While Leicester City were rumored to be on the verge of signing the player, the French team swooped in and is finalizing the last details of the transfer. According to Globo Esporte, it was Beraldo himself who opted for the move to PSG. The Parisian side’s offer isn’t much better than Leicester’s €20m promise, so the player’s decision carried a lot of weight.
Globo Esporte suggests that Leicester City was seen as a gateway to the Premier League, where the player could have better conditions to adapt before making the leap to a European powerhouse. However, Beraldo ultimately chose PSG for its established presence in European football and their ambition to win the Champions League.
It appears that not even a more lucrative offer from Leicester City could have swayed Beraldo’s decision. Now, they can only wait and see if the French club will confirm the signing in the upcoming days.
