Wanting to strengthen its midfield, Paris Saint-Germain is eyeing a solution for the future with Gabriel Moscardo (18 years old). Able to play as a sentinel or a step higher, the Brazilian was in Chelsea’s sights, but it is the Ile-de-France residents who seem to have taken the advantage as we revealed to you. While a first offer has been made, the file is reportedly on track.
The Corinthians player, who has 18 Brazilian Serie A matches to his credit (1 goal and 1 gift) this season, in any case swears only for the Ile-de-France club. According to The Parisian, if this transfer takes place, this will probably not be the case for this winter. Indeed, PSG’s cascade of injuries to midfield could change the plans, but the current position of the Ile-de-France residents in this matter is to loan him until this summer to Corinthians so that he joins the club in the French capital for next season.
Paris overtook everyone
In Paris, we are rubbing our hands, because the competition has been tough on this issue. Indeed, it wasn’t just Chelsea who were pushing hard. The Catalan newspaper Sport tells us that FC Barcelona also wanted to recruit the young Brazilian. And especially its sports director, Deco. After having worked for the arrival of the nugget Vitor Roque, the former midfielder tried everything to lock down Moscardo. But this time he didn’t succeed.
The daily even assures that Deco tried to convince the player to go to Barça even before being officially appointed sporting director of the Blaugrana. Le Culé thought he would take advantage of Chelsea’s hesitations to win the game, but PSG finally beat everyone to the post thanks to Luis Campos who had been following Moscardo for months.
