The Brazilian side are said to have reached an agreement in region of £8.8m

Midfielder made 75 appearances across eight seasons for the Red Devils
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.
Pereira managed 75 appearances for Manchester United across eight seasons at the club, scoring two goals.
The 26-year-old failed to hold down a first-team place despite playing over 25 league games in the 2019/20 season. Used as a versatile midfielder, the Brazilian was utilised in a number of midfield positions, which may have contributed by his inconsistent performances.
