Douglas Pereira is between a rock and a hard place - as it has emerged neither his parent club, Barcelona, nor his current, Benfica, wish for his services.
Douglas joined the Blaugrana from Sao Paulo in the summer of 2014, signing a five-year deal as to add depth to the squad.
Though destined for a back-up role, the Brazilian still struggled for game time, and made little over 110 minutes of action over the course of his first two seasons in La Liga.
Subsequently, Douglas was loaned out to Sporting Gijon, making twenty starts in the Spanish top flight, before returning briefly and being shipped off to Benfica.
