Portuguese goalkeeper returns to Galicia on a permanent deal after two successful loan seasons
Deportivo La Coruña have completed the permanent signing of Inês Pereira from Everton, with the Portuguese goalkeeper signing a contract until 2029.
The move sees Pereira remain with the Galician club after spending the last two seasons on loan from Everton.
A Familiar Face Returns Permanently
Pereira has already established herself as an important player for Deportivo, making 55 appearances during her two loan spells.
The Portuguese goalkeeper also recorded 14 clean sheets, playing a key role between the posts during her time in Galicia.
Her performances have now convinced Deportivo to make the move permanent, securing her services until 2029.
From Loan Player to Permanent Signing
Rather than being a completely new arrival, Pereira’s transfer represents the continuation of a successful relationship between the goalkeeper and the club.
Having already spent two seasons adapting to Deportivo and Spanish football, Pereira can now focus on building on that foundation without the uncertainty of another temporary move.
For Deportivo, the deal also provides continuity in an important position.

What Inês Pereira Brings to Deportivo
Pereira brings both experience and familiarity to Deportivo’s squad.
Her two seasons with the club mean she already understands the team, the league and the demands of playing in Galicia. That could allow her to settle immediately and continue developing her role as an important part of Deportivo’s squad.
Her record of 14 clean sheets in 55 appearances during her loan spells demonstrates the contribution she has already made to the club.
Transfer Tribune Verdict
This is a logical and positive move for both Deportivo and Pereira.
After two seasons on loan, the goalkeeper has already demonstrated her value, and making the transfer permanent gives Deportivo stability while rewarding Pereira for her performances.
A long-term contract until 2029 suggests the club see her as an important part of their plans for the years ahead.
