Liverpool could solve their center-back problem by signing Lucas Beraldo from Sao Paolo in the January transfer window.

The news of Joel Matip’s ACL injury was upsetting, especially given that his contract expires at the end of the season.

Jurgen Klopp may now look to buy a centre-back when the winter transfer market starts in less than two weeks, with Lucas Beraldo a possible choice.

According to Tutto Juve, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Juventus are all interested in signing him.

Zenit St. Petersburg’s €18 million bid was turned down because Sao Paulo demanded €20 million. Leicester City is anticipated to submit a bid that meets their requirements.

If Liverpool makes an acceptable offer to the Brazilian club, they might outbid Leicester and ensure they find a solution to their center-back shortage.

There are doubts about Beraldo’s suitability for a move to the Premier League considering that he is only 20 and plays in Brazil, but he is a very gifted young player who has impressed the Reds’ scouts.

According to reports last month, Liverpool are in pole position to negotiate an agreement with Sao Paulo, but with the January window only a few days away, no formal contact has been made.
