Lucas Beraldo, the 22-year-old Brazilian defender/midfielder, has carved out a spot for himself since arriving at Paris Saint-Germain in January 2024 (on a contract running until 2028), though he hasn’t quite established himself as a rock-solid starter for the biggest matches. Various rumors have circulated in recent months, and PSG Inside Actus reported this Sunday that Newcastle has made a bid for the Brazilian.
“Paris is reportedly no longer looking to sell.”
Paris Saint-Germain has reportedly received an initial €30 million offer from Newcastle for Beraldo.
According to reports, PSG’s management immediately rejected the proposal, believing the Brazilian is becoming increasingly important to Luis Enrique’s project.
The Spanish manager is even considering using him more in midfield next season—a role that could perfectly suit his attributes.
The English club is reportedly weighing up a higher offer, but at this stage, Paris is no longer looking to sell.
It is a relatively credible report, given that Beraldo possesses the qualities to attract interest and offers from other clubs. His status as a backup player could even be viewed as an opportunity for a bigger role elsewhere. However, a departure from PSG seemed most likely when he was playing primarily as a defender with limited minutes and mixed performances.
The situation changed once he moved up the pitch—initially as a stop-gap measure. Beraldo has demonstrated impressive qualities, particularly a fluid style of play highlighted by coach Luis Enrique. The Brazilian even earned playing time in the Champions League, featuring in both the semi-finals and the final.
There is every reason to continue exploring this option with a young player who still has room to grow. Beraldo might also view this as a chance to develop and potentially reclaim a spot in the Brazil national team. Of course, the transfer market moves fast and nothing is certain, but a sale would come as quite a surprise.
