Transfer news – Paris step up pursuit of Flamengo’s young talent | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain continues to explore the Brazilian market, despite mixed results with Lucas Beraldo (21-year-old defender) and Gabriel Moscardo (20-year-old midfielder). According to the Brazilian press, the club is now targeting Ryan Roberto (17 years old), a winger from Flamengo. Already a winner of the U20 Intercontinental Cup, the young talent is also attracting interest from Ajax Amsterdam, Real Madrid, and FC Barcelona.

Paris Saint-Germain's Brazilian strategy has not yielded the expected results so far. Signed for €20 million in January 2024, Lucas Beraldo, now 22 years old (born November 24, 2003), is still struggling to convince. His limitations in impact, execution speed, and defensive reading have fueled criticism, to the point that L’Équipe now mentions a desire to leave. Meanwhile, Gabriel Moscardo (born September 28, 2005, 20 years old) has yet to play for Paris and continues his development on loan at Braga.

Despite this mixed picture, Paris is back in the hunt with Ryan Roberto, a 17-year-old winger capable of playing on the right, left, or center. His versatility, ability to create differences at high intensity, and European potential justify Parisian interest. But the competition is fierce: Real Madrid, Barça, Ajax... a lineup that confirms Paris is watching a real rough diamond, even if recent history calls for caution.
