Benfica's Pereira calm regarding Sunderland interest

Maxi Pereira insists he is no hurry to make a call on his Benfica future.

The Uruguayan full-back, 30, has recently been linked with a summer move to Sunderland but he is not worrying about contract issues until the end of the current campaign.

"I'm happy in Portugal, playing in a competitive and very good league," said Pereira.

"I'm not worried about my future. I just think in the present and then we'll see."

Pereira, who has been with Benfica since joining from Defensor Sporting in 2007, is out of contract at the end of June this year.
