Earlier today, Bayern Munich announced that they have completed the signing of João Palhinha from Fulham.
The Premier League side have to bring in a replacement for the Portuguese midfielder and they are keen on signing André Trindade
That’s according to Trivela, and their title says Fluminense have an ‘advanced deal’ to sell the midfielder to Fulham.
Within the report, it’s claimed the 22-year-old is in ‘advanced negotiations’ with Silva’s side.
He’s long been on Fulham’s radar and they made two offers for him last year. Since then, they have continued talks with Fluminense, and have now made a new offer of around €25m, which has been rejected.
The player’s agent has made a trip to London to hold talks with the Premier League side. It’s claimed the ‘final hurdles’ were cleared by Palhinha’s exit and Fulham now have the ‘necessary conditions’ to secure the deal for Brazilian.
Fluminense want André to be their club-record sale, surpassing the €18.5m they earned from Gerson’s move to Roma in 2019.
Trivela add Fluminense’s plan is to hold on to André for a longer period [preferably get him back on a short loan deal], but this didn’t please the player and Silva’s side. He’s keen to move to Europe in this window.
