Brazilian side Palmeiras have already submitted an offer to Fulham to sign Andreas Pereira, even offering the player more money than he earns at Craven Cottage.
That’s according to TNT Sports Brasil, who report that Palmeiras have already put their offer on Fulham’s table.
They don’t detail the nature of the bid at this moment in time but do say the deal is very difficult to complete at this moment in time. They make reference to the fact Fulham rejected a €20m offer from Marseille in the summer, suggesting Palmeiras would need more than that.
Palmeiras have, though, offered more money than Pereira currently earns at Fulham. They add that there is a feeling among some Brazilian players in the Premier League that they are undervalued in the Premier League.
They’re now looking at Memphis Depay and his revival in Brazil, while earning big money, and how playing in their home country could be beneficial for them.
Whether this pushes Pereira to push Fulham to get a deal done remains to be seen, but it should be remembered that he’s been very open about leaving the club in recent weeks.
He later pushed back and suggested his comments had been misinterpreted but it seems Palmeiras are now testing the waters ahead of next season.
