Gabriel Moscardo, the 18-year-old Brazilian midfielder, is gearing up for his new life at Paris Saint-Germain. Transferred to PSG last January, Moscardo was immediately loaned back to his former club, Corinthians.

Although he hasn't seen much action on the field due to a foot surgery and club issues, Moscardo has been busy preparing for his Parisian debut.

During his six-month loan in Brazil, Moscardo took the time to enhance his French language skills. He enrolled in French classes and, despite his limited playing time, he has made significant strides in mastering the language. In a PSG-produced feature, his French proficiency is notably impressive.

While his grammar and syntax may occasionally falter, his vocabulary and overall comprehension are well-developed. This effort to learn French reflects his dedication to easing his transition to Paris.

Now, the young Brazilian faces the crucial task of impressing PSG's head coach, Luis Enrique. Enrique is currently evaluating Moscardo's potential and how he fits into the team's plans. Despite his efforts off the field, Moscardo’s future at PSG will largely depend on his performance in training and matches.

Interestingly, the Catalan press has taken notice of Moscardo's arrival, particularly because he was once a target for FC Barcelona and its sporting director, Deco. PSG managed to secure his signing, adding to the intrigue surrounding the young player.

Luis Enrique's assessment will determine whether Moscardo remains with the team or if a loan move to another European club will be necessary. His position at PSG might also be influenced by the future of Manuel Ugarte. If Ugarte stays, Moscardo could find himself competing for a spot, potentially leading to a loan move. For now, Moscardo continues to impress in training, while Ugarte enjoys his break, with Manchester United still expressing interest in him.
