Chelsea want to sign PSG first-team player, says report

Chelsea have shown interest in signing one of PSG’s young prospects, who has quickly secured a spot in Luis Enrique’s starting XI.

Chelsea remain interested in Paris Saint-Germain young defender Lucas Beraldo, according to a recent report from Fichajes.

Despite the fact that PSG secured the Brazilian’s signature in the January transfer window, the Blues have continued to monitor his development closely and are reportedly considering making another attempt to sign the 20-year-old.

The Brazilian centre-back has caught the eye of several European clubs thanks to his impressive performances in Ligue 1.

Beraldo, who came through the youth ranks at Sao Paulo, has quickly established himself in PSG’s first team. Since his arrival, he has made 30 appearances and scored two goals, playing an important role for the Parisian side.

His performances have not only been vital for PSG but have also earned him a place in the Brazilian national team, where he has already won three caps. This rapid rise has attracted the attention of Chelsea scouts, who see him as a perfect candidate to bolster their defence in the near future.

Chelsea's interest in Beraldo makes sense, particularly given the struggles their backline has faced in recent times. Players like Benoit Badiashile have failed to cement their place in the first team, prompting the London club to explore alternative options to strengthen their defence.

However, prising Beraldo away from PSG will not be easy. The French champions regard him as a key figure in their future defensive plans.

Despite the challenges, Chelsea could make an offer next year, aware that securing a young and talented defender like Beraldo would be a significant asset to their Premier League ambitions.

Lucas Beraldo seems to have the trust of Luis Enrique, often being deployed as a left-back due to the stiff competition in central defence, where William Pacho, Marquinhos, and Milan Skriniar are all vying for positions.

It's uncertain how much Beraldo enjoys playing as a full-back and whether this could influence his future, but what we do know is that, as far as Luis Enrique is concerned, the Brazilian will remain with the team based at Parc des Princes.
