Loan Moves to Portugal, Denmark and France
Brazilian midfielder Gabriel Moscardo will join Portuguese side Braga on loan, seeking regular first-team action. French full-back Yoram Zague has been sent to Copenhagen in Denmark, while Moroccan defender Naoufel El Hannach will spend the season at Montpellier in Ligue 1.
Permanent Departures
PSG also confirmed the exits of French defender Axel Tape, Portuguese goalkeeper Louis Mouquet, and French defender Vimoj Wa Mungu. Midfielder Ayman Kari has likewise left the club to continue his career away from the Parc des Princes.
Strategy Behind the Changes
