Paris Saint-Germain eyeing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 left-back Alvaro Pereira – Portuguese Primeira Liga News
Paris Saint-Germain have been keeping tabs on FC Porto’s star left-back, Alvaro Pereira, and are closing on the Copa America winner, according to the latest reports in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984.
The Parisians have been one of the biggest spenders in the transfer market following their acquisition by the Qatari Investment Authority and are looking to add even further recruits to their squad.
Armed with an almost endless supply of cash, the club have secured the services of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Pastore-c18082 from Palermo for a mouthwatering €43 million deal.
With money seemingly not a stumbling block for the French giants, they have targeted http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Álvaro-Pereira-c5297 to become the latest marquee signing at the helm.
25-year-old Pereira has seen his stock rise immensely since his spectacular displays in the 2011 Copa America for the Uruguayan national team. Playing as a full-back, the former Quilmes man did not only perform his defensive duties admirably but also ventured
into the attacking third and managed to notch two key goals for his country.
His outings for Porto have also not been shy of quality either and Pereira has consistently been first choice for the club following his move from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/CFR-Cluj-c38778. Winning the quadruple last season, the Dragao star has been touted with a move to several clubs but
a transfer did not materialize in the summer.
Liverpool were close to signing the highly-rated defender earlier but the Reds backed off after the Portistas refused to lower their €30 million asking price. Arsenal were also reportedly interested in Pereira but given Arsene Wenger’s reluctance to spend
big in the market, they also left the table without landing their man.
However, Paris Saint-Germain not only possess the ability to outbid their rivals when needed but are also a developing side, in need of proven players with experience.
Alvaro Pereira is best choice available to the club given the time he has spent at the highest level and with his undoubted talents tried and tested, he would he be a great addition to Leonardo’s ambitious side.
