Chelsea have been one of the biggest spenders in this transfer window. The arrivals of Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia came with hefty fees, but the London outfit are not just investing in their present squad. Fabrizio Romano, quoting Bruno Andrade, has reported that the Blues are looking to sign Gabriel Moscardo.

Chelsea Bid for Corinthians Player Gabriel Moscardo
Corinthians Name Their Price
According to the Italian journalist, Chelsea have already made their first bid for 17-year-old Moscardo, described on the update from Romano as a “signing for the future.” This is his first season in professional football, but he has already caught the attention of one of the biggest clubs in Europe.
Corinthians want over £21 million for Moscardo. It would be a record sale for the club if finalised. Negotiations are still ongoing, but it is likely that the teenager will be loaned out following his arrival at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea Season So Far
Following a horrid campaign where they finished mid-table in the Premier League, Chelsea have begun the current campaign with one win, one draw and one loss.
The slew of signings has given Stamford Bridge faithful hopes of a more promising campaign. Transfers, such as that of Cole Palmer from Manchester City, will provide a boost for the team. But for now, Chelsea will try to complete the signing of Moscardo, who could one day lead the team along with fellow Brazilians Andrey Santos and Deivid Washington.
