Chelsea are hoping to inflict further misery on Liverpool in the transfer market after snatching Moises Caicedo from right under their noses this summer. The Blues are reportedly set to battle it out with Liverpool for Brazilian wonderkid Gabriel Moscardo’s\u00a0signature in January.<\/p>\n

Chelsea will be confident they have a crucial advantage over their rivals in the South American market having recently brought in three starlets from across the North Atlantic Ocean. In 2023, the west Londoners completed the signings of Andrey Santos, Angelo Gabriel and Deivid Washington.<\/p>\n

Now, Todd Boehly and Co are aiming to make Moscardo their next import. But they will have to fight off stiff competition to acquire his services. It isn’t just Liverpool that are said to be keen on bringing him in.<\/p>\n

Arsenal are also keeping a close eye on Moscardo’s progress as they look to overhaul their midfield in January while Barcelona are mooted as a potential destination for the Corinthians star.<\/p>\n

Chelsea had a \u00a317.5million bid for Moscardo rejected by the Brazilian Serie A in the summer and are expected to go back in with an improved offer in the New Year. The youngster, who has played 14 times for the Corinthians first-team, is valued at around \u00a326m.<\/p>\n

Speaking after a recent 1-1 draw with Atletico Minerio\u00a0earlier this month, Moscardo gave some insight into his next steps as rumours swirl. He said:\u00a0“To tell you the truth, I have very little information. My father knows a few things, he prefers not to tell me so as not to influence my head too much, to end up taking a little bit of my focus here, he says: \u2018Here your focus is on Corinthians\u2019.<\/p>\n
