With many pundits in Brazil claiming Flamengo should give up on buying Andreas Pereira from Manchester United, today we get to see Everton being pointed out as a good destination for the midfielder.
The 26-year-old is having a loan spell at the Rio de Janeiro side until June. And despite an option to make the move permanent for €20m, the clubs reportedly recently agreed a new deal worth €10m.
With Andreas Pereira having quite poor form at Flamengo, and with their own fans frequently booing him, there’s now an urge to forget about this agreement. And live on SBT, pundit Pedro Certezas named Everton as one of the solutions Manchester United could find for the midfielder.
“It’ll be better for the player and for the club if Andreas Pereira leaves. No matter what he does, he will always be scarred by the mistake in the Libertadores final. And he still has a market in Europe, at a second-tier team, like Lazio, Everton,” said Pedro Certezas (via Bolavip).
“He’s not playing well here in Brazil and what he did against Vasco you can see that it has full psychological influence.”
Andreas Pereira has a contract with Manchester United running until 2023.
At this stage, it would be no surprise to see Flamengo giving up on the deal, and that would force the Red Devils to find a quick solution this summer and avoid losing him for free next year.
