Foot Mercato reports that Paris Saint-Germain has surged ahead of Chelsea in the chase for the 18-year-old midfielder, Gabriel Moscardo. PSG’s director, Luis Campos, is poised to travel to Brazil to finalize the deal, potentially costing around £21m (€25m/$27). Meanwhile, Chelsea’s offer of €20m (£17m/$22m) has been turned down as Corinthians are prepared to sell their prized asset to the highest bidder.
Moscardo seems intent on a January move to PSG, prompting both clubs to seek a swift agreement. The player perceives Chelsea’s midfield depth with options like Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, Conor Gallagher, Romeo Lavia, Lesley Ugochukwu, Carney Chukwuemeka, and Andrey Santos and worries about competing for playing time in the London club.
With Chelsea having utilized all seven international loan spots, they cannot propose a potential loan move for Moscardo. Consequently, PSG now holds an unhindered opportunity to secure the player, despite their late entry into the competition.
Chelsea faces goal-scoring challenges, and Mauricio Pochettino might prioritize acquiring an additional striker in January. They are reportedly eyeing Ivan Toney from Brentford, a striker valued at £80 million ($99m), although Arsenal poses significant competition for his signature.
