Fabrizio Romano has stated that PSG are making rapid progress in their pursuit of Leicester City trade target Lucas Beraldo.
Leicester City’s pursuit of Sao Paulo center-back Beraldo has been widely publicized. The Foxes are chasing an agreement with the 20-year-old, who is regarded as one of Brazil’s finest defensive talents.
However, it was believed in Brazil that Beraldo will head straight for an elite club rather than a stepping stone move.
Now, a new report from transfer guru Fabrizio Romano suggests that a high-profile move to a major team is possible. He claims on X that PSG, the French giants, are making rapid headway in their pursuit of the Leicester City target.
Sao Paulo desired a deal worth more than €20 million, and the Parisians are currently offering a package worth €25 million plus add-ons. Beraldo has already indicated yes to PSG as a potential destination, indicating that things are moving rapidly.
Leicester City has suffered a setback.
Leicester City’s chances of acquiring Beraldo have been dashed by Fabrizio Romano’s recent update. It may, however, not come as a surprise.
Talented, young Brazilian players are among the most sought-after in world football, and after a decent debut with Sao Paulo, Beraldo was swiftly tipped for a huge move. This latest update on PSG’s interest suggests that he’ll be heading straight for the top of the game, rather than the Championship with Leicester and Maresca.
Time will tell how the issue develops, but a move to the King Power Stadium appears improbable for the centre-back. The Foxes will now shift their focus to fresh targets, with Fabrizio Romano’s update on PSG’s Beraldo pursuit a setback for the Championship table-toppers.
