Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have reportedly taken the lead in the race to sign the signature of 18-year-old Brazilian prodigy Gabriel Moscardo, leaving Barcelona and Chelsea trailing behind.

The midfielder, who emerged from Corinthians’ academy, has gained attention with his impressive performances since making his senior debut earlier this year.

Initially considered a potential target for the Blaugrana, recent reports suggest a shift in the dynamics, with PSG now being touted as the frontrunners. The French champions are looking to bolster their midfield options, considering uncertainties surrounding players like Fabian Ruiz and Carlos Soler.

Chelsea have been linked with an agreement for Moscardo, but such claims have been debunked by reliable sources like Fabrizio Romano. The Blues, nevertheless, remain interested in the youngster, though the challenge lies in integrating him into their squad.
