“Sold”… Just now, Chelsea and the midfielder agreed to a £26 million deal

As of late, Craque Neto has asserted that Chelsea and Gabriel Moscardo had reached an agreement.

They revealed to SCCP News that, although the exact cost is unknown,

an agreement has been reached for them to acquire the highly-regarded young player.

Since they witnessed an attempt to sign Moscardo last summer fail,

Chelsea has been aggressively pursuing the player.

At the time, it was said that they had moved for a price of about £26 million,

but they were unable to seal the transaction.

There has been much talk that Chelsea is up against far stronger competition for

this young player than they had for any previous additions in this category.

According to reports, Barcelona is enamoured with the idea of the deal and

see the teenager as the player who will replace Sergio Busquets.

Nevertheless, Neto has informed SCCP news that a contract has been agreed between

the Blues and Corinthians,

suggesting that Chelsea may now have the advantage in closing a deal for Moscardo.

Although Neto did not disclose the amount,

it ought to be more than R$100 million.

Regardless of the mode of payment, this sum will be recorded on Duilio Monteiro Alves’ 2023 balance sheet.

Although the Brazilian’s skill and future are undeniable,

some fans might be perplexed by the decision to sign a different midfield player, if it is indeed true.

The Blues have players such as Romeo Lavia, Cesare Casadei,

Andrey Santos, and Lesley Ugochukwu behind Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo.

Unfortunately, the latter two are going through difficult loan periods right now,

which may have an impact on their futures at Stamford Bridge.
