to join us.

2. He won't however accept significantly less, and qe have upped our offer from 2mill net a year to 3.5mill. PSGs offer is 5mill Net.

3. Talks going well with Sporting. They are happy with either offer just need fine details done.

is 5 significantly more than 3.5?

It’s 43% more. If we all looked for a new job and one employer offered 43% more than another for the same work, well that’s pretty compelling. 

Looks like Ugartes came is waiting for our offer to go up more. If he wanted PSG with the offer they made you would think he would just say yes and see you later Chelsea.

Record saying it’s done.

Really excited to see how well he pairs with Enzo

Fair play to the club if they’ve managed to persuade him with PSG in competition. Pochettino also wanted him so it’s a major boost for him. 

“Chelsea, advancing on Manuel Ugarte deal and very confident — negotiation not closed or completed yet. There are still things, details left to get it sealed 🚨🔵 #CFC

Chelsea cautious on Ugarte deal until they arrive to documents stage after Enzo saga with Benfica in January.”

It’s happening! 48 hours!

he’s never scored a goal for sporting (although he is a defensive mid). He’ll fit right in!

What you talking about. Our defensive mid used to be one of our top scorers!.

Yeah I reckon that is right. He clearly wants to come here and Pochettino clearly wants him.

More on Manuel Ugarte deal. Chelsea hope to fix final details, get contracts done next week. 🚨🔵⏳ #CFC

Club very confident, waiting on final steps but careful until the end.

Chelsea beats the termination clause of €60m + €5m through objectives. After 2  intense weeks, with many meetings between, his representatives Jorge Mendes and Jorge Chijane, Manuel Ugarte opted for Chelsea despite them not being in Europe (via @Record_Portugal)

So how does that work with FFP? 

Manuel Ugarte will have a contract for 5 years if everything is completed. (@RodrigoRomano76) #CFC 🔵🇺🇾

Think Todd thinks FFP stands for Fcking Forget Parity

I'm a bit worried, he is a bit slow and commits millions of fouls..

we don't need another clumsy holding midfielder.

Tell  me I'm wrong please. 🙂

I believe he signs July 1st, which is the start of the new fiscal year. We still need to sell players before the end of this fiscal year, June 30th.
