SouthStandUpperTier Posted 9 June 2023 Share Posted 9 June 2023 (edited) Not sure how legit this is but I'll post it anyway. Return to Porto? https://sportwitness.co.uk/leicester-city-player-aiming-return-home-country-leaving-foxes-relegation/ Newspaper Correio da Manhã today features a short piece saying the 29-year-old could reinforce the Dragons’ squad in the summer window. It’s pointed out that following Leicester City’s relegation to the Championship, he could be one of those on the way out of the club. For now, there aren’t any details whether there are advanced talks with Porto for his return to the Estádio do Dragão. Ricardo Pereira played for the Dragons between 2013 and 2018, and made 77 appearances for the Portuguese side Edited 9 June 2023 by SouthStandUpperTier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Zear0 Posted 9 June 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 9 June 2023 Be gutted to lose Ricardo. Granted he's been injured for long periods, but he's one of the few players in the squad who seems to have a level of maturity that is so obviously missing from the current team. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 9 June 2023 Share Posted 9 June 2023 Would be a shame to lose him, massive shame, but when fit he's far better than a second division player. Hope he stays. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will1981 Posted 9 June 2023 Share Posted 9 June 2023 Get him gone a great player when fit with a great attitude but always injured and on a big wage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 9 June 2023 Share Posted 9 June 2023 He's a significant favourite of surely nearly all of us. But he's one of our higher earners, isn't he? I wouldn't be surprised if we pay him more per actual performance (given his injury record) than any other of our actually decent players. We'd probably be better served letting him go and replacing him with a younger, fitter player. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieG Posted 9 June 2023 Share Posted 9 June 2023 If true persuade him to stay until January if we look like we have no chance of promotion let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 9 June 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 9 June 2023 (edited) Will be gutted if he leaves while recognising it's probably the best thing for everyone. Was one of the best right backs in the world in 19/20 before the injury. Edited 9 June 2023 by Miquel The Work Geordie 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 9 June 2023 Share Posted 9 June 2023 Contracted until 2026 and you're gonna get under 10 good games a season from him now. Sickening as he was right up there with the absolute best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_favourite Posted 9 June 2023 Share Posted 9 June 2023 One of the best full backs to ever play for us and a lovely guy as well. But can understand if he leaves and wouldn't moan too much. He's far too good for the championship. Such a shame he got the injury. He is one of few I would sad to see go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose2010 Posted 9 June 2023 Share Posted 9 June 2023 Send him on loan with them paying the full wages. If he stays fit for the season bring him back if we go up. If we don't go up and he has stayed fit i am sure we would still get a few mill for him. Horrible situation for one of the good guys in my eyes but i think the above is best for all parties.

It'd make him their second highest paid player, probably about 30k a week more than the third. Otavio is the only player they have on an even vaguely Premier League kinda wage.

Lambert09 Posted 9 June 2023 Share Posted 9 June 2023 i’d obviously love to keep him, I was kinda hoping we’d have to with his new deal and nobody coming in for him. But it would be borderline negligent to turn down any offer if it’s got a bit of money attached 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That_Dude Posted 9 June 2023 Share Posted 9 June 2023 (edited) One of my favourite players. Love him and I wouldn't begrudge him if he wanted to call it a day here, but him leaving will hurt us. Edited 9 June 2023 by That_Dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mee-9 Posted 9 June 2023 Share Posted 9 June 2023 Got to go. Had a blinding year with us a while back, but he’s been sicknote for too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgfualol Posted 9 June 2023 Share Posted 9 June 2023 Fine to see him go for a decent fee. He can barely manage 5 games in a row, his body would not be able to handle the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolhandfox Posted 9 June 2023 Share Posted 9 June 2023 Time to move on if we can get a fee. Very unlikely to say fit for more then a couple of games, never going to be the player post injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moore_94 Posted 9 June 2023 Share Posted 9 June 2023 Absolutely love the guy 19/20 he was just unreal, easily gets a massive move that summer if he doesn't get injured Unfortunately with his injury issues since his first acl we just won't be able to rely on him being available as much as we will need him next season Probably looking at €5-10m euros (although wouldn't be surprised if less than that), and with a wage reduction due to relegation it easier for him to get a move to Portugal or some other European team as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniFox21 Posted 9 June 2023 Share Posted 9 June 2023 An incredible player for us, then hugely impacted by that ACL injury, then the horror tackle to break his leg and then his Achilles going has killed him. Would hate to see him go, but if selling him let's us keep a nacho/Barnes type player, then so be it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
