Manchester United are expected to confirm the sale of midfielder Andreas Pereira to Flamengo by the end of this week for £8.8million and a 25 per cent sell on clause.
The 26-year old has enjoyed a largely successful spell on loan since joining in the summer, making 25 appearances and scoring five goals to become a firm favourite with supporters.
Flamengo officials have been negotiating with United and want to pay the fee over instalments with Pereira expected to agree a contract until 2026.
It's understood that Pereira’s loan deal had originally included a £17m buyout clause but United agreed to reduce their demands in exchange for 25% of any money received from a future sale.
