On Friday, multiple claims from Brazil talked about Palmeiras’ interest in Fulham’s Andreas Pereira.
Journalist André Hernan said the 28-year-old wants to move and is encouraging Palmeiras to push for a transfer in January.
Later that day, ESPN in Brazil stated the Brazilian club face a big challenge of convincing Fulham to sanction a move.
Nosso Palestra now explain how Palmeiras convinced the midfielder and their plan to try and acquire his signature.
Back in March, Palmeiras president Leila Pereira met the player, his agent and his family in England, and she presented the club’s project to them. This includes fighting for trophies and competing in the 2025 Club World Cup.
In addition to this, the South American club are willing to make the Fulham man one of their key players and hand him the No.10 shirt. All these convinced the former Manchester United man to make a switch to Brazil.
Fulham had earlier rejected a €20m bid from Marseille and the report states they would need €30m to sanction a sale.
In order to get closer to this figure, Nosso Palestra claim Palmeiras are willing to include Richard Ríos or Victor Reis part of the deal. They believe this is the only way they can get closer to Fulham’s request to sign Pereira.
Goal Brazil journalist Raisa Simplicio took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to say Palmeiras are considering involving one of the two players as part of the deal. She adds both Ríos and Reis are of interest to Marco Silva’s side.
