Chelsea make contact with £26m player’s camp, he’s eager to leave current club

Chelsea have now made initial contact with Corinthians midfielder Gabriel Moscardo.

That is according to a report from TEAMtalk.

Gabriel Moscardo, who’s still only 18, is a young rising talent making quite the name for himself.

There’s now a lot of speculation that Brazilian giants Corinthians could lose him to European football, though.

Chelsea contact
TEAMtalk claims today that the likes of Chelsea, Barcelona and Liverpool are among the top European clubs interested in signing Moscardo. In fact, almost every elite club has at least watched the Corinthians star.

It is understood that Spanish giants Barcelona are extremely keen on securing a deal for the Brazilian teenager, so they may be the interested buyer to beat in this transfer race.

The report details that Chelsea have now actually made contact with Moscardo’s camp to discuss potential conditions of a transfer. He’s a young talent that does tick every box in the transfer market for the owners at Stamford Bridge.

In addition, Corinthians have put a £26million valuation on him because they want to make him their most expensive sale ever.

Gabriel Moscardo very popular
There’s a long queue of clubs lining up for this South American prospect, with the report above mentioning Fulham and Everton as two more sides scouting him recently.

Will the defensive midfielder be the next to join the Chelsea project, though?

Brazilian youngsters Angelo Gabriel and Andrey Santos both moved to Stamford Bridge in the past year, so perhaps Moscardo should contact them for a word of advice.
