£21m Brazilian midfielder rejects Man Utd says he’s interested in joining Liverpool
There are talkes going on that Andre Trindade has reportedly teased that he wants to join Liverpool, with the midfielder rejecting an approach from Manchester United.
According to journalist Emmanuel Luiz, the Fluminense youngster wants a move to Anfield having had talks with Liverpool, with the Reds interest beginning to once again intensify for Andre.
The Brazilian youngster, who Liverpool believed to have made a €25m (£21m) deal offer for this summer, has been wanted by the Premier League side for some time, with Andre now keen on a move.
However, a deal with Fluminense is proving hard to strike, with the Brazilian giants eager to keep hold of Andre for as long as possible despite interest from Liverpool.
Indeed, a move could soon take place, and Luiz has now said that the midfielder is keen to match the switch. The journalist said: “Andre wants the Liverpool move.
“Manchester United was in talks with the player’s camp, they said look, in England, we agreed with Liverpool. I love Andre, but I never trust a player’s word, but in this case I think it’s a very strong situation.”
Liverpool need to push to see of they can get Andre before the window shuts
Andre is quickly emerging as a prime candidate for Liverpool’s final midfield signing of the window, and if the Reds want to bring the Brazilian to Merseyside, they’ll have to act now to make a deal possible.
Fluminense’s stance on not selling Andre as long as they’re in the Copa Libertadores is a brave one, yet it’s something Liverpool can break down with a financially-tempting offer.
With Andre already sold on a move to Liverpool, all it will take is a bid from the Reds to shatter Fluminense’s resolve, something that is more than possible in the coming days.
