Andreas Pereira’s move to Palmeiras: key role, advice, Brazil team | OneFootball

Palmeiras finalized the last details on Tuesday (26) to formalize the signing of the contract and is close to announcing midfielder Andreas Pereira from Fulham.

Behind the Scenes

NOSSO PALESTRA found out that the athlete, after a failed negotiation at the beginning of 2025, decided to resume talks, mainly considering the opportunity to play a leading role in a major Brazilian club that could bring him back to the Brazilian National Team.

In conversations with close associates, Andreas Pereira was advised to accept Palmeiras' offer with future plans in mind. The player dreams of playing in the 2026 World Cup.

What was a doubt a few months ago has become a certainty for the midfielder. The project presented, the expected leading role, and the support of family and friends weighed in on accepting Verdão's offer last weekend.

NP learned that Palmeiras will pay around €12 million (approximately R$76 million at the current exchange rate), with €10 million fixed and €2 million in contract variables, to sign Andreas Pereira.

Arrival

The Alviverde expects to have the athlete starting next week. At that time, the championship will be paused due to the FIFA Date, and the new signing will have time to train and integrate with the group.

The hope is that Andreas Pereira will be in full playing condition for the Conmebol Libertadores quarter-final matches against River Plate, which will take place on September 17 and 24.

No Space at Fulham

Andreas Pereira did not play in the first two rounds of the English Championship. He was on the bench for the debut and was not even listed for last Sunday's (24) match against Manchester United. The transfer window closes on September 2.
