Chelsea will compete with Arsenal and Liverpool for the signing of Gabriel Moscardo.
The 18-year-old midfielder Gabriel Moscardo of Corinthians is a promising player that Liverpool is vying for. The young South American has been drawing attention throughout Europe, and Chelsea has emerged as Arsenal’s fiercest challenger in the competition to sign him.
Balso has expressed interest in hiring Moscardo, indicating that his growing reputation is not going overlooked. The eighteen-year-old is considered one of South America’s most promising prospects.
During the summer transfer window, Chelsea, who are renowned for their aggressive attitude to acquiring young talent, saw their £18 million offer for Moscardo rejected. Now, the Blues are prepared to step up their pursuit again during the next January transfer window.
That is according to the Standard. The versatile midfielder has 35 appearances across all competitions. Corinthians, who obviously know of Moscardo‘s rising stock, will wait until after their presidential elections on November 25 before delving into discussions regarding a potential deal.
Moscardo to the Reds?
The conclusion of the Brazilian season in December is likely to pave the way for Moscardo’s transition to European football, with top clubs vying for his signature. The player will also command an extremely heavy price tag in the vicinity of £26m, a testament to his potential and the high demand for his skills.
Moscardo made his senior debut for Corinthians in June and has since caught the eye as a Brazil Under-23 international with a solitary performance at that level. His inclusion in the national setup further emphasises his potential to make a significant impact at the highest levels of the sport.
The Reds must balance the financial implications of signing a player who hasn’t yet established himself at the highest level with the strategic importance of landing a player of Moscardo’s caliber versus Chelsea and other suitors as the battle for his signature heats up.
