Paris Saint-Germain’s new recruit, Lucas Beraldo, has spoken about one of the reasons that pushed him to sign for Paris.
The transfer of Brazilian central defender Lucas Beraldo was made official by Paris Saint-Germain within hours of the opening of the January window. After having passed the traditional medical examination on Friday, the “joker”, as he is nicknamed, revealed a key factor which pushed him to choose Paris.

We thus learn that the presence in the ranks of PSG of his compatriot Marquinhos played a big role in his signing. “ I had already given interviews in Brazil to say that I dreamed of playing alongside him. I imagined playing with him for the Brazilian national team, but God gave me the opportunity to play alongside him every day at Paris Saint-Germain. I think that weighed heavily in my choice. »
Beraldo is also very happy to perpetuate the tradition of Brazilian stars at PSG: “Yes, there are many Brazilian players who have played in this jersey and who have been very important, like Marquinhos, who is now the captain, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, and all the others. The best Brazilian central defenders have passed through here and I think that played a role in my decision to come. »
