As news of Fabinho’s move to Al Ettifaq being resurrected breaks, so Liverpool have been linked with another Brazilian midfielder to help fill the gap potentially left by the 29-year-old and former captain, Jordan Henderson.
Any remaining deals needing to be done arguably should be concluded as soon as practicable, given that Jurgen Klopp would surely prefer to have a settled side before his team kick off the new Premier League season at Stamford Bridge in just over a couple of weeks time.
It’s believed that the Reds will keep trying to acquire Southampton’s 19-year-old defensive midfielder, Romeo Lavia, and as Football Transfers note, there have also been talks with Fluminense for Andre.
The report suggests that the Brazilian outfit want €25m for 80% of the 22-year-old’s economic rights and future add-ons.
Clearly, that is an amount that Liverpool would be able to afford though the issue for Klopp is that the player won’t be allowed to leave his current club until the end of their season, which would mean not acquiring Andre until the next transfer window.
Fulham are also credited with an interest in his services, but they too would find that the same problem applies.
With the Reds needing bodies in situ quickly, perhaps an offer in excess of the asking price could persuade Fluminense to allow their man a summer move.
However, that’s by no means certain and may see Klopp hunting elsewhere for reinforcements.
The LFC recruitment team and Kopp sold be serious what doing business. ..why always hesitant in each and every deal they do…it’s costing the team to have new quality players. ..how many they have lost in previous transfer windows due to their hesitation. …they said act fast once they target a player
An excellent observation because I’ve also come to the same conclusion that Liverpool are far too cautious in their signings and as a result often lose out on good signings, such as Matheus Nunes of Wolves.
One has to admire and respect Brighton’s recruitment team because they take some risks which often are so successful, such as Caicedo, Mac Allister, Kaoru Misaki. Plus their new signings;
Joao Pedro and Igor Julio.
The LFC recruiting team and Klopp shld be serious when doing business. ..why always hesitant in each and every deal they do…it costing the team to have new quality players ….how many they have lost so far in previous tranchers windows due to their hesitations
….they shld act fast once they target a player

To the super coaches commenting that don’t even know where Liverpool is on the map – this ‘caution’ despite already signing 2 too players is the reason why few players fail at Anfield – unlike UTD unlike Chelsea, Everton, Spurs need I go on – think before you speak and I am so glad Jürgen is a red and you clowns only appear online
