Chelsea keeping close tabs on 20-year-old PSG sensation

Chelsea are still keen on signing defender Lucas Beraldo, despite losing out to Paris Saint-Germain in the race to acquire him earlier this summer. The Blues were among the biggest spenders in the recently closed transfer window, securing players like João Félix, Pedro Neto, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. However, their focus has now shifted toward further strengthening their defence, aiming to bolster their squad with more young talent.

With their front line firing on all cylinders and delivering cinematic performances, Chelsea currently sit in 4th place in the Premier League, boasting four wins in their first six matches of the 2024/25 season. As they explore defensive options that can complement their fast-paced style of play, Chelsea’s intent to add more strength at the back is clear. The club is looking to ensure a balanced squad capable of sustaining their impressive early-season form.

Chelsea still have their sights set on Lucas Beraldo

According to Caught Offside, Chelsea still have their sights set on Lucas Beraldo, despite the young Brazilian prodigy having moved to Paris Saint-Germain. Should any opportunity arise for his availability, the Pensioners are reportedly ready to spend big to bring the 20-year-old to Stamford Bridge. Beraldo currently earns around £52,536 per week at PSG, but Chelsea remain keen to lure him back into their plans.

Chelsea’s pursuit of defensive reinforcements doesn’t stop with Beraldo. As The Guardian reports, the club has also made inquiries about Nottingham Forest’s standout defender, Murillo, who has been earning rave reviews for his dominant performances. The Blues appear eager to continue building depth in defence, ensuring they remain competitive on all fronts this season.

The 20-year centre-back joined Paris Saint Germain in the summer of 2024

While Chelsea already boasts an impressive attacking lineup with players like Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer, alongside potential backups like Pedro Neto and João Félix, it’s becoming increasingly clear that now is the time to focus on strengthening their defense. Ensuring their backline is as formidable as their attack could be key to sustaining their momentum this season.

The true test of Chelsea’s power will come on October 20, when they face off against Liverpool at Anfield in a high-stakes battle. This clash between Enzo Maresca’s youthful, energetic squad and the seasoned stalwarts under Arne Slot promises to be a thrilling, high-voltage affair. All eyes will be on how Chelsea’s defense handles the relentless pressure from Liverpool’s potent attack.
