Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira could be headed to Premier League newboys Fulham.
Journalist Marcelo Hazan, of UOL Esporte, reports that Fulham have reached an agreement in principle with Manchester United that would see them pay a fee of £8.6 million with a further £2.5 million in bonuses for the Belgium-born Brazilian midfielder.
Fulham’s next order of business is to convince the player to make the move.

Andreas Pereira to Remain in Premier League Following Flamengo Loan
Last summer, Andreas Pereira returned to Brazil when joining Flamengo on a year-long loan. That loan expires on June 30 and it was expected he might join them permanently at the end of it.
With no fee agreed, Pereira had been set to return to Old Trafford, however, now looks likely to divert to Craven Cottage on his return to England.
The 26-year-old has had a mixed time in Brazil, scoring six goals and providing three assists in 48 games. Notably, it was his error that cost Flamengo in the Copa Libertadores final v Palmeiras.
Since Paulo Sousa’s appointment as head coach, Pereira struggled to maintain a starting spot in the team. With Sousa gone, he has been a regular in Dorival Junior’s few games to date.
