Andreas Pereira’s move back to Brazil from Fulham is already paying off with a [**call-up to the national team**](https://x.com/CBF_Futebol/status/1964005720484987138), stepping in after striker Kaio Jorge was ruled out with injury.
The midfielder, who has just signed for Palmeiras after leaving the Premier League side, has been named in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad for the clash with Bolivia on 9 September.
Although he has not yet made his debut for Palmeiras, Andreas is fully registered and has been training with Abel Ferreira’s squad.
His selection for Brazil reinforces the idea behind his return – that regular minutes at a top Brazilian club could put him back in the spotlight.
His quick recall to the Seleção reinforces the reasoning he explained when completing his transfer. _“It is important for me to stay in the national team cycle. It’s about doing my job well at Palmeiras so I can be called up. I have a dream of going to the World Cup in 2026,”_ he said at his presentation, as we [**reported at the time**](https://sportwitness.co.uk/i-have-a-dream-player-shares-his-big-aims-after-fulham-exit/).
Andreas is no stranger to the national team, having already been called up in previous years and even finding the net for Brazil. This latest inclusion shows he remains firmly on Ancelotti’s radar.
By choosing Palmeiras to regain rhythm and visibility, the midfielder has ensured his name remains in Ancelotti’s plans – proof that the strategy behind his move is working exactly as intended.
