Liverpool Reportedly Reviving Interest in Fluminense’s André Amidst Setbacks with Moisés Caicedo and Romeo Lavia
Liverpool FC is reportedly considering revisiting their interest in Fluminense midfielder André as they face challenges in securing deals for Moisés Caicedo and Romeo Lavia. The club is eager to bolster their midfield options after several departures have left them in need of reinforcements.
Notable players like James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain departed as their contracts expired, while Fabinho and Jordan Henderson have also moved on to the Saudi Pro League. Although the team has added Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton & Hove Albion, additional midfield acquisitions are necessary for the Reds to remain competitive in the Premier League.
Liverpool’s pursuit of Moises Caicedo seemed promising with a £110 million bid accepted, but the player ultimately expressed a preference for Chelsea, who secured his signing through a £115 million deal with Brighton.
Liverpool’s transfer saga takes another twist as they redirect their attention after a series of near misses. Following an accepted £60 million bid for Southampton’s Romeo Lavia, Liverpool find themselves once again facing competition from Chelsea for a sought-after player.
Lavia’s preference for Chelsea over Liverpool has prompted ongoing negotiations between the two Premier League giants. As the deal inches towards Chelsea’s favor, Liverpool is left considering their next move.
According to The Mirror, Liverpool is contemplating revisiting their interest in Brazilian midfielder Andre. The 22-year-old caught Liverpool’s eye earlier this summer with his standout performances for Fluminense.
Andre’s journey from the club’s youth ranks to a consistent first-team player has showcased his potential. Since his debut in September 2020, he has made 147 competitive appearances, contributing three goals and three assists.
His performances have also earned him a spot in the Brazilian national team, making his debut in June. Despite having over three years left on his contract, Fluminense’s hand remains strong in negotiations for a potential transfer fee. Liverpool’s pursuit of alternatives continues amidst the ever-evolving transfer landscape.
