Flamengo rival moves to sign Andreas Pereira | OneFootball

Palmeiras had tried to sign Andreas Pereira in December last year

The Palmeiras tried to sign Andreas Pereira, former Flamengo player, at the start of the season and almost closed the deal. However, the team led by Abel Ferreira turned their attention to the Fulham (ENG) player, but financial factors may hinder the negotiation.

According to the ‘Nosso Palestra’ website, the Palmeiras has shown interest in signing Andreas Pereira again. However, due to a lack of funds at the moment, the Brazilian team plans to make a more economical offer. However, Fulham is expected to play hard to release the former Flamengo midfielder.

WHY DOES PALMEIRAS NOT HAVE HIGH CASH?

At this time, the Palmeiras should not make major investments this season, as the Paulista team has already made high-value signings. Therefore, the idea is to seek more economical deals, considering that we are already halfway through the year.

HAS HE BEEN TARGETED BY PALMEIRAS BEFORE?

Andreas Pereira was targeted by Palmeiras at the end of last year, while the season in England was underway. The team led by Abel Ferreira made an offer of 18 million euros (R$ 115 million at the time's exchange rate). However, the deal did not go through.

AND FLAMENGO?

The Flamengo, former team of Andreas Pereira, remains focused on the next challenges of the season. The red-black team takes the field this Wednesday (20) to face Internacional, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), in a match valid for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores.
