UOL broke the news on Monday that Leicester City is in negotiations to sign Lucas Beraldo from São Paulo, and since then, other Brazilian media outlets have been following the development closely.
Globo Esporte, for example, is approaching the situation cautiously. They confirm that Leicester City is the frontrunner in the race for the player and mention that the Foxes are considering meeting São Paulo’s €20m asking price. However, they also note that other English clubs, including Chelsea, Brentford, Brighton & Hove Albion, and Wolverhampton Wanderers, are also considering making a move for Beraldo, so there may be additional offers in the future. This is especially likely after the end of the Brazilian season on Wednesday.
Journalist Jorge Nicola adds an interesting perspective to the situation. He suggests that the figures being discussed are significant and that if Leicester City does offer €20m for the player, São Paulo will likely accept the deal due to their need to sell players.
Overall, there is a great deal of anticipation surrounding Leicester City’s potential offer for Beraldo.
