Arriving in January 2024 at Paris Saint-Germain, Lucas Beraldo quickly found playing time there. But over the months, his importance in the rotation put in place by Luis Enrique has only diminished. Almost two years later, the Brazilian is starting to get annoyed by his situation and his meager playing time. What is the reason to consider a departure during the next winter transfer window?
One thing is clear: it is not the player who has the upper hand since he is under contract with PSG until June 2028. On the other hand, discussions between the two parties cannot be ruled out, especially as the 2026 World Cup is looming and the Auriverde defender does not want to miss the event. With playing time as short as his currently in Paris, he may fear for his place in the selection.
In its columns, The Team raised the matter this Wednesday. The sports daily confirmed that Luis Enrique was particularly disappointed with the player's performance during the draw conceded on October 17 against Strasbourg (3-3). Since then, Lucas Beraldo has lost further credit and now finds himself in fifth position in the hierarchy of central defenders.
Lucas Beraldo is losing patience at PSG
The Parisian coach was also questioned on Tuesday about his player, while Paris travels to Lorient this evening (7 p.m.).
“I’m happy with him. Right now he's not playing as much as he would like. That's how it is today. It's difficult to be an important player for PSG at the moment. » Lucas Beraldo will have received the message: patience and work. But according to the media, the former Sao Paulo player will come knocking on Luis Campos' door this winter if nothing changes.
With two and a half years left on his contract, the Brazilian will not be in a strong position in the event of discussions for a possible permanent departure or on loan. But perhaps he will get some playing time back by then.
