Arrived at PSG with great ambitions, Lucas Beraldo could already pack his bags. The Brazilian defender is at the heart of many transfer rumors, particularly towards Chelsea.
Lucas Beraldo already pushed towards the exit at PSG?
Paris Saint-Germain’s victory against Stade Rennais was overshadowed by another worrying performance from Lucas Beraldo. Starting on the left side in the absence of Nuno Mendes, the former Sao Paulo defender delivered a performance well below expectations, highlighting the fragilities of the Parisian defense.
Guilty of a hand and a foul leading to a penalty, Lucas Beraldo was constantly overwhelmed by the liveliness of Ludovic Blas. His difficulties highlighted the importance of Nuno Mendes in the Parisian system. At the same time, the successful integration of Willian Pacho into the defensive axis has reinforced doubts about the future of the 20-year-old Brazilian international.
So much so that the leaders of Chelsea are already pointing their noses at trying to secure the services of the compatriot of Marquinhos. But we will also have to convince Paris SG to let him leave.
Paris SG ready to let Lucas Beraldo go?
This Wednesday, Chelsea specialist Simon Phillips, via Substackrevealed that the Blues would still be interested in Lucas Beraldo. After attempting a loan during the summer, the London club would consider returning to the charge in 2025 and hopes to be able to attract the native of Piracicaba if Paris Saint-Germain were to recruit in this sector of play.
However, it will be difficult for Chelsea to complete a deal unless Beraldo’s playing time is significantly reduced by manager Luis Enrique. Lucas Beraldo has played six matches this season with PSG, including five as a starter.
In central defense, however, he goes behind Marquinhos and Pacho. Under contract with PSG until the summer of 2028, the young Brazilian is among Chelsea’s priority targets, as is his compatriot Murillo who plays at Nottingham Forest.
