Moscardo Reveals Luis Enrique's Crucial Role in PSG Project

The 20-year-old midfielder opened up to Mundo Deportivo about his tactical connection with the Spanish manager. Moscardo emphasized that Luis Enrique possesses an innovative vision and notices intricacies on the pitch that many others overlook, maintaining a strong bond with his squad.

Since joining the French champions from Corinthians in 2024 for a reported fee of 20 million euros, the youngster has struggled to cement his place in the starting lineup. This tactical bottleneck prompted a season-long loan deal to La Liga side Espanyol.

Moscardo remains highly grateful to the coaching staff, stating "He always showed great confidence in me, and his staff did too whenever I needed help. He was the one who recruited me when I was still playing in Brazil."

This loan spell in Spain is designed to give the technical midfielder regular first-team minutes to adapt to European football. PSG's management expects Moscardo to develop rapidly before returning to Paris to fight for a permanent spot in their high-press midfield system.
