Andreas Pereira has claimed that his comments earlier this week about a possible move to Marseille have been maliciously ‘mistranslated and distorted’.
The Fulham midfielder was left out of his side’s game against Tottenham Hotspur this afternoon, but released a statement via his Instagram account shortly before kick off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium saying:
“I would like to address the article recently published about me. Unfortunately, the piece contains statements attributed to me that I did not make, and the translation into English was done in a malicious and inaccurate manner, completely distorting my words.
In the interview, I clearly expressed my happiness and satisfaction with being at Fulham and my gratitude for everything the club and the staff have done for me, emphasising at all times that I still have two years remaining on my contract and that I am fully focused on the club.
However, the article includes comments that are neither accurate nor reflective of what I actually said. I deeply regret the unprofessional conduct displayed in this situation and respectfully request a retraction of the quotes falsely attributed to me. It is essential to uphold the truth and ensure that public discourse is based on facts. Thank you for your understanding. And most importantly Come On Fulham.”
Should think so. If Silva picks him hope fans don’t boo him won’t help the team. He’s not been great this season but works hard up to silva now will support who ever wears shirt
He can claim he’s been mistranslated, but Silva is a native Portuguese speaker. Silva removed him completely, so doesn’t look good for Pereira. To be honest, we look weaker with him sitting in front of the defence

Agree with this. Whatever Pereira has on the credit side is more than made up for on the debit. For a supposed attacking midfielder his goals return is pathetic. And as for the ‘phantom’ assists – read the article!
Yes. Very noticeable how well we played without him yesterday. If the above statement, reportedly by him, is accurate, who translated that for him?
How many times have we heard from foreign players ( not necessarily Fulham) that their words were mistranslated. Poor player, poor judge of actions. Bye bye.
