PSG set to dip into market for new midfielder as Gabriel Moscardo signing set to be deferred | OneFootball

Gabriel Moscardo (18) had looked all set to join Paris Saint-Germain this month, however, a foot injury was flagged in his medical. The Brazilian’s arrival now looks set to be deferred, and in the meantime, another midfield recruit will be targeted in this transfer window, according to L’Équipe.

Moscardo arrived in Paris, alongside new signing Lucas Beraldo (20) on Friday. Whilst the latter successfully completed his medical and has been officially confirmed as a new signing by Les Parisiens, the former’s medical did not go to plan.

PSG to move for Kalvin Phillips?

As Moscardo himself confirmed, an injury to his right foot was detected and surgery is required. He will undergo surgery in Doha and will likely be absent for around three months.

Whilst Moscardo’s move to PSG is not in doubt, it will nonetheless be deferred. He will likely arrive in the summer. In the meantime, PSG will dip back into the market for a midfielder, according to L’Équipe. The publication does not reveal any potential targets, however, The Telegraph have reported that Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips is a key target for Les Parisiens.
