PSG now set to sign Brazilian duo after reports Liverpool wanted both
PSG have reportedly struck an agreement to sign Brazilian wonderkids Gabriel Moscardo and Lucas Beraldo, who were both eyed by Liverpool.
The French giants have seemingly won the race for the South American duo, who heading into the January transfer window were both reportedly wanted by Liverpool.
Beraldo, a young defender from Sao Paulo, and Moscardo, a midfielder from Corinthians, are both regarded as two of the most exciting talents coming out of Brazil this year.
And now, according to journalist Santi Aouna, the pair will be swapping Brazil for Paris, with Liverpool set to miss out on Moscardo and Beraldo in January.
With the Reds in the market for a defender and a midfielder, the duo heading to PSG is a major blow for Liverpool’s transfer plans heading into next month.
However, given how young the two players are, Liverpool could be playing it safe in January and are looking to sign a defender and midfielder who have a bit more experience than Moscardo and Beraldo.
Liverpool could regret letting PSG sign Gabriel Moscardo and Lucas Beraldo
Given how young Moscardo and Berlado are, there’s no telling how much the duo will develop in the coming years with PSG.
Yet if the pair hit the ground running, Liverpool regret allowing the French giants to win the race for the youngsters next month.
Although Liverpool could bring in two exciting signings of their own, there’s nothing quite like a Brazilian wonderkid hitting the biggest heights in Europe, let alone two.
And that could be the case for Moscardo and Beraldo at PSG, who seem to be putting a lot of faith in the duo in the years to come.

Tottenham now in talks to sign £35m defender who Liverpool also want to sign
Tottenham are reportedly in talks to sign OGC Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo, with Liverpool also believed to be interested in the centre-back.
The north London side have held discussions with the £35m-rated Ligue 1 star with Todibo one of the stars of the season in France having led Nice to a historic start in the top-flight.
And as a result, interest is now high in Todibo, with Liverpool one of many Premier League sides linked with signing the former FC Barcelona wonderkid.
However, according to the Daily Mail, Tottenham are the side who are now leading the charge for Todibo, with Spurs looking to make at least three signings in January.
Indeed, news of Tottenham accelerating their talks to sign Todibo will come as a blow for Liverpool, who they themselves are also looking to add to their defensive ranks next month.
And Todibo would have been an incredible signing, with the French international the sort of talent who would thrive at Anfield for many years to come.
Liverpool missing out on Jean-Clair Todibo to Tottenham is a big blow
Whilst Liverpool’s interest in Todibo hasn’t been as strong as other clubs, seeing the defender join Tottenham would be viewed as a huge blow for supporters.
The centre-back has been part of one of the best defences in Europe this season, with Todibo on course to become one of the best in his position at his current developmental rate.
And for Liverpool, seeing the Frenchman sign for Tottenham could lead to regrets from the higher-ups at Anfield in the months to come.
Whilst there are clearly other defensive targets out there for Liverpool, missing out on Todibo could come back to bite the Reds if the youngster goes on to impress in north London with Tottenham.
The Reds were heavily reported with a swoop for the 22-year-old star in the summer, with links continuing heading into next month’s January transfer window.
Valued at £34m, Andre has enjoyed a sensational year with Fluminense, who are currently at this year’s FIFA Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia alongside Manchester City.
However, according to Mundo Deportivo, Liverpool could miss out on Andre as Barcelona have begun to intensify their interest in signing the Brazilian international.
As per the report, sporting director Deco has good connections with Fluminese, which could make a deal for Andre easy to pull off for Barcelona next month.
And for Liverpool, their quest to sign Andre could come to and end if Barcelona end up using all their resources to sign the 22-year-old sensation in the January window.
Liverpool could be helpless in Barcelona signing Andre Trindade
Although Fulham are also in contention to sign Andre, the 22-year-old will certainly be set on a move to Catalonia if Barcelona were to make an acceptable offer for the Fluminense star.
As for Liverpool, the time is now to move on from Andre, who for some weeks has seemingly looked eager to move anywhere by Anfield in the January transfer window.
Arsenal are reportedly assessing if Jorginho will be fit enough to face Liverpool this weekend in what will be a mammoth Premier League clash.
The Italian international didn’t feature for the Gunners on Sunday in their 2-0 win against Brighton & Hove Albion, which sent Arsenal to the top of the standings.
And according to the Evening Standard, the north London side are now keeping tabs on Jorginho’s fitness, with the £12m signing from Chelsea a potential doubt for Arsenal heading to Liverpool.
Lauded by TNT Sports pundit Lucy Ward as ‘brilliant’, Jorginho has impressed when given a chance this season to feature for Arsenal in both the Premier League and UEFA Champions League.
And the midfielder missing this weekend’s clash against Liverpool could be a major blow for Arsenal, who know that they’ll have to win if they’re to keep their title bid alive.
As for the Reds, seeing Jorginho absent from Saturday’s fixture will be a small boost for Jurgen Klopp’s side, who themselves are running low on fit players who can play in midfield.

Whilst Arsenal have seemingly struck gold with a midfield three of Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard, having Jorginho out will be a blow for the Gunners.
And for Liverpool, the Italian missing out could give the Reds a good chance at returning to winning ways at Anfield against one of their Premier League title rivals.
Indeed, Jorginho has been impressive for Arsenal this season, and losing that option in the squad could be massively beneficial for Liverpool in their bid to win all three points on Saturday.
