Among the strong rumours claiming Fulham are trying to sign André from Fluminense, the Brazilian club appears to be pretty much prepared for his exit.
Following the match against São Paulo last night, manager Fernando Diniz was asked about some of their stars and the possibility of them leaving at the end of the year.
Quoted by ESPN Brasil, Fernando Diniz confirmed that André should be on his way out, despite not giving Fulham or any other clubs any mention.
“I really liked both of them (Martinelli and Alexsander). André’s departure is imminent and they are two players who were trained at Fluminense and who, both of them, have had very good times and have had good times again here at the club. Apart from them, we have other possibilities, but I think they’re players I’m counting on a lot for next year,” said Fernando Diniz.
Other reports then claimed André should actually cost €35m, but the Whites were again named as one of the strongest competitors for the transfer.
It really seems like the destination is still to be decided, while the Brazilian club now sit and analyse all the offers that will arrive until the January transfer window.
