Paris Saint-Germain have reached an agreement with Sao Paulo over the proposed transfer of Lucas Beraldo, according to Fabrizio Romano. The documents are being drawn up at the moment and are expected to be signed very soon, with the player currently waiting to undergo a medical with the Ligue 1 champions.
Age only 20, Beraldo is primarily a centre-back, but he has been known to step into the breach as a defensive midfielder too if need be, and his versatility is surely one of the things that will have attracted the attention of the PSG scouts. Since earning a place in the senior squad at Sao Paulo, he has made a total of 52 appearances for the club, getting on the scoresheet once.
With his contract running until 2028, Sao Paulo have apparently agreed to relinquish his s…

Portuguese sensation Joao Felix has the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of some of Europe s finest forwards after opting to join Atletico Madrid rather than any of the other huge clubs chasing his signature.
The 19-year-old scored 15 goals in 26 Primeira Liga appearances during his first season in the Benfica side and his dynamic performances lit up the Eagles campaign as they edged a wonderfully close 2018-19 title race.
Scorer of a Europa League hat-trick against Eintracht Frankfurt in April, Joao Felix has earned a reputation for breathtaking moments of skill, and he possesses the kind of exquisitely delicate touch that would make him an ideal replacement for outgoing Atletico forward Antoine Griezmann.
With Atleti spending €126million to land Joao…
