Liverpool are favourites to sign Sao Paulo defender Lucas Beraldo – but Newcastle United are now joining the race for his signature.
Newcastle United could now battle Liverpool in the race to sign Sao Paulo centre back Lucas Beraldo.
That is according to The Mirror (26/11, p70), who claim that Newcastle are now a contender for Beraldo’s signature.
The Magpies have seen left-sided centre back Sven Botman go down with a knee injury and his return date is unclear.
Newcastle may now look to add another left-sided centre back and they could look to the Brazilian market…
Newcastle United want Lucas Beraldo
The Mirror now report that Newcastle are joining the race to sign Sao Paulo defender Lucas Beraldo.
It’s claimed that Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are all keen on Beraldo but Newcastle are now interested.
The report highlights that Beraldo could move for £20million and Newcastle are eyeing a double Brazilian raid.
Santos talent Marcos Leonardo is also wanted at Newcastle, with a £16million move in the pipeline for him.
Beraldo would offer depth in the left-sided centre back role at Newcastle but the favourites appear to be Premier League rivals Liverpool…
Liverpool leading race for Beraldo signature
UOL Esporte over in Brazil report that Liverpool are ‘the favourite club’ to take Beraldo away from Sao Paulo.
The Reds are looking for more defensive depth and would seemingly like to land a natural left-footer.
Current centre backs Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Joel Matip, Joe Gomez and Jarell Quansah are all right-footers.
Beraldo would bring some balance on that side of Jurgen Klopp’s back line and has considerable potential at just 20.
Liverpool clearly face a major Premier League battle for Geraldo though, with Newcastle now the latest club in the mix.
