Andreas Pereira has discussed his future with Leicester City linked with a move for the Manchester United forward.

The Brazilian has been touted as a possible signing for the Foxes in the summer transfer window, with The Sun reporting he will be allowed to leave Old Trafford on loan at the end of the season providing he signs a new four-year-contract with the Red Devils.

Pereira has made nine appearances for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side in the Premier League this season, impressing with United triggering a clause that extended his current deal, that was to expire at the end of the season, for another 12 months.

Born in Belgium to a Brazilian footballer father and a mother with German roots, Pereira turns out for the international team of his father's heritage and has made no secret of his ambition to play for a team in Brazil during his career.

“Also, by the way, there was even this speculation that I was going to Santos," Pereira told Brazilian TV station Esporte Interativo.

"I even talked to the president, but unfortunately it was not possible. I also think that I have to finish a more established career here in Europe.

“So later… of course, it’s a dream to play in Santos. I told him, he understood, he was very nice to me. Of course, I wish the best for them, and God willing, this year we’ll win a little trophy there with Santos, right?

“I have a lot of desire to play in Brazil and my preference will always be Santos. Of course, also, my family is from Paraná, we really like Athletico Paranaense.

"I think it’s the two clubs, if it is to have preference, they are the two clubs that I would like to play in Brazil.”
