Paris St Germain have signed Brazilian teenager Gabriel Moscardo from Corinthians for an initial £17million.

The 18-year-old midfielder has put pen to paper on deal which ties him to the French champions until 2028 but will return to Corinthians on loan for the remainder of this season.

Corinthians announced on their official website that PSG would pay an initial 20 million euros (£17m) for their home-grown player, with a possible extra two million euros in performance-related bonuses.
