PSG have agreed a deal with Al Ittihad for the transfer of Danilo Pereira on a permanent transfer. The Portuguese is set to make the switch for a fee worth €5 million as the French side only wanted a permanent transfer.
There is a total agreement between the two clubs for the transfer, and the player is set to travel to Saudi Arabia to complete his medical tests to finalise the switch.

The 32-year-old has been with PSG since his transfer from Porto in 2020. Over the last four seasons, the versatile player has made over 150 appearances across all competitions. He has played as a defensive midfielder as well as a centre-back when needed.
But with the arrival of Joao Neves this summer, PSG needed to offload some players to make room. And now, they have sold not only Manuel Ugarte but also Pereira as part of their clearout.
The 32-year-old joins the likes of N’Golo Kante and Fabinho at Al Ittihad to form one of the top midfield line-ups in the Saudi Pro League. Whether or not it helps them reclaim the league title next summer is something that remains to be seen.
