Leicester City has expressed interest in Sao Paulo defender Lucas Beraldo, and reports from Brazil suggest that the club is preparing to make an offer for the 20-year-old. Beraldo has been making a name for himself with his impressive performances in Brazil, making 47 appearances in all competitions this season. City is rumored to be readying an offer that could reach €20m (£17.1m) as they were reportedly ‘enchanted’ by his performance during a recent scouting trip. With Sao Paulo needing to sell players by the end of the year to help their 2023 accounts, an exit for the price City is offering may be feasible, although it is believed that the player is worth more. This potential transfer comes as City seeks to strengthen their left-sided centre-back position, with Man City loanee Callum Doyle still recovering from knee surgery and manager Enzo Maresca expressing a desire for more competition in the position. Despite interest from other clubs, City seems poised to make a move for Beraldo as they look to bolster their defensive lineup in the upcoming transfer window.
