Although it’s taken them three years, Liverpool have finally made contact with the parent club of one of their long-term targets.
Clearly, Jurgen Klopp didn’t feel back in 2020 that it was the right time to take a chance on the player that the club appear to be keen to bring to the Premier League this summer.
The Reds ideally need to acquire a few more players if possible, given the depth of outgoings that have already occurred in the current transfer window.
To that end, though they still have until September 1 to get any deals over the line, they do really need to work hard and fast if they want to get players in before the first game of the new Premier League season.
That would allow Klopp more time to integrate them into his squad and starting XI where possible.
According to Globo, it was back in 2020 that current Fluminense star, Andre, caught the eye of Liverpool scouts that were in attendance at the Copa Sao Paulo de Futebol Junior tournament.
Just 18 at the time, he did start in the four matches played in the tournament though it seems that a move at that stage wasn’t the right decision for the Premier League outfit.
Fast forward to today, and just this week Liverpool have finally made their move.
Whilst it’s believed that Fluminense would prefer to keep hold of their man until the winter window, giving them options in the Copa Libertadores in the meantime, a decent bid could well tempt them to part company with Andre before the end of the month.
Anybody but Jones at number 6.
It’s about time that my favourite team
seek cheaper alternatives in the South American market, because it seems that is all we can afford these days.
Yer but there is good value in that market jus ask real madrid… more nearer home brighton, prime example caicaido next to nothing ,mcallister next to nothing….
we should be seeking alternatives there, not because we can’t afford, but south american players have a hunger and fight we don’t often see in Europe
Yer but there is good value in that market jus ask real madrid… more nearer home brighton, prime example caicaido next to nothing ,mcallister next to nothing….
Lfc should of been doing that from the start of the summer as there is great value and super qualitey players in south america. just ask real madrid even closer to home brighton” caicado ,mcallister bought for peanuts and super qualitey.. its a no brainer realy…
OTHER PREMIERSHIP TEAMS HAVE BOUGHT PLAYERS FROM THESE LEAGUES WITH GREAT SUCCESS SO ITS ABOUT TIME LIVERPOOLS SCOUTING SYSTEM WERE ABLE TO DO THE SAME. LETS HOPE THEY BRING IN THE BEST OF THESE PLAYERS.
This should have been an instant instinct since day one. South America league has enormous talents to adapt right away. Andre is better than Lavia. I am honest We need Right and Left – sided defenders. Robertson , Arnold Trent Alexander , Gomez , Kallahar , Matip and Thiago Alcantar should pave the way for new comers or should be used for an exchange with rivals.
Rivals always want the cast-off veterans
As Monaco has good midfielders, why LFC can’t bid for both or One of them? Camara and Fofana
My favourite team Liverpool disappointed most fans for spending so much time to acquire just 2 players. How long will it take jugen Klop to integrate new comers into the team for prompt results. If Romeo Lavia is still paramount to them, let them rap up the business in 1 or 2 days to come.
We need one strong cb
Back to the brazilian bargain bin.
