Pereira is loved at Flamengo

The talented midfielder has caught the eye of many with his exciting performances, which the fans and the manager asking him to stay beyond his loan spell.

Flamengo head coach Dorival Junior said in June: ‘I hope he stays. Players of this level, players with this potential, are few in Brazil. I have no doubt that this boy can still grow a lot, he can evolve a lot. How will it happen? I don’t know.

‘But it would be really nice if we could hold onto this kid because he has a lot of qualities. He is a player that draws attention in any way. He has growth potential, players of that level are scarce at the moment within this country.’

In addition, Manchester United scouts sent to watch his team-mate Joao Gomes also spoke about his performance, saying he was the best player on the pitch.

The one-cap international has one year left on his Red Devils contract and has not played since the 2019-2020 campaign for the English giants. However, United hopes Pereira will agree on personal terms with Fulham, as the promoted side’s bid of £11m represents the best deal financially for United.
