Brazilian defender Lucas Beraldo has become a sought-after talent in Europe, with both Liverpool and Arsenal actively pursuing his signature.
Beraldo is rapidly gaining recognition as a rising star in Brazil, showcasing his skills as a 20-year-old regular for Sau Paulo. His impressive performances have garnered attention not only from domestic admirers but also from clubs in the highly competitive Premier League and beyond.
Earlier reports suggested Tottenham are interest in securing Beraldo’s services, but a recent update from TuttoJuve indicates that both Liverpool and Arsenal have solidified their interest in the promising defender.
Liverpool and Arsenal Express Interest in Acquiring Lucas Beraldo
As per the latest update from TuttoJuve, both Liverpool and Arsenal are expressing admiration for the young defender, joining Juventus in their interest, according to the report.
Beraldo, possessing a natural left-footed prowess, satisfies the criteria for both clubs by virtue of his youth and versatility to operate on the left side of the defense.
Reports suggest Sao Paulo place a valuation of approximately £17 million on Beraldo.
In their quest for a defensive addition, Liverpool is reportedly eyeing Piero Hincapie as a primary target, albeit facing the hurdle of a substantial price tag.
Nevertheless, given Beraldo’s current listed price, he may present a more appealing option for Liverpool in their pursuit of defensive reinforcements.
Beraldo Race Promises Intense Competition
The recent years have witnessed considerable success with South American players in England, creating a sense of apprehension among clubs about potential missed opportunities.
Beraldo appears to be another promising talent emerging from this trend, earning praise from transfer expert Graeme Bailey as an ‘outstanding‘ young prospect.
The prospect of acquiring a talented young centre-back at a cost significantly below the usual Premier League expenditures holds undeniable appeal for both Liverpool and Arsenal.
As the competition for Beraldo intensifies, it becomes evident that Liverpool, Arsenal, and other clubs will be engaged in a competitive battle for his signature.
