Corinthians president Augusto Melo has expressed his displeasure over Gabriel Moscardo’s move to Paris Saint-Germain.
Gabriel Moscardo will join Paris Saint-Germain. The transfer between the two clubs estimated at 22 million euros has been concluded, but it will take effect this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Indeed, the young 18-year-old Brazilian midfielder has a foot injury and must undergo surgery. He is expected to be out of action for three months. PSG therefore decided to postpone his arrival to allow him to recover from his injury.
Corinthians president Augusto Melo has confirmed the sale of Moscardo to PSG. “I can confirm that we have sold Gabriel Moscardo to Paris Saint-Germain, the operation has been completed,” he explained at a press conference. Moscardo will undergo an operation and then join PSG in July.”
“It wasn’t something we wanted.”
However, the boss of Timão also indicated that the Brazilian club was not in favor of this transfer. “From the start, we were against the sale,” he said. It is a reality and, in certain meetings, I have mentioned it. I was not in favor of the sale. »
The Brazilian leader regretted that the Brazilian club did not increase the release clause of the native of TaubatĂ© during his contract extension. “I had to participate in this negotiation, even if it was not something we wanted,” he added. To give you an idea, if we did not accept, they would have paid the clause which was cheaper. Why didn’t they increase Moscardo’s clause? Why didn’t they increase it when it was extended? »
This sale is the second of the winter for the capital club, after the arrival of Brazilian defender Lucas Beraldo.
