Manchester United’s Andreas Pereira is currently on loan at Lazio and has been restricted to only two starts each in the league and Coppa Italia this season.
The Serie A side retain an option to make the midfielder’s stay permanent and the figure is reportedly set at €25m.
Having been restricted to 563 minutes of action across 23 matches in all competitions, earlier reports indicated the Biancocelesti will not retain the Red Devils man beyond his loan spell.
Last week, Citta Celeste and La Lazio Siamo Noi reported the 25-year-old will return to Manchester United after this campaign.
Today’s report from La Lazio Siamo Noi explains the ‘redemption of Andreas Pereira is evaluated,’ but on ‘two conditions’.
Despite not featuring regularly, Lazio’s ‘goal’ is to retain him, likely for a fee lower than the one agreed (€25m) between the two clubs last summer. The former Valencia loanee also shares the same desire and is ready to lower his salary demands.
The ‘suitors are not lacking’ for the midfielder as Atalanta and Napoli are looking at the midfielder. His ‘talent has not gone unnoticed’ as Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have written down his name in the transfer target list.
However, Lazio and Pereira’s desire is to continue their relationship beyond this season as the club and their sporting director, Igli Tare, ‘strongly believe’ in him.
Although he has hardly started matches for Lazio, the United man continues to be a ‘coveted player’ and his future is ‘yet to be written’.
