The new PSG recruit did not take Hugo Ekitike’s number, contrary to what a photo published on social networks might suggest.
On Thursday, Paris Saint-Germain formalized the signing of Gabriel Moscardo. The 18-year-old Brazilian midfielder has signed with the capital team until 2028. He will be loaned to Corinthians, his current club, until the end of the season.
Shortly after this formalization, the young player found himself at the heart of a controversy due to a photo showing him with the number 44, today attributed to Hugo Ekitike. An additional clue that could suggest that the former Rémois will leave the Rouge et Bleu in the coming days, before the end of the winter transfer window. However, it was Gabriel Moscardo’s friends who gave him this jersey number. Moreover, on a video of the player’s presentation, we can see that he wears the number 20 on his shorts.
For the moment, Moscardo does not have a number assigned to PSG. Among the Corinthians, the midfielder has worn and will wear No. 44… I have the impression that his friends gave him a little gift with a 44 Psg jersey to celebrate his signing… 🎁 @francebleuparis #fbsport
