Report: Are Dortmund chasing Brazilian star Beraldo? | OneFootball

Will Nico Schlotterbeck stay in Dortmund or will he decide to make a move? The answer is not yet clear—at least publicly. However, if the 26-year-old central defender decides to transfer, BVB must be prepared. An earlier transfer flirt has come into focus.

With high hopes and many dreams, Lucas Beraldo (22) joined Paris Saint-Germain in January 2024. Initially, things looked quite promising for the Brazilian defender. In his first one and a half years in Ligue 1, he made 38 appearances in the star-studded team. He was also part of the extended regular squad in the Champions League and the Club World Cup.

But this season, Beraldo seems to have fallen out of favor with coach Luis Enrique (55). His record is relatively modest with just 13 matches (one goal). Although the left-footed player is known for his technical skills, he lacks consistency. As he cannot surpass Marquinhos (31) and former Frankfurt player Willian Pacho (24) in the team hierarchy, he remains a supplementary player—insufficient for the demands and abilities of the five-time international.

Competition from the Bundesliga

Beraldo's dilemma, however, presents an opportunity for Borussia Dortmund. Even before his move to the French capital, BVB had the central defender on their radar. But PSG had the upper hand in the race for the defender and signed him for 20 million euros.

According to information from transfer expert Ekrem Konur on fussballdaten.de, the Black and Yellows are closely monitoring Beraldo's situation. The Brazilian has the experience of 49 appearances in Ligue 1 and has played nine times in the Champions League. He was on the field in both CL semi-final matches against Dortmund in 2023/24.

According to the report, Paris is willing to negotiate for an amount between 30 and 35 million euros. At the 13-time French national champion, he currently earns a reported four million euros a year. However, competition from the Bundesliga has also become alert. Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen are reportedly also keeping an eye on Beraldo.
