PSG Signals Potential Departure for Lucas Beraldo

Lucas Beraldo, who joined in the winter transfer window of 2024, has made a significant impact, unlike his compatriot Gabriel Moscardo, who has faced multiple loans away from the capital. The former São Paulo player has now made nearly 70 appearances (4 goals) for the club in all competitions. His journey has been marked by victories, including two Ligue 1 titles, two Coupe de France trophies, and notably, a Champions League title followed by a UEFA Super Cup.

However, his individual performance has left something to be desired. Valued by Luis Enrique for his passing ability, the left-footer has shown both brilliance and inconsistency, with technical flashes mixed with concerning defensive lapses. Recent games have highlighted this inconsistency. He struggled against Strasbourg (3-3) and faced challenges against the attackers from Le Havre, revealing a worrying fragility. Although the new Brazilian international (5 caps) has dismissed transfer rumors, he recognizes that he is at a critical juncture in his career. With a contract running until 2028, the Parisian number 4 is no longer irreplaceable.

Sacrificed in the Transfer Market?

According to our sources, discussions are now underway within the Paris management. With only 8 Ligue 1 matches this season and no minutes in the Champions League, his status is declining. Luis Campos is aware of the player’s market value, estimated at €25 million by Transfermarkt. His transfer could significantly boost the budget for winter recruitment.

While Brazilian media reports interest from Flamengo and Palmeiras, Beraldo (22 years old) favors a move to Europe. With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, he understands the need to play at the highest level. Missing the upcoming match against Rennes due to a calf injury, the defender, who enjoys a comfortable salary in Paris, may inadvertently become a key figure in PSG’s winter transfer market activities. Stay tuned.
