Lucas Beraldo could become one of the key pieces in the next defensive project of Atlético de Madrid. The young Brazilian center-back, currently with PSG, doesn't have the trust of Luis Enrique, who has given him little prominence since his arrival on the Parisian bench, and when he has played, he hasn't been as decisive as expected. This situation has sparked the interest of the rojiblanco team, which is looking for reinforcements for its defense in the face of a demanding season.
Lucas Beraldo, on Atlético de Madrid's list
The 21-year-old defender landed in Paris with high expectations after shining in Brazilian football, but his adaptation has not been as expected. Despite his talent and good ball distribution, opportunities have been scarce, leading those around him to seriously consider a departure. In this context, Atlético has emerged strongly as a possible destination, attracted by his physical profile, youth, and room for improvement.
Diego Simeone needs to rejuvenate his defensive line and has given the green light to the addition of a center-back with potential who can grow in the competitive environment of the colchonero club. Beraldo fits into that idea: he is fast, with a good reading of the game, and does not shy away from physical challenges. Additionally, his competitive spirit and ability to take on responsibilities despite his young age are aspects appreciated by the coaching staff.
The operation will depend on the conditions imposed by PSG, who would not frown upon a loan with a purchase option or even a transfer if the offer is convincing. Preliminary contacts have already begun at the Metropolitano, and they hope to advance in the discussions in the coming weeks. The player, on his side, would be willing to seek a change of scenery to get the minutes he has not had in the French capital.
