Manchester United loanee Andreas Pereira got on the scoresheet on Wednesday playing for Flamengo in their Copa Libertadores last 16 first leg clash.
The midfielder is on loan in Brazil, but his future is up in the air following failed negotiations with Flamengo and it sounds like Marco Silva wants to bring him to Craven Cottage ahead of Fulham’s return to the Premier League.
There has also been rumoured interest from Crystal Palace.
However, it was a moment of magic from Pereira that lifted Flamengo to a 1-0 win over Deportes Tolima. He hit the back of the net just 17 minutes into the game after letting fly from distance to leave the goalkeeper flat-footed.
