Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira will leave the club and be on loan to Brazilian flamenco for a season and a half, with a permanent transfer likely to be completed next year. This transaction has been confirmed by Sky Sports in the United Kingdom.
The 25-year-old Pereira scored a world wave in a pre-season warm-up to regain attention. But in the premier league debut, the former Brazil international is still just a substitute who has not been able to play. His contract with Manchester United runs until 2023 and he has a one-year priority renewal, with the club priced at £21m and left uninvited, making loan the only option.
Renting out to Flamenco will be Pereira's 4th departure from Manchester United. He played twice in La Liga during His time in charge of Jose Mourinho, joining Granada and Valencia respectively, while after Solskjaer took charge, he was loaned to Serie A Lazio last season, and although he played 33 times in all competitions, including 26 in Serie A, it seems like a lot, but only three starts and only scored 1 goal.
The 2019/20 season was The year pereira played the most at Manchester United, and before Bruno Fernandez joined, he and Jesse Lingard played no. 10, but they did not perform well, and were mocked as the "double emperor company" of Petti and Lin Huang. Now, the addition of Van de Beek has further slipped Pereira's ranking.
According to the data, after joining Eindhoven in 2014, in 75 games in the Manchester United first team, Pereira has scored only 4 goals and assisted 5 times, only 1 more than Fernandez in the Premier League opener, and 1 assist than Pogba. Another statistic shows that in 129 games in Europe's five major leagues, Pey has been yellowed many times (30 photos) than he has participated in the number of goals (21 times). As a No. 10 player, he was ridiculed as mediocre, not without reason.
Pereira usually performed well in warm-up matches, while official matches disappeared, so fans dubbed him "Pre-Season Pirlo". For United, the best plan is to send him away before the heat of his volley against Brentford has completely disappeared.
Fred Caldeira, a Brazilian journalist with close ties to the Pereira family, revealed that the United midfielder has agreed to Flamengo's contract to join the traditional Brazilian powerhouse on a loan-before-buy basis, with a loan period until December 2022.
"TNT Sports" reported that Flamengo beat Everton because Pereira aimed to compete in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and he believed that playing at home was easier to attract the attention of Brazilian coach Tite. He knew he needed to play the main force, which he couldn't do at Manchester United, so he was willing to leave. His agent, Horabchin, who was also the agent of former Manchester United and Manchester City goalscorer Tevez, also persuaded him to leave Manchester United.
United would prefer to sell Pereira outright, but with an offer of more than £20 million, no club is willing to accept it, which is understandably the result. Pereira himself wants to transfer directly, but he may need to prove to the new owner with performance that he has the value of buying out himself.
"I'm ready to play, I'm no longer a boy, I'm a man willing to take responsibility." Pereira said, "I am sure that in my position, if I have enough playing time and consistency, I can show my ability, I can score more goals, give more assists. A player in my position needs to have enough confidence to play and to show bold freedom on the pitch. At Manchester United or elsewhere, it's time for me to play more games, play at least an hour a game a day and build confidence on the pitch. I want to be happy and feel more important."
On its social networking site, Pereira posted a thoughtful photo with her phone held down, accompanied by a dialog box suggesting she was considering future options. His friend Pogba followed the post and exclaimed "Wow", all without saying a word.
Marcos Braz, head of football at Flamengo, revealed: "The negotiations have not gone as deep as the rumors have been." But he later added: "It's a name that we've been hiding for a long time, there's not a lot of rumors, people don't even know we're operating this transfer. The same is true for Kennedy [the Chelsea player], we still have time until 28 August, he's a player from a great club, from one of the biggest giants in Europe, and we want to have the same success."
"Negotiations are going on, you always have problems and there will inevitably be some disagreements between the two sides, especially for players of very high calibre, who are at their peak ages at the 25 and 26. We're excited to have the opportunity to sign him."
Brazil's "Global Sports" said Manchester United and Flamengo were very optimistic about the outcome of the negotiations. Britain's Daily Mail revealed that Flamengo hopes to complete Pereira's transfer by next Tuesday and let him appear in the Copa do Brasil.
