PSG – Suspected tumour: Moscardo’s shocking comments | OneFootball

Loaned to Braga this season, Gabriel Moscardo returned to Terra, relayed by L’Equipe, on a significant episode of his young career, which occurred just before his signing with Paris Saint-Germain. An anomaly detected in his foot during medical examinations once raised fears of the worst. A rare testimony that sheds light on the extreme pressure surrounding high-level transfers.

“They thought of cancer”

In a football world where every medical detail can sway a transfer, Gabriel Moscardo briefly saw his future hanging on an MRI. The exam, conducted as part of the tests preceding his signing with Paris Saint-Germain, revealed a worrying anomaly in the foot, to the point that doctors mentioned a possible cancer. The Brazilian midfielder describes a brutal, almost unreal shock, at a time when his career seemed to be taking a major turn.

This was followed by a series of additional examinations, experienced as an endless wait, before the final diagnosis came: no tumor, just a simple bone fragility. The agreement between Paris and his club was then able to be finalized for around 20 million euros. An episode that reminds us how, behind the figures and sporting projections, players remain exposed to immense psychological pressure, often invisible.

This testimony also highlights a rarely mentioned reality: for young players, a signing is not just about a contract or a sports project. It comes with intrusive examinations, colossal financial stakes, and a silent fear of seeing everything collapse in a few hours, away from the spotlight.
