"Inigo Martinez's summer exit from Barcelona has turned out to be more damaging than it was initially thought, with the club struggling to find a proper replacement for the veteran centre-back. This has been evident in Barcelona's lack of defensive organisation this season, which has prompted the need for reinforcements at the back. Barcelona had the chance to sign Beraldo According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona were handed the opportunity to sign PSG defender Beraldo in the summer."
"The 21-year-old is regarded as one of Brazil's most promising centre-backs, who has impressed onlookers with his technical quality. A left-footed centre-back who can play out from the back, Beraldo is rated highly even at PSG, having already featured in 67 competitive matches since joining the club in 2024. However, talks between PSG and Barcelona regarding Beraldo did not take place in the summer, as neither Hansi Flick nor Deco showed any interest in the player."
Inigo Martinez departed Barcelona in the summer, creating a defensive void that the club has not adequately filled and contributing to disorganization this season. Barcelona missed an opportunity to sign PSG defender Beraldo, a 21-year-old left-footed centre-back praised for technical ability and with 67 competitive appearances since 2024. Negotiations with PSG did not occur because Hansi Flick and Deco showed no interest, and financial limitations likely affected recruitment. Barcelona is reportedly interested in Marc Guehi, who will be a free agent at the end of the season. Beraldo remains behind Willian Pacho, Marquinhos and Ilya Zararnyi in PSG's pecking order, and his game time could fall further once Marquinhos regains full fitness.
