Manchester United goalkeeper wants to spend next season out on-loan in order to gain more regular first team football, the Manchester Evening News reports.
Pereira made just one first team appearance for the Red Devils last season after coming on as a late substitute in his side’s 4-1 win against Burton Albion in the Carabao Cup last September.
The young shot-stopper was also a part of 18 match day squads for United but at 21 years of age now wants to go out and gain some regular minutes.
It is believed that Pereira would not want to leave on a permanent deal but United would be willing to let the player go out on loan for the season, with clubs from both Serie A and La Liga showing an interest.
The 21-year-old signed a new four-year contract at Old Trafford last summer, with the option to extend the deal by a further 12 months.
United boss Jose Mourinho is a hug fan of Pereira and has previously described him as the ‘best Portuguese ‘keeper of the next generation’.
Pereira has previously enjoyed loan spells at Rochdale and Belenenses and a source close to the player spoke to the MEN about the potential of him again heading out on loan.
There has been talks – the player has to play. He can’t just sit there and watch other players play.
Mourinho likes him, but can’t keep him from not playing and developing. It would be selfish of him to do that.
