Manchester United's forgotten man Andreas Pereira finally looks set to leave Old Trafford.
Brazilian news outlet Universo Online (6th February) report that Flamengo are in discussions with the Red Devils to turn the 26-year-old's loan into a permanent deal.
They claim that the Brazilian side and Manchester United have agreed terms on a deal that will bag the Red Devils £12million.
However, it is still unclear who will buy the other 25% of Pereira's economic rights.
However, the good news for Manchester United is that it looks as if they are going to make a bit of money on a player who never quite settled in Manchester.
The Red Devils signed Pereira in 2012 from PSV and he went on to make 75 senior appearances and scored four goals (transfermarkt).
He actually developed a reputation for scoring spectacular goals in pre-season and then failing to be involved in the actual season.
So, this move comes at the right time for both the player and the club and the Red Devils are set to make a bit of profit.
Pereira is still young and can still have a successful career in South America, so let us all hope that this deal gets sorted out quickly.
Then the Red Devils can wish Pereira the best, and the player can get on with re-establishing himself in Brazil and potentially forcing his way back into the Brazilian senior side.
