Paris Saint-Germain defender Lucas Beraldo has publicly denied rumors circulating about a potential departure from the club. The 21-year-old Brazilian centre-back took to social media to label recent transfer speculation as “fake news,” firmly stating that he is “very happy at PSG” and fully focused on giving his best for the team.

🔁 Transfer Rumors Sparked by Limited Playing Time

Beraldo arrived at PSG from São Paulo FC in January 2024 after being tipped as one of Brazil’s brightest young defensive talents. However, since his arrival, he has struggled to secure regular first-team football at the Parc des Princes. So far in the 2025/26 Ligue 1 season, Beraldo has made just six appearances, largely playing behind established defenders Marquinhos and Willian Pacho in the pecking order.

Notably, Beraldo has yet to feature in a single game of this season’s UEFA Champions League, leading some to speculate he may be seeking more playing time elsewhere, possibly as early as the upcoming January transfer window.

🗣️ Luis Enrique Urges Patience

Earlier this week, PSG manager Luis Enrique addressed Beraldo’s situation, urging the talented defender to be patient and continue developing. Enrique highlighted the club’s long-term vision and noted the fierce competition for places in the squad.

📱 Beraldo Responds: “Fake News”

Following the media buzz, Lucas Beraldo directly addressed the reports via Instagram, saying:

“Fake news. I am very happy at PSG, and my focus is on giving the best version of myself and reaching our collective objectives.”

Beraldo is also now a regular member of the Brazil national team, meaning consistent club minutes are crucial for his continued development and international prospects. However, his message makes it clear he intends to fight for his place in Paris.

🔜 What’s Next for Beraldo at PSG?

With PSG competing on multiple fronts this season, including Ligue 1 and the Champions League, Beraldo may yet have opportunities to prove himself. Whether as rotational depth or future starter, his determination to succeed at Paris Saint-Germain remains intact.
