Corinthians’ emerging talent, Gabriel Moscardo, has captured the attention of clubs outside Brazil, drawing significant interest from Barcelona. Recent reports from GOAL indicate that Real Madrid has stepped into the mix, presenting an estimated €25 million offer for the 18-year-old midfielder.
This purported proposal was submitted in July, and Real Madrid is currently awaiting a response from Corinthians, with a potential decision looming before the upcoming January transfer window.
There’s a strong suggestion that Moscardo could soon leave Corinthians, prompting speculation about which club will secure his abilities. Widely respected across Europe, the defensive midfielder holds the potential to become a crucial player for Real Madrid in the long term.
Barcelona has also expressed considerable interest in the 18-year-old, aligning with their quest for a successor to club legend Sergio Busquets, making Moscardo an enticing prospect.
Corinthians has Moscardo under contract until the summer of 2026, with a substantial €100 million release clause. Therefore, they might demand a premium fee, potentially leading Real Madrid to reconsider their initial offer.
The final decision rests with Corinthians, and reports indicate the club is delaying any decisions until after their upcoming presidential election. The choice to accept or reject Real Madrid’s proposal might fall to the newly elected president.
