Speaking in an exclusive interview with Mundo Deportivo, the 20-year-old midfielder reflected on the moment he discovered interest from the Ligue 1 heavyweights. Moscardo revealed that his agent approached him during the high-stakes final matches of the Brazilian season with Corinthians, delivering the news that PSG sporting director Luis Campos was flying to Brazil.
The scouted prodigy, who has now been loaned out to La Liga outfit RCD Espanyol for the upcoming campaign, recalled the immense pressure he faced to secure the move. Moscardo stated that his agent told him the deal was almost done but warned he still had to prove his worth on the pitch before any contracts were signed.

Rising to the occasion under intense scrutiny, the defensive midfielder delivered two outstanding performances that solidified his move to Europe. "I played two incredible games and they signed me," Moscardo explained, highlighting how his on-field execution directly matched the lofty tactical expectations set by the French champions.
The transfer was not without drama, as negotiations nearly collapsed due to a financial dispute between the club presidents over the final valuation. However, the contractual gridlock was ultimately broken just before the new year, with Moscardo confirming that his agent finalized the paperwork on December 27, 2023, to seal the deal.
