PSG agree €20m deal for Brazilian teen Moscardo – sources

Paris Saint-Germain have reached an agreement to sign Corinthians midfielder Gabriel Moscardo, sources have told ESPN.

PSG sporting director Luís Campos traveled to Brazil earlier this month to monitor Moscardo, and the club have now agreed a €20 million deal for the midfielder. ESPN reported last summer that Chelsea had a $22 million offer rejected.

Other teams in Europe, such as Arsenal, Manchester United and Atlético Madrid, have also inquired about the Corinthians player but have not made any offers.

Sources told ESPN that Moscardo recently visited Paris and will sign a five-year contract at the club.

Before Moscardo turned professional, Barcelona also expressed interest in the player, but talks were unsuccessful.

Promoted to the first team this season, Moscardo made 25 senior appearances for Corinthians, recording one goal and one assist.
