Pereira made his first-team debut last May, coming off the bench in the Premier League games against Leicester and Manchester City. “We’re pleased to welcome Pereira  to the club and look forward to him joining the squad as we head into the 2019 season,” Atlanta United vice president and technical director Carlos Bocanegra said. “We identified him as a young, technical player who we believe will adapt well to Atlanta United and MLS.”
