According to Le10Sport, manager Luis Enrique is delighted with the young defender, who was acquired for €20 million and has earned a spot in the starting lineup, capitalizing on the injuries of some teammates, including Marquinhos.

"What I like most about him is his intelligence in reading the game. He is very composed on the ball and makes passes at the heart of the game which gives us superiority. Off the ball, he's also very clever," said the former Barcelona and Roma coach.
"Being smart is crucial when facing faster or stronger attackers. He has a personality, undoubtedly. We are thrilled to have him. He is a great find by Luis Campos," he added, referring to the club's sporting director.
Beraldo's quick adaptation and impressive performances have solidified his place in the team and earned praise from his coach, showcasing his potential to become a key player for PSG in the seasons to come.
