Journalist: Liverpool are leading the race to sign the best defensive midfielder in his country for £34 million.

Andre Trindade, a midfielder for Fluminense, will be available for transfer in January, with Liverpool “first in line.”

The 22-year-old’s club rejected any attempts to sell him in the summer, and the Reds have been heavily linked with a mid-season move for him.

Additionally, Fluminense won’t get in Andre’s way this time, claims journalist Graeme Bailey.
In an interview with 90min’s Talking Transfers podcast, Bailey asserted that the Brazil international is undoubtedly going to leave, with Liverpool holding a commanding lead.

The journalist claims that many consider him to be the best defensive midfielder currently playing in Brazil’s top division.

“From what we understand, Liverpool was present for the Copa Libertadores semifinal [last week].

The fact that Andre inspired a 2-1 victory over Internacional in the second leg would have made them very happy.

The victory advanced them to the championship game, where they will face Boca Juniors.

“He is actually one of the January agenda items.
If he stays in Fluminense, I’ll be surprised. Will Liverpool be the destination? I believe they are first in line.

“He will unquestionably depart from Fluminense in January.
And he very well could show up at Anfield.

Liverpool is ahead in the Andre race.

Some might counter that Jurgen Klopp doesn’t necessarily need another midfielder given his current options.

There is definitely room for discussion there, to be honest.
There are eight senior first-team midfielders on Liverpool’s roster right now.

Of those eight, it seems like Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis MacAllister are going to be the starters, with Curtis Jones or Ryan Gravenberch receiving Klopp’s preference for the eighth spot.

Stefan Bajcetic, whose development may be hampered by additional additions, and Harvey Elliott, who is very much on the manager’s mind, are the next two players.

The last two, however, may require improvements.
Thiago Alcantara might be Liverpool’s top midfielder in terms of quality.
Although he never stays in shape, his contract expires in the summer.

Wataru Endo isn’t quite the standard Liverpool needs to challenge, though I don’t mean to put him down.
In defensive midfield, if there is one area where they can get better, it is this.

Therefore, moving Andre in January would be a very wise decision.
It would appear wise for the Reds to sign him if they can do so for less than his £34 million release clause.
Keep your eyes on this one at all times.

Report: £34 million ace Andre Trindade is getting ready to sign with Liverpool.

In the summer transfer window, Liverpool was heavily linked with signing Brazilian Andre Trindade to replace Fabinho.

The midfielder’s contract has a £34 million release clause, but Fluminense, which is trying to win the Copa Libertadores for the first time in their history, has prevented him from leaving.

Ultimately, the Reds moved in to entice Wataru Endo for the DM position, and it is obvious that the Japanese player, who will turn 31 in February of next year, is only a temporary solution.

According to reports in the media (The Mirror), Liverpool is likely to make a move in the January transfer window to finally entice Andre.

The Mersysiders gave it a shot in the summer, but Fluminense president Bittencourt made it clear in the thick of the campaign that he was not for sale.
he said to ESPN.

The CEO of Liverpool, Billy Hogan, got in touch with me. I replied, “My friend, I don’t sell players right now, and I don’t deliver them either.

We can start talking if you want to purchase now and receive the player only in January, or if you prefer to wait until December, we can discuss your options in December.

The fact that even Andre is eager to join Liverpool is good news for Jurgen

The 22-year-old playmaker’s goal for the upcoming winter transfer window, according to Anfield Watch, is to sign with the six-time European champions.

In the previous week, Fluminense defeated Internacional 4-3 on aggregate to advance to the Copa Libertadores final, where they will play Argentine powerhouse Boca Juniors for the championship trophy.

We shall see if Andre can be acquired by Liverpool in January.
To get his signature, should they offer £34 million?
