The reputable hack claims the Brazil international is considered as an “option” at the Serie A club, but talks with United have just started.
It’s still too early to get excited about this deal but it’s a good sign when clubs are reportedly interested in players like Pereira, who United wouldn’t be against selling.
United have done such little business this summer — signing just one player thus far — and we’ve already questioned whether Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s hands are being tied. Could there be a strict policy in place outlining that signings won’t be made unless players are sold?
It’s the only way I can make sense of this.
Moreover, Lazio would be a good move for Pereira.
Lazio are a decent side who finished 4th in Serie A last season, managed by Simone Inzaghi, and they managed to beat Cagliari 2-0 on Saturday.
Who would have thought Sergej Milinkovic-Savic could join forces with Pereira without having to join Manchester United? I’m sure the Serb will be delighted with the news.
