With not many updates in Fulham’s chase for Fluminense midfielder André, we now get to see that the player’s move out of Brazil may not happen in January after all.
This is a story that comes from Globo Esporte, who claims the Rio de Janeiro side now consider holding the 22-year-old until the next summer.
Their piece explains that even though Fulham and other clubs are interested in André, none of them placed formal bids yet.
Fluminense now understand that this may have to do with the winter window, which doesn’t attract such big investments.
Since their idea is to make the midfielder their biggest sale ever, it may be worth waiting until the summer to see the big offers coming.
It’s said there’s also a chance for the Brazilian side to negotiate the player now and only let him leave in the middle of the next year.
Globo Esporte recalls that Fulham sent scouts to watch André in action in the Copa Libertadores final, and despite showing interest, they never really placed their bid.
Since Fluminense are currently playing the Club World Cup, the situation should become clearer soon.
