Why PSG Recruited Lucas Beraldo: Luis Enrique Explains

Lucas Beraldo, the young Brazilian defender, is joining PSG to strengthen the left axis. Luis Enrique explains the reason behind the recruitment.

With Lucas Hernandez, Nuno Mendes, Milan Skriniar, and Presnel Kimpembe, the left side potentially seems well-covered. However, PSG has added Lucas Beraldo to the mix. Is it a curious signing? Not at all. « He is the first player of this transfer window, and he was able to train. We saw a bit of what we already knew. We always try to have the most information about a player, » said Luis Enrique.

« There is a very important component, and that is that we want players to have a fighter’s mentality, to be professionals who take care of their daily lives, and Lucas Beraldo checks all the boxes. He is a very interesting player for the future. »

« Nuno and Kimpembe will recover. The recruitment of Beraldo is more in response to opportunities we see in players. It’s a difficult transfer window, but we’ve seen that Beraldo can help the team from the first minute despite his youth. He is calm, and there is no rush. »
