Arsenal has turned its attention to Corinthians’ rising star, 18-year-old midfielder Gabriel Moscardo, who has captured the interest of the Gunners. Edu, Arsenal’s technical director, sees Moscardo as a fitting option for the club’s desired profile in the transfer market, according to CaughtOffside.
Despite the promising prospect’s intention to move to Europe, Arsenal faces tough competition from Chelsea and Barcelona, with the former maintaining “constant contact” and the latter receiving praise for Moscardo from Deco. Liverpool is also reportedly monitoring the young talent.
Corinthians has set an initial price of £25 million for Moscardo, aligning with Arsenal’s need to strengthen the midfield, especially with uncertainties around Thomas Partey’s fitness and potential transfer rumors in the upcoming January window.
Moscardo, who made his senior debut in June and is a Brazil Under-23 international, is recognized as one of the best defensive midfield prospects globally. His attributes include athleticism, dribbling ability, tackling proficiency, anticipation, technical security, dueling skills, and press resistance, making him stand out in his age group.
Described as “the future of Brazil’s midfield,” Moscardo’s exceptional defensive awareness and situational understanding showcase maturity beyond his years. As Arsenal contemplates midfield reinforcements, securing Moscardo’s services may pose a significant challenge given the intense competition.
The coming weeks will determine the trajectory of Moscardo’s career, with the possibility of a major move to Europe. Arsenal must navigate strategically amid competition from top clubs to secure the emerging midfield talent’s services.
