On Friday, various claims from the Brazilian media talked about Palmeiras’ firm desire to sign Fulham’s Andreas Pereira in the winter market.
On Saturday, Nosso Palestra reported Fulham would need €30m to sell the 28-year-old and that’s a high figure for the Brazilian club.
Goal Brazil stated Palmeiras could offer Richard Ríos or Victor Reis as part payment, and both are of interest to Fulham.
A fresh report from Nosso Palestra says the Brazilian club are aware Periera’s signing can only be carried out by including a player as part of the deal. Ríos or Reis are the two options that can be proposed to Marco Silva’s side.
The report states the London club prefer the 24-year-old midfielder over 18-year-old Reis.
That’s because the Colombia international’s arrival can help them immediately replace the former Manchester United man in midfield. There’s also a good possibility for Fulham to make a profit from his sale in the future.
Therefore, the Premier League side have ‘signalled positively’ to take Ríos plus money in exchange for Pereira. The talks between the clubs are in the initial stages and there’s a need to discuss figures to reach an agreement.
The Fulham player’s agent is at work to get this deal over the line in January. The report adds that representatives in Brazil and England are also working to help Pereira end up at Palmeiras.
