Crotone set to sign full-back Pedro Pereira from Benfica

With the Serie A opening day just a few hours away, Crotone continue to build a team that can possibly keep them up this season. In this sense, the Pitagorici have closed a deal for Benfica's- right-back Pedro Pereira.

The Portuguese player, born in 1998, will join Crotone on loan with option to buy and thus return to Serie A after his spells with Sampdoria from 2015 to 2017 and with Genoa in 2018.
