I don't know if we did or didn't. The post about the better European offer is based on what another, more reliable Brazilian journalist reported a couple of weeks back (see below). Anyways, Flamengo haven't even submitted this offer; they're preparing it at this time. We'll see what happens when they submit it.
Yeah, I was stating my opinion and putting forth my own conjecture on Pereira's current situation, but it's not based on nothing. Here's what I base it on:
Casagrande's one of, if not the, most reliable Brazilian football reporters. One of our Brazilian posters had this to say about him:
Goal Brasil isn't terrible, but I'd like to wait and see if a more reliable journalist reports on this Flamengo offer. Anyways, I've read this
Sport Witness article that covers the report. This €5m offer that Flamengo are readying up isn't for 100% of his rights but 50% of it. To restate, they'd purchase him for €5m, and there will basically be a "50% sell-on clause" for Pereira. Manchester United, however, want to completely sell Pereira for €10m, so I doubt they'll accept this offer once they receive it.
Unfortunately, The United Stand only translated the headline and didn't cover the rest of the article.
