Chelsea's interest in Corinthians midfielder Gabriel Moscardo has been reported on over the past few weeks. Earlier this week, it was claimed that the Blues have made a new offer after the previous €25m bid was rejected.

The Brazilian club will take their time until the end of the month to respond as they are in the middle of presidential elections now.
However, the 18-year-old has already spilled the beans — without saying about his long-term future.
“I can confirm that there was interest from Chelsea [a] few months ago, strong interest… but I want to help Corinthians get out of this situation,” Moscardo said, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano.
“To tell you the truth, I have very little information, my father knows a few things.”
Corinthians are currently 14th in Serie A and are at a serious risk of getting relegated.
