The French and Brazilian teams are in talks to finalise an agreement, according to Fabrizio Romano. The player had to undergo checks before the deal could be wrapped up because the 18-year-old sustained an injury while at Corinthians. It was previously reported that PSG will pay around €20 million (£17m/$22m) to land the player.

Chelsea had been hoping to beat PSG to the signing of Moscardo but the midfielder is said to have turned the Premier League side down in favour of a move to the French capital. The move to the Ligue 1 side has appeared imminent for some time as Corinthians' president confirmed in December that he would soon be teaming up with the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Warren Zaire-Emery at the Parc des Princes.

DID YOU KNOW?

Moscardo is seen as one of Brazil's most promising players. He only made his debut for the Corinthians senior team in the Copa Libertadores in June last year and has made 25 appearances for the Brazilian team, scoring one goal.
