With the transfer window barely open, PSG formalized this Monday the arrival in its ranks of the young Brazilian Lucas Beraldo, from Sao Paulo.
Not shying away from his pleasure of already being Parisian, the person concerned admits to having been influenced by his elder Marquinhos. “ 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. »
Lucas Beraldo, at the age of 20, is well aware of the Auriverde heritage that can be his in the French capital. “ 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. »

And to add in his first interview given to the official PSG media. “ I feel very well prepared. I spoke to the coach before and he also gave me a lot of confidence, and I think that was important for me. It’s a good thing to have Marquinhos as a central defense partner. I also think it can help me a lot because he speaks the same language as me. This is a big step forward in my career. »
