The Uruguay international has recently been linked with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United.

Pereira admitted to local Uruguayan television over the weekend, that "the Premier League would be best for me".

Pereira's agent has previously hinted that he believes his client would be perfect for Chelsea.

"Chelsea are the European champions," agent Flavio Perchmen told TSF. "They are a great club for any player, not just Alvaro Pereira. They are a top 10 club in Europe.

"If there is a good offer, we will study it. We want the best solution for his career. We are open to offers, but it has to be from a club of the same level of Porto or better.

"We will see what happens. What he wants is to play."
