Fulham and Manchester United have agreed a deal in principle for Andreas Pereira, according to reports in Brazil. The 26-year-old, who enjoyed an unlikely revival under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Old Trafford, is currently on loan at Flamengo but it appears he could be set to move onto a new venture in the coming weeks.
Pereira has scored seven times in 31 outings while on loan back in South America and his form has attracted the interest of several clubs in Europe.
However, according to UOL Esporte, it looks like Fulham are set to win the race for the playmaker after striking an agreement with United.
Journalist Marcelo Hazan tweeted: “Fulham has made a proposal and has a principle agreement with Manchester United by Andreas Pereira: 10 million euros + 3 million euros in bonuses.
“English now try to convince Andreas Pereira, loaned to Flamengo until Thursday (30).”
