PSG continues to be attentive to the market for young Brazilian talents. After Gabriel Moscardo, 18-year-old Corinthians midfielder who Luis Campos went to observe in person twice, it is the turn of another hope from the country to appear on the radar of the capital club.
Since Monday evening, several local media have been reporting a pronounced interest from Paris in Lucas Beraldo (20 years old). Some are even talking about an offer already sent by PSG to try to convince its club, Sao Paulo, to accept a transfer which would exceed 20 million euros.
It is a little early to guarantee that the left-handed central defender will be Parisian within a few weeks, or even that Paris will decide to accelerate on this file more than another, but it is true that he appears in a list that the club has drawn up in case of recruitment in defense. PSG is not in unfamiliar territory in this matter, since one of the representatives is that of Marquinhos. He was also seen by Luis Campos during the last international break.
“The winter transfer window is always a very complex market because it is conditioned by the needs in terms of injuries, and because it is always difficult to find high-level players. But we are always open to improving our squad, recalled Luis Enrique at a press conference last week. This is our goal, from Luis Campos to me, the coach. »
In defense, the returns from injury of Nuno Mendes and Presnel Kimpembe are also awaited. The first, who had hamstring surgery in September, is continuing his treatment protocol and does not yet have more precise visibility on his long-awaited recovery for the month of February. It’s barely clearer for the Frenchman who has resumed sessions with the team without being sure, yet, of being able to play again in January.
Luis Campos, the talent scout, must therefore anticipate possible alterations. It is in this sense that he ticked off several names, including Lucas Beraldo, even if he also confided to several interlocutors that he might not make a recruit this winter. The Brazilian under-20 international is not a high-sounding name, he appears like a diamond in need of polishing for whom the discovery of the professional world remains very fresh. Launched last year, he now occupies an important place in the defense of Sao Paulo with whom he won a first Brazilian Cup several weeks ago.
