Club career
Born in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Pereira moved to Portugal at a young age, joining Sporting Clube de Portugal's youth system at the age of 14. On 18 January 2014, whilst still a junior, he made his debut as a senior with the B-team, coming on as a 46th-minute substitute for Cristian Ponde in a 1–1 away draw against C.D. Trofense for the Segunda Liga championship.[1] He scored his first goal in the competition on 7 March of the following year, contributing to a 4–3 home win over C.D. Tondela.[2]
Early into the 2015–16 season, Pereira was first called to the main squad by newly appointed manager Jorge Jesus.[3] His first competitive appearance took place on 1 October, as he started in a 1–1 draw at Beşiktaş J.K. for the UEFA Europa League.[4] Late in the same month he scored his first goals as a professional, helping defeat UD Vilafranquense in the Taça de Portugal (4–0, away)[5] and KF Skënderbeu Korçë in the Europa League (5–1, home),[6] being subsequently selected for the latter competition's team of the week.[7]
