They explain that the Brazilian side are back in the market for the Fulham midfielder. He is ‘well-regarded’ behind the scenes at the club.

The problem is Fulham, who are reluctant to let Pereira go. They are asking for are asking for €35m to sanction any transfer this summer.

That figure is considered ‘excessive’ by Flamengo and Marseille, his other suitors. The French side were considering an offer at the beginning of the summer transfer window.
