Galatasaray are targeting PSG star, who is facing rising competition and reduced minutes at the French club.
Lucas Beraldo’s time in Paris began with promise. The 21-year-old defender joined PSG from Sao Paulo in January 2024 for €20m [$23m] and didn’t take long to adjust.
The Brazilian played 24 matches in just six months, scoring twice and looked like a player ready to anchor the defense for years to come but in football, things change quickly.
Beraldo featured in 38 games across all competitions in 2024/25, starting 29 of them.
He played over 2,700 minutes but watched from the sidelines more often as the Marquinhos-Willian Pacho pairing took priority.
Now, with Illia Zabarnyi likely arriving from Bournemouth, the competition for center-back spots is expected to become even more intense. That uncertainty hasn’t gone unnoticed.
Galatasaray have emerged as serious contenders and could act soon.

According to Turkish outlet Fanatik, the Istanbul side is considering a loan offer and is preparing to contact PSG in the coming days.
Galatasaray have already spent around €90m [$104m] this window, signing the likes of Victor Osimhen, Leroy Sane, Ismail Jakobs and Przemysław Frankowski.

But the club still wants to reinforce its defense and believes Beraldo’s profile fits the bill.
While reports claimed the player wanted to leave after PSG’s Club World Cup loss to Chelsea, his entourage strongly denied it.
Beraldo remains under contract until June 2028, but with minutes at risk, the Brazilian could consider a temporary switch.
