Since the arrival of Deco as sporting director, Barça has turned more and more towards young Brazilian talents. After Vitor Roque and Gabriel Moscardo, it is now central defender Lucas Beraldo who is of interest to Catalan recruiters.
Aged only 19, the player has been playing for São Paulo since 2020 and has quickly established himself in the first team with already 42 appearances.
An imposing left-footer, Beraldo stands out for his reading of the game and his good ball technique. Qualities which allow him to be one of the revelations of his training club.

Under contract until 2026, the Brazilian could see his future written in Europe in the months to come. According to information from journalist Gabriel Sá, Barcelona would closely monitor his progress and could make an offer at the end of the year.
However, the Paulista club does not intend to easily part with its jewel. To secure the services of Beraldo, they will have to pay a substantial sum estimated at 15 million euros.
Journalist Jorge Nicola also discusses Brighton’s interest in the Premier League. If the central defender has a release clause set at 60 million in his contract, São Paulo could accept a lower offer for his departure.
