Chelsea rejected! Brazilian wonderkid Gabriel Moscardo chooses PSG over Blues as Corinthians slap €25m price tag on 18-year-old midfielder

According to<a href="https://www.footmercato.net/a6261509717117250573-le-psg-accelere-sur-le-dossier-gabriel-moscardo" target="_blank"> Foot Mercato</a>, the Parisians have taken a march over <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/corinthians-gabriel-moscardo-chelsea-barcelona/blt0ec78e04af4da07b" target="_blank">Chelsea in the pursuit of the 18-year-old midfielder</a> with PSG director Luis Campos set to fly to Brazil to complete the deal which could potentially cost £21m (€25m/$27). Chelsea have seen a bid of €20m (£17m/$22m) rejected as Corinthians are ready to sell their prized asset to the highest bidder.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Moscardo has reportedly set his heart on joining PSG in January and both clubs want to shake hands as soon as possible. The player believes that the Blues have several options in midfield like Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, Conor Gallagher, Romeo Lavia, Lesley Ugochukwu, Carney Chukwuemeka and Andrey Santos, and fears that he <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/gabriel-moscardo-brazilian-wonderkid-transfer-radars-barcelona-chelsea-arsenal/blt3384f8ae1e0f3e6d" target="_blank">might have to struggle for minutes </a>with the London club.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Chelsea cannot offer Moscardo a potential loan move as well since they have used up all seven international loan spots. Hence PSG have now got a free shot to get their hands on the player, even though they joined the race pretty late.

DID YOU KNOW?

Chelsea are struggling for goals and Mauricio Pochetttino might favour an additional striker in January. They are <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-contemplating-big-money-january-bid-brentford-ivan-toney/blt8f48f4bae37e1c06" target="_blank">said to be interested in signing</a> Ivan Toney from Brentford but will face stiff competition from Arsenal for the £80 million ($99m) rated striker.
