With the Brazilian media now reporting Fulham’s fresh attempt to sign André from Fluminense, we get to see some fresher news about this pursuit.
Earlier today, we covered Lance claiming that the Whites placed a bid worth €35m plus €5m in bonuses.
Now as UOL comes up with their own story, they take it a little easier when speaking of Fulham’s new attempt.
However, with Fluminense demanding €30m for the transfer, it’s said they’re still waiting for an official bid, while Fulham never showed they’d like to match that price. That obviously contradicts the earlier claims.
The Rio de Janeiro club seem ready to sell, with their president previously claiming his move is imminent, and André himself has the ‘expectation’ of moving in this transfer window.
Fulham still need to place their official bid, though, at least according to UOL. Since they’re a very reliable outlet, we should probably take that into account, with the previous claims about a an attempt perhaps referring to a verbal offer or work between intermediaries.
