Gabriel Moscardo Nears Loan Move to Espanyol

Overview

• Multiple outlets reported on Wednesday that PSG and RCD Espanyol have advanced talks to send 20-year-old Gabriel Moscardo to Barcelona on a season-long loan.
• Sources say the deal is likely to exclude a purchase option, a detail repeated by Brazilian and Spanish press but not yet confirmed by either club.
• Moscardo joined PSG from Corinthians in January 2024 for a reported €20 million plus up to €2 million in bonuses and has not played an official minute for PSG under coach Luis Enrique.
• Last season he made 39 appearances for Braga, scored once and was used as a central defender late in the campaign, showing positional versatility.
• If finalised the move would be Moscardo's third straight loan after spells at Reims and Braga, a pathway PSG has used to develop him while retaining his rights.
