Flamengo and Olympique Marseille are set to renew their interest in Fulham midfielder Andreas Pereira this summer, according to reports from Brazil.

The Brazilian international spoke positively about the possibility of a move to France last autumn – earning the wrath of Marco Silva and the Fulham hierarchy – but a deal to leave Craven Cottage never materialised during the January transfer window. Fulham are understood to be open to selling the former Manchester United man this summer, but their valuation of the 29 year-old attacking midfielder might prevent Pereira’s boyhood club, where he spent a season on loan before joining Fulham, from signing him permanently.

Bolavip report that the Whites currently value him at around £30m, which both Flamego and Marseille believe to be ‘excessive’. The two suitors are confident that they can persuade Fulham’s hierarchy to lower their asking price, with Pereira about to enter the final year of his current contract – even if the Premier League do hold a twelve-month extension option. Marseille are pondering whether to make a formal offer in the next couple of weeks, with former Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi being a big admirer of the Belgian-born playmaker, but they are expected to go no higher than an initial bid of £15m.
