Lucas Beraldo, the 21-year-old Brazilian defender (6 caps), has carved out a place for himself but hasn’t quite established himself as a reliable starter on big nights since joining Paris Saint-Germain in January 2024 (contract until 2028). Rumors of a desire to leave circulated last summer, and they’ve resurfaced this winter. L’Equipe reported on Wednesday that the Brazilian has indeed expressed this wish.
“It’s nothing new; the former São Paulo defender, signed in January 2024, isn’t happy with his current status. He had, notably through powerful intermediaries this summer, hinted to the Parisian management that he wanted more playing time elsewhere. This remains his mindset this autumn of 2025. And he made this very clear in recent discussions.”
We remain cautious; this is still just a rumor, not an official statement. The media can get carried away too quickly, as we’ve seen many times before. For example, the request to leave, mentioned by L’Equipe during the summer, was denied by other media outlets. Furthermore, football changes very quickly, and a consideration of leaving, even if it exists, doesn’t necessarily lead to a transfer.
But it’s not impossible either, especially since PSG might be asking themselves some questions. In particular, depending on the opportunities to recruit another top talent (Tylel Tati, the 17-year-old defender from FC Nantes, is the one mentioned in recent days). The same applies to Beraldo; a potential departure also depends on the emerging options and the offers received.”
