Palmeiras are working on signing Fulham’s Andreas Pereira which has been reported in the Brazilian media for the past week.
On Christmas Eve, we covered multiple claims from Brazil which stated Palmeiras made a €20m bid for the midfielder and could raise it by €2m to convince Fulham.
Two days later, Fulham sealed a 2-1 win over Chelsea and after the tie, Marco Silva talked about the possibility of losing the 28-year-old to the Brazilian club.
Bolavip claim Palmeiras’ deal for the former Manchester United man is ‘stuck’ as there is no agreement with Fulham yet. Despite this, they are optimistic of getting this operation over the line in the upcoming window.
Palmeiras president Leila Pereira is ‘confident of the deal’ because of Andreas’ desire to return to Brazil and Fulham’s stance.
Marco Silva’s side are aware the player wants to join Palmeiras and keeping him against his wish could impact the club and his performances. Therefore, Fulham have opened talks with the South American club.
It’s claimed the ‘negotiations [are] progressing’, even though it’s at a slow pace. There’s no deal yet in place between the two clubs, but their president is confident on reaching an agreement with Fulham.
