Porto have placed Alvaro Pereira on sale – Portuguese Primeira Liga Update
According to the latest reports, FC Porto have placed defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Álvaro-Pereira-c5297 for sale despite having a stellar season with the club.
The left-back has been impressive in his displays for the club, not to mention his goal-scoring for the Uruguayan national team at the Copa America. His ability as a reliable defender with attacking prowess had reportedly attracted the attention of several
big European clubs.
The Portistas are believed to be ready to listen to potential suitors and their offers but are demanding top-dollar for the 25-year-old.
Starting his career with Miramar Misiones, Pereira’s talents proved too good for the club and he departed after only a season with the Argentine side. He then spent a year each on loan firstly with Quilmes then with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentinos-Juniors-c38415. His glittering performances
raised eye brows in Europe and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/CFR-Cluj-c38778 snapped up the talented youngster for €2.5 million.
With the Railwaymen, he experienced the taste of European football in the UEFA Champions League and it granted him big game experience while honing his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Skills-c40539 against the cream of the continent.
Cluj cashed in on the Sky Blue International when they sold him to Portuguese giants http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 for €4.5 million in 2009. Playing in the Portuguese Primeira Liga greatly enhanced his abilities and established him as a top quality player for the side.
The Dragons are keen to earn a profit on their investment while he can be sold for a high price. Clubs like Bayern Munich are showing interest in the wingback and they boast the financial power to lure the player.
English Premier League club Arsenal could also be in for Pereira, as their left-back Gael Clichy has left in search of greener pastures in Manchester, making it very likely that the Gunners will present a proposal to quell their defensive woes.
Porto are believed to have already sought out a worthy replacement and are rumoured to be keeping tabs on Santos’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-Sandro-c4798. However they will face stiff competition from their arch-rivals Benfica for his signature, with the Eagles reportedly placing
a €9.5 million proposal on the table for the Brazilian.
