Lucas Beraldo: The Unfinished Deal with PSG, Pressure Mounts from Other Clubs

The PSG is considering recruiting two Brazilian players this winter: Gabriel Moscardo and Lucas Beraldo. However, the situation is becoming more complex, especially for Beraldo.

The central defender from Sao Paulo, Lucas Beraldo, is reported to have reached an agreement with PSG, but the deal with the club is still pending. PSG has allegedly proposed €20 million plus €5 million in bonuses, but both Zenit Saint Petersburg and Leicester are also expressing their interest.

Zenit has offered €18 million, but Sao Paulo rejected the proposal. On the other hand, Leicester is prepared to pay €20 million to secure the services of Lucas Beraldo.

However, PSG holds an advantage in this negotiation as the player has reportedly assured his club’s officials that he only wishes to join Paris. While PSG has not yet formally presented an offer, informal discussions have taken place. The club is expected to match Leicester’s €20 million, but Sao Paulo is hoping for a higher bid.

Sao Paulo is also in negotiations with Beraldo to convince him to waive a portion of the 20% ownership rights he holds. The Brazilian club is also in talks with XV de Piracicaba, the owner of the remaining 20%. Sources close to the matter suggest that the transfer could be concluded this week.
