Paris Saint-Germain has finalized the transfer of talented center-back Lucas Beraldo from Sao Paulo.
At just 20 years old, he made a significant impact at Sao Paulo in 2023, catching the eye of top European clubs, including Liverpool and Bayern Munich, who closely monitored his development.
Beraldo, who has signed a five-year contract, said:
“I am very happy to join a Club as ambitious as Paris Saint-Germain.
This is an important step in my career, which will help me progress.
I can’t wait to get to know my new teammates and take my first steps in this jersey.”

Beraldo was expected to be followed through the door by another Brazilian talent, Gabriel Moscardo.
Paris Saint-Germain have struck a deal to sign the 18-year-old Corinthians midfielder ahead of both Chelsea and Barcelona, but an injury has provided a late obstacle to the move.
Moscardo’s PSG medical raised concerns about a foot injury and the teenager has since confirmed he will head under the knife.
“After recent tests, it seems necessary to carry out this preventive operation, which should keep me away from the field for the next three months,” Moscardo wrote on social media.
“This will allow me to come back stronger and pursue my career dream.”
Paris Saint-Germain are understood to be happy to finalise the move for Moscardo but may now delay the announcement.
