On 6 November, Globo Esporte announced that Andre is one of the clubs to watch Fluminense in Liverpool’s Copa Libertadores final against Boca Juniors.
It is also reported that his club are expecting an offer worth around €35 million in January. Manchester United made a bid this summer showing a strong interest in the midfielder, something the player himself has confirmed.
He also said that leaving the Merseyside club was “very difficult”. A ‘confidential’ report from Sport Today has revealed that Liverpool failed to sign the 22-year-old in the last transfer window.
Barcelona must recruit a new midfielder next year and are not the only club looking to strengthen their position. According to Sport, European clubs are “keen to speculate” on the January move and Andre is a player who has attracted the interest of several clubs.
Interested clubs will be able to see the Brazilian in action during this month’s international break and next month’s FIFA Club World Cup. Fluminense consider Andre “lost”.
The paper claims he will move to Europe “no matter what” in the winter market, with only Jurgen Klopp’s side named as suitors. Sport say Liverpool have “taken the lead” in the race to sign him but “nothing has been decided yet”.
This means that the final decision has not yet been made. They conclude their report with a statement: “His transfer serves to demonstrate how the midfielder market is developing and being valued, which Barça will be watching closely.
“The Brazilian has previously claimed that Liverpool have doubts, partly because of the player’s physical abilities.
