The 18-year-old has been the subject of interest from both Chelsea and Manchester United.
Corinthians are demanding a fee of £21m for Moscardo.
Chelsea have already seen a £17m offer turned down by the Brazilian club.
And Foot Mercato claim PSG now look set to beat the Blues to the signing with the club preparing to meet Corinthians’ asking price.

Moscardo reportedly prefers a move to PSG rather than Chelsea.
The midfielder believes he is more likely to get playing time in Paris due to the amount of options the Blues have in the centre of the pitch.
Mauricio Pochettino has Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, Conor Gallagher, Romeo Lavia, Lesley Ugochukwu and Carney Chukwuemeka all at his disposal.
Chelsea would also not be able to loan Moscardo out in January as the club have already used up their maximum of seven international loan spots.
