However, he has chosen to join PSG.##NAJAVA_MECA_7759273##Since making his professional debut in July 2022, Lucas Beraldo has played 52 matches with Sao Paulo’s first team, winning the Copa do Brasil last September. Former defender Miranda, who notably played for Atletico Madrid and Inter, was impressed by the young player’s talent. “Beraldo hadn’t even played professional football, but I’ve seen this kid will be better than me.” In recent weeks, the name of Leny Yoro (18 years old) was linked to PSG for the upcoming summer transfer window, but the Lille OSC defender is likely to stay with the Dogues. Alongside the negotiations for Lucas Beraldo, Paris is also reportedly close to reaching a total agreement with Corinthians for the transfer of Gabriel Moscardo.
