Fulham still waiting for Andreas Pereira decision after making a transfer bid to Manchester United
According to The Sun, Fulham are still waiting for Andreas Pereira to take a final decision on their offer as they look to prise him away from Manchester United. His future is up in the air at this moment, with no clear indications about what lies in store beyond this summer.
Marco Silva is eager to reinforce his squad and end the Cottagers’ zig-zag run of promotion and relegation for good. He has turned his eyes towards Pereira as a result and has even tabled a bid to secure the midfielder’s services on a permanent transfer.
The current proposal amounts to £11million, which is undoubtedly a decent fee for Man United should they decide to accept the offer. Pereira is yet to reveal his stance on the matter, so it remains to be seen if there will be any developments in the coming days or weeks.
Pereira to leave Man Utd?
It will be in our best interests if the Brazilian star accepts this offer from Silva’s side this summer. After all, we would earn a decent fee for the midfielder and would part ways with one of the fringe players in the process as well.
We can use those funds to bolster other areas in the squad and even help with our pursuit to sign other targets like Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong, for example. There were some suggestions within the fanbase that perhaps we could keep Pereira to deal with the massive exodus in midfield.
After all, we lost the likes of Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic, Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata on free transfers this summer. Hence, keeping hold of Pereira with Erik ten Hag being at the helm is a possibility, considering how both of them worked together at PSV Eindhoven.

However, it would be best if we sell Pereira as he has failed to hit the heights he was expected to reach in the past. The 26-year-old also has attracted attention from another European side which certainly helps if the Manchester board are seeking a bidding war of sorts.
Perhaps a bidding war could take place for the South American, although that is a hopeful thought for an out-of-favour star like him. Let’s hope to see a solution to this matter soon as it would then give us the freedom to focus on other incomigns and outgoings.
