Ugarte has a release clause of £50m, a figure much higher than what the Anfield club would be willing to part ways with at the moment.
Nevertheless, Ugarte's agent, Jorge Chijane, has told Portuguese outlet O Jogo that the 22-year-old will leave Sporting this summer and that he believes a resolution will be found over the next couple of weeks.
"It is almost certain that he will leave," Chijane said. "I'll be in Lisbon soon. I trust Jorge Mendes, who is the best businessman in the world. In fact, when I told him about Ugarte for the first time, he said: 'Your eyes are my eyes'.
"There's a lot of talk, but I'm still not sure about the club [Ugarte will join]. There are many hypotheses on the table. I believe that in 15 days the situation will be resolved."
Aston Villa, Tottenham and Liverpool are all believed to be monitoring the midfield sensation.
