São Paulo’s Beraldo Faces European Offers as Departure Considered for 2024 Start

Beraldo’s departure is something considered by the São Paulo for the beginning of 2024. This Saturday, in an interview given at the Morumbi stadium, president Julio Casares admitted facing “another reality” in the market in relation to the defender, the biggest target for Europeans within Dorival Júnior’s squad.

O São Paulo He held back Beraldo, who has two offers to leave in January, and other important names in the squad in the middle of the season, thinking about competing in the Copa do Brasil, which ended with the São Paulo title. This time, European interest grew in the defender, and proposals began to emerge.

– Football is dynamic, we already had proposals in the middle of the year and we didn’t sell them. We wanted to have a competitive team in the final of the Copa do Brasil and it worked. Now it’s another reality, if a proposal arrives that is irrefutable to the São Paulo and for the player, there is no holding back. We really don’t have anything – he commented.

Beraldo could become the most expensive defender sold by Brazilian football. Zenit, from Russia, recently made a proposal of 18 million euros (R$95 million) to the club.

Leicester, another interested party, communicated the São Paulo which will match the Russians’ offer. Premier League teams also expressed interest in the Tricolor player.

Given this context, the São Paulo board admits that Beraldo could leave the team at the beginning of the year.

– We’re going to have to sit down and do the math. I never say the value of anything, not when I buy or when I sell. If this happens (being the best-selling defender in Brazilian football), the São Paulo I brought Luiz Gustavo, Erik, they are great reinforcements and we’ll see what happens – added Casares.

At 20 years old, Beraldo ended the season as one of the highlights of the tricolor season. There were 48 matches and one goal scored, in the duel against Vasco, for the Brasileirão.
