PSG defender Lucas Beraldo pushing for summer exit

Paris Saint-Germain centre-back Lucas Beraldo has informed the Ligue 1 giants he wants to leave this summer (h/t L’Equipe).

The Brazilian moved to the French capital from Sao Paulo in January 2024 but has struggled to become a regular for Luis Enrique’s side.

Beraldo featured in 25 games in Ligue 1 last season but was mostly on the bench in the Champions League, with Willian Pacho and Marquinhos the first-choice centre-back pairing.

He played in the Club World Cup final last night, where PSG suffered a crushing 3-0 defeat against Chelsea.

With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, Beraldo needs prominent game time to increase his chances of securing a place in Brazil’s squad.

Les Parisiens are open to selling the Brazilian youngster if they find a suitable replacement in the transfer market.

They will not entertain offers for anything less than €30 million.

PSG have been working on defensive reinforcements in this transfer window as they look to continue their dominance this season.

Bournemouth centre-back Illia Zabarnyi has been earmarked as a top target, but negotiations have stalled.

There is a significant gap in the final transfer fee, and Les Parisiens are unwilling to succumb to Bournemouth’s demands.

PSG may look for alternatives if a deal for the Ukrainian international doesn’t materialise. Mario Gila is among the options, but Lazio are steadfast in keeping him.
