Corinthians midfielder Gabriel Moscardo, who has also been linked with Arsenal and Barcelona, has stated that Chelsea made an approach for him.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian outfit have had a disappointing campaign, and currently sit 11th in Serie A.<\/p>\n He has hinted that he could be tempted by a big move soon, though, offering hope to potential buyers ahead of the January transfer window opening.<\/p>\n Moscardo continued: ‘My father knows a few things, he prefers not to tell me so as not to influence my head too much, to end up taking a little bit of my focus here, he says: “Here your focus is on Corinthians”.<\/p>\n ‘Of course there\u2019s interest from various clubs, I\u2019ve also heard about it, there was strong interest from Chelsea a few months ago, but if you stop to think about where I\u2019m going now, at this moment, it\u2019s not good.<\/p>\n ‘I want to help Corinthians now to get them out of this situation. Let\u2019s wait for the season to end, there are still a few games to go, and we\u2019ll see what we can do.’<\/p>\n It’s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n
