Andreas Pereira lands in Brazil to join Palmeiras | OneFootball

Midfielder Andreas Pereira arrived in Brazil on Monday night. Announced as a reinforcement for Palmeiras at the end of last week, the player who defended English Fulham arrives to join the squad led by Abel Ferreira.

Andreas underwent routine medical exams last week and signed a contract with Palmeiras until December 31, 2028. His name was published in the Daily Information Bulletin (BID) of the CBF on Monday and, therefore, he is cleared to debut.

With the championships paused due to Fifa dates, Andreas Pereira will have more time to work before the first game with the Palmeiras jersey. The green and white team returns to the field on September 13, for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship, against Inter, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Allianz Parque.

With stints at clubs like Manchester United, Valencia and Lazio, as well as the Brazilian National Team, Andreas Pereira defended Flamengo between 2021 and 2022, when he returned to English football. For the red-black team, he lost the ball to Deyverson in the move that defined Palmeiras' three-time championship in the Libertadores.

Andreas Pereira is the 12th reinforcement for Palmeiras for 2025. Before him, goalkeeper Carlos Miguel, defenders Bruno Fuchs and Micael, fullbacks Khellven and Jefté, midfielders Emi Martínez and Lucas Evangelista and forwards Facundo Torres, Paulinho, Ramón Sosa and Vitor Roque were announced.

With 43 points in 20 games, behind Flamengo (47) and Cruzeiro (44), Palmeiras is in third place in the Brazilian Championship. Qualified for the quarterfinals of the Libertadores, the green and white team faces River Plate at 9:30 pm on September 17, at Monumental.
