Andoni Zubizarreta Wanted to fichar to Juan Squared but, to the not being possible, finish fichando to a lateral stranger Brazilian that had a grey step by the Barcelona team. From here, it left yielded first to the Sporting of Gijón and afterwards to the Benfica, where recala at present.
The FC Barcelona yielded to Douglas Pereira to the Portuguese club with an option of purchase to final of season enciphered in 2,5 million euros, although it is not compulsory. Another clause of the agreement is the payment of 1,8 million euros if the Brazilian side reaches the 11 parties contested with the Benfica this season.
The Benfica will not buy him
The case is that Douglas Pereira hardly is explaining for the technician of the Benfica, Rui Vitória. The Brazilian side still does not play in the Portuguese league from in January: the Benfica has remained deleted of the three competitions in which the ex Barcelona had had more minutes: Glass of the League, Taça and Champions League.
The situation has done to fall to Douglas in the total ostracism in a Benfica that trusted he to be the relief of Nelson Semedo, that fichó by the FC Barcelona the past summer. The true is that the side has not arrived to have continuity in any moment of his go through the Portuguese league, whose step seems that it will be short.
In total, Douglas Pereira only has contested six parties with the T-shirt of the Benfica, done that it is a proof more than evident that the Portuguese club does not have the Brazilian side and will not exert his option of purchase. Irremediablemente, tendrá that go back to the FC Barcelona in the month of June.
It does not go in in the plans of the Barça
Douglas Pereira, that has agreement with the FC Barcelona until 2019, does not go in by no means in the plans of Ernesto Valverde neither of the technical office, neither for the current season neither neither for the following. It considers that the position of right side is very covered with Nelson Semedo and Sergi Roberto and even, with Aleix Vidal, whose continuity is not ensured.
