In January 2024, Paris Saint-Germain put €20 million on the table to recruit young Corinthians midfielder Gabriel Moscardo. Since then, the 20-year-old has had a lively career. Having undergone foot surgery just after joining the capital club, Moscardo had to wait before going on loan to Reims, then to Braga. And this summer, the former resident of Timão was sent, still on loan, to Espanyol. Under contract until 2028, Moscardo wanted to send a message of thanks to PSG.
“During my first season on loan in France, as everything happened very quickly – transfer, loan, a country that I didn’t know… – it was a complicated year for me. But I always benefited from the support of PSG, who trusted me. I knew that I had just arrived in Europe and that it was not the time to leave. The management trusted me and offered me an interesting project. I enriched my experience. The idea of returning to Brazil is premature for me, it didn’t even cross my mind. I feel ready and I still have energy to spend in Europe, always with the confidence of PSG. I arrived at PSG at 18 and they always gave me attention by sending me on loan to ideal clubs to progress. During each loan, the management and Luis Enrique were always attentive to my case. For Braga, it was even the president of PSG who recommended me and wanted me to go there to progress. During my first loan, Luis Enrique told me in person that he wanted me to go out on loan to have more playing time and a bigger role. I was coming off surgery, which made the situation all the more understandable. At every step, they seek what is best for me. Now is the ideal time for me to become a key player again and to become the “Moscardo” of Corinthians again, the one who was successful and who was the starter.he declared on ESPN Brazil.
