Lucas Beraldo is set to join PSG for €20 million.
According to ESPN, So Paulo defender Lucas Beraldo is close to joining Paris Saint-Germain in a €20 million transfer.
Beraldo, 20, will join PSG when the transfer window opens in January, bolstering coach Luis Enrique’s defensive options ahead of the season’s second half.
According to sources, the transfer does not include any bonuses and will only be completed if the player passes a medical examination.
Beraldo has been linked with a move to Liverpool as well.
The Brazil under-20 international will join a PSG team that is currently atop Ligue 1 and aiming for a third consecutive league title. The French club has also been drawn to face Real Sociedad in the round of 16 of the Champions League.
Beraldo’s arrival will add to PSG’s summer roster overhaul, which has included Randal Kolo Muani, Bradley Barcola, Ousmane Dembélé, Goncalo Ramos, and Lucas Hernández. Meanwhile, Lionel Messi, Neymar, Sergio Ramos, and Mauro Icardi have all left the club ahead of the 2023-24 season.
