Paris Saint-Germain reshapes squad with Moscardo loan to Espanyol and Barcola transfer saga

Paris Saint-Germain confirmed the season‑long loan of 20‑year‑old Brazilian midfielder Gabriel Moscardo to LaLiga side RCD Espanyol. The move follows two previous loans – first to Corinthians and then to Reims and Braga – and includes no purchase option. Moscardo remains under contract with PSG until 2028.

At the same time, PSG’s French winger Bradley Barcola, 23, is the subject of intense transfer speculation. Reports cite Liverpool and Arsenal as interested parties, with Liverpool reportedly having the player at the top of their shortlist. PSG has indicated it would only consider a sale for a fee well above the €135 million paid for Manchester City’s Elliot Anderson, and contract talks with Barcola are reportedly stalled.

Both developments highlight PSG’s active summer market strategy, involving player development through loans and potential high‑value departures.
