Official: Empoli sign Pereira
By Football Italia staff
Empoli have officially completed the signing of Matheus Pereira from Corinthians.
The 18-year-old has joined the Tuscan side from Corinthians, but it’s thought Juventus will have a clause allowing them to bring him to Turin next season.
Serie A only allows the purchase of two non-EU players from outside Italy per season, and the Bianconeri have already used one slot to sign Dani Alves from Barcelona.
Pereira has therefore joined Empoli outright, meaning he could be transferred to the Old Lady next summer without taking up a non-EU slot.
“Empoli FC announces the outright signing of the player Matheus Pereira from Corinthians.” a brief statement on the club’s official website announced.
@Mark - Smells like all over this.
And doesn't Alves have an EU passport by now?
