Although facing difficulties, the Palm trees has not yet given up on signing Fulham midfielder Andreas Pereira. According to president Leila Pereira, the parties are still negotiating to facilitate the player’s arrival.
She, however, admitted some anxiety so that the negotiation could be concluded more quickly. The team has made the operation difficult and wants to maintain it, but Palmeiras remains patient and confident in hiring.
“It is under negotiation, nothing has been defined yet. He is an athlete that we would really like to see come to . But nothing is defined. As it is difficult to hire a football player, it takes time. It’s not the timing of them, for me he would already be here. I have to be patient”, said Leila Pereira, in an interview with CazéTV.
The president reinforced that Palmeiras is still in the market looking for reinforcements. So far, the club has signed strikers Facundo Torres and Paulinho. Alviverde still dreams of at least one defender, a midfielder and a center forward, according to the Itatiaia.
