Matheus Diniz (member of Pereira's entourage) on the recent rumours:
He is happy in Rome. Andreas likes the Italian culture, which is closer to the Brazilian than the English. He feels good in Rome. Lives there with his wife and daughter. The supporters like him, only he wants to play more. Until now he has mainly been a substitute, but he always does well. He started in the playing XI against Torino and scored immediately.
I don’t do Pereira’s transfer business – I do marketing – but my feeling is that both club and player want to get on with each other. There is another clause, which says that Lazio has a first option if another club makes a bid. So, I certainly don’t rule out that he will play for Lazio next season. Players may also leave, and Andreas is also very well integrated into the group. He is good friends with Lucas, whom he knew from England, Correa and Caicedo.
