Asked yesterday at a press conference about the case of Lucas Beraldo (21), on the eve of facing Lorient, Luis Enrique was full of praise for the Brazilian defender “What I'm looking for, as a coach, is to improve the team, but also individually. And in this sense, Beraldo is very young, but he has a lot of experience, a personality. He is a player that I particularly like for his ability to play with the ball and to defend intelligently. I'm happy with him. Right now, he's not playing all the games he wants, but that's how it is in this team. »
But according to The Teamthis statement from the Paris Saint-Germain coach was above all an invitation to patience to his defender. Because the latter is not happy with his status as a substitute (6 appearances this season). The Brazilian had asked to leave last summer via intermediaries and the newspaper assures that the former resident of São Paulo (under contract until 2028, editor's note) is still in the same arrangements, while the winter transfer window approaches. At a time when the Zabarnyi case is becoming more and more talked about, will PSG have a second hot potato to manage in its defense?
