Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed the arrival of Lucas Beraldo. The Parisians have reportedly paid Sao Paulo €20m for the 20-year-old.
The youngster has signed a five-year contract with the French giants.
Beraldo is a centre-back of the relatively rare kind. He's left-footed, boasts a good passing range and is calm on the ball. His job will be to spray diagonals from PSG's own half to the right-winger (Dembele or Asensio).
The 20-year-old has been praised for doing the basics right: tackling, positioning, intercepting the passes. His weaknesses appear to be aerial duels and relatively poor discipline (7 bookings in 24 league matches last season).
The Brazilian made a total of 52 appearances for Sao Paulo before completing a switch to PSG.
