Since Liverpool started to get linked to Fluminense midfielder André, the Brazilian media always claimed that the Tricolor wouldn’t like to let him go in the middle of the season.
The Rio de Janeiro side have an interesting team this year, alive in the fight for a few titles, and losing him now would be a big blow.
Now as today written by Globo Esporte, Liverpool are set for a bigger struggle in this chase, as Fluminense this week qualified for the Copa Libertadores’ quarter-finals.
It’s claimed that with the club getting far in the competition, that only convinced their board that they don’t want to sell André before the end of the year.
Liverpool, Fulham and Sporting are all named in the story as the clubs who’ve been interested in the player.
Regarding the Reds, it’s claimed that their priority is to sign Romeo Lavia from Southampton, but they have also recently moved for Moises Caicedo.
It turns out they even have Fluminense watching and hoping for that situation, as that would make Jurgen Klopp’s side forget about André and let the player stay in Brazil.
