Fulham’s board are ‘in constant contact’ with Fluminense over midfielder André and are ready to compete with Premier League rivals for his signature.
That’s according to Trivela, who say Fulham ‘remain strong in the race’ for the highly sought-after Brazilian midfielder.
They explain that Fulham were actually the first side to formalise a proposal for the Brazilian midfielder, who has several clubs in England eyeing up a move for him.
They don’t have the financial power of some of the other competitors but that has not stopped them from continuing to chase the player.
They sent representatives directly from England to observe the midfielder in the Copa Libertadores final and his great performance in that game certainly made Fulham ‘even more interested’ in trying to secure his signature.
Their board ‘is in contact’ with the Tricolors and intend to make an official proposal in the coming days, having already been the first club to approach the Brazilian side in the first place.
Whether that puts them at an advantage remains to be seen but they remain firmly in the picture despite the increasing competition.
