However, The Sunday People now reveals that Newcastle United are ready to compete with Liverpool for Beraldo’s signature.
The highly talented young player has attracted attention not only from Liverpool but also from other top English clubs, including Manchester United, Spurs, and Chelsea. The transfer fee for Beraldo is estimated at £20 million.
Liverpool, plagued by defensive issues last season, failed to secure a Champions League spot and did not make any defensive signings during the summer transfer window.
Recent talks suggest that the club has already initiated discussions to sign Beraldo in the upcoming transfer window.

In light of these considerations, the question arises: Should Liverpool prioritize securing the services of Lucas Beraldo in the upcoming transfer window to address their defensive shortcomings?
