Liverpool are closely following young Brazilian central defender Lucas Beraldo who is playing for São Paulo. The information comes from the 90min website.
Only 20 years old, Beraldo has emerged this season as one of the most promising young talents in Brazil. He was a key part of São Paulo’s Copa do Brasil victory, starting both victorious finals against Flamengo.

Endowed with a good recovery and an ability to progress with the ball, Beraldo quickly established himself as an indisputable starter in the Tricolor rearguard. His performances caught the eye of European recruiters, including Wolverhampton who saw an offer turned down during the summer.
Liverpool have been closely following the development of the left-footed defender for several months. With Matip and Van Dijk aged 32, the Reds are looking for long-term successors for the position.
Beraldo would have the advantage of being the club’s first left-back option. Faced with growing interest, particularly from teams like Bayern Munich, Olympique Lyonnais and AS Monaco, São Paulo negotiated a new contract, now valid until 2028.
