It is not known whether Ugarte will go to Paris (Saint-Germain) or to London, to Chelsea, but it is certain that he will not stay in Alvalada, in the lion’s team for a short time, and which should have many options, at least in this pre-season based on training levels, whether it’s a B-team or an under-23 team.
Essugo, Mateos Fernandes, Afonso Moreira, Fatavu and Rodrigo Ribeiro may have the opportunity to beat Ruben Amorim, while the return of defenders Eduardo Quaresma and Ruben Vinagre from loan is no doubt.
On the opposite side, on the relegation side, Artur Gomes and Rocinha, who were reinforcements last season, are expected to be absent and have to leave the Lisbon emblem.
