Arriving during the 2024 winter window, Lucas Beraldo has managed to find a place in the sun, unlike his compatriot Gabriel Moscardo, who arrived at the same time but who has a series of loans far from the capital. The former SĂŁo Paulo player has now made almost 70 appearances (4 goals) in the red and blue tunic in all competitions. A journey marked by collective successes: two French championship titles, two French Cups, and above all a Champions League followed by a European Super Cup.

However, the individual assessment leaves a taste of unfinished business. Appreciated by Luis Enrique for his quality of recovery, the left-hander alternates between the good and the less good, capable of technical flashes as well as worrying defensive air gaps. His recent releases illustrate this paradox. Feverish against Strasbourg (3-3) and in great difficulty against the Le Havre attackers, Beraldo displayed a guilty fragility. Although the new Brazilian international (5 caps) has denied the rumors of departure, he knows he is at a turning point. Under contract until 2028, the Parisian number 4 is no longer untouchable.

Sacrificed on the altar of the transfer window?

According to our information, reflection is now open within the Parisian staff. With only 8 Ligue 1 matches this season and no minutes in the Champions League, his status is crumbling. Luis Campos is aware that the player maintains good odds: estimated at €25 million per Transfermarktits transfer would significantly increase the envelope dedicated to winter recruitment.

If the Brazilian press already mentions the interests of Flamengo and Palmeiras, Beraldo (22 years old) would favor Europe. With the 2026 World Cup in his sights, he knows he must play at the highest level. Forfeited for the match against Rennes this weekend (calf pain), the defender, who has a very comfortable salary in Paris, risks livening up PSG’s winter transfer window in spite of himself… To be continued.
