The recent (still to be announced) transfer of Manuel Ugarte from Sporting CP to PSG has brought the two clubs closer to each other and that might facilitate the negotiations between them involving two Parisian youngsters.

According to information obtained by media outlet O Jogo, El Chadaille Bitshiabu and Hugo Ekitike are being targeted by the Portuguese organization.

Are two Parisians heading to Portugal? El Chadaille Bitshiabu and Hugo Ekitike have some prominence in recent market buzz, notably linking them to Eintracht Frankfurt.

The two players are candidates to leave this summer, specifically the 20-year-old striker who will not be retained by PSG after they are forced to acquire him by a hefty sum following his year-long loan in Paris.

According to recent information from O Jogo, Sporting CP would be interested in purchasing not one, but the two players.

Bitshiabu is seen as a player with great potential, and in the event of the departure of left-footed defender Goncalo Inacio, courted by several European clubs, Sporting would need reinforcements for their backline.

The Lisbon club is also following Hugo Ekitike, who they consider an "attractive target." In this case, though, a one-year loan could suit Sporting and PSG, and satisfy both parties.

O Jogo clarifies that the interest in this duo is not attached to the transfer of Manuel Ugarte to PSG, although it is very obvious, as they state, that "relations between the two clubs are close" following Ugarte's move to Paris.
