Liverpool must try to secure a pre-arranged transfer deal for Brazilian midfielder Andre.
This and several important tasks form the ideals of January.

Liverpool moved to 23 points from 30 in the Premier League with a comfortable win over Nottingham Forest at Anfield this weekend. Goals from Diogo Yota, Darwin Nunes and Mohamed Salah completed the result and Tottenham could have claimed a bigger win if Luis Diaz’s VAR error had not left Tottenham with the nod.

With the Europa League group complete this week and Bournemouth advancing to the last 16 of the Carabao Cup, Liverpool are still easily qualified for all competitions and have a squad capable of challenging on all fronts.
Just like at the start of last season (before the Reds missed out on a top-four finish), Liverpool are flying under the radar.

The signing of Diaz in January of that season was crucial. This mid-campaign breakthrough gave Liverpool an extra element and helped them challenge teams on all four fronts.
We will have to reschedule a similar schedule this time.

Andre Trindadj looks like a genuine, relatively cheap player who could give Liverpool something new with a mid-season push in early 2024.
The Reds had a bid of $32m rejected by Brazilian club Fluminense last summer, according to Globo Esporte, but he recently admitted a summer exit was a possibility, although he did not agree to it.

“Every player dreams of playing in a big league, in a big club in Europe,” Andre recently explained to CONMEBOL Libertadores.
“But when the transfer window closed in January, [Fluminense coach Fernando] Diniz came and said he wanted me here before the end of the year, so I decided to keep my promise.” I had no idea that an offer of this amount would come. I told him I would stay there until the end of the season no matter what.

“Midway through the year and we were still in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores.
It was a very difficult decision.

If I had accepted the offer, I don’t know if I would have felt 100% at ease because I would have agreed with Diniz’s opinion. He really values ​​his words and honesty. I know that if we do the right thing, good things will always happen. Then in January he told me that if I stayed he would undoubtedly make a bet and my value would go up.”

With Thiago Alcantara out of contract at the end of the season and Liverpool lacking quality midfield depth, Andre could be an excellent addition. Additionally, Alexis McAllister could fill the acquired role.

Next weekend is the Copa Libertadores final. After that, the preliminary arrangements for Andre’s transfer must be made in January, and Fluminense’s last game of the season will take place on December 6.

Now is the time to think about Andre’s next move, at least if not after the grand finale.
Elsewhere at Liverpool, signing a new defender should also be a priority until suitable options become available.

Like Thiago, Joel Matip’s contract expires at the end of the season. If Liverpool can find a replacement – preferably a left-footer – they’d better bring someone up front. As with Diaz, who arrived six months before Sadio Mane left, the overlap could be advantageous.
Outside of these two areas, there are no obvious gaps in Liverpool’s squad.
However, new contracts for Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold will be crucial to a solution. Both should be relatively straightforward, but Salah’s situation is more complex because of Saudi interests.

The last time Salah was extended, the process was not completed and it took a long time to renew the contract. The Saudi Arabian Pro League’s willingness to sign the 31-year-old can only help the player’s representatives in any negotiations.

Of course, ideally Liverpool could make progress and sign new contracts for three key figures. Van Dijk is confident of an extension despite being 32 years old. This season, he’s back to being close to his prime.

But with this season over, signing a player who can emulate Diaz’s influence and go beyond the summer will have the biggest impact on the campaign’s outcome in terms of trophies.
It is known that nothing can be won in the first month of the season, but Liverpool will do everything possible to be in the best position once the second part of the season starts.

Andre Trindade has discussed why he chose to remain at Fluminense for the remainder of the season despite Liverpool’s strong summer transfer interest.

Andre, a midfielder for Fluminense, has admitted he passed up the opportunity to go during the summer transfer window despite Liverpool rumours.

The 22-year-old Brazilian is highly regarded by the Reds, who were heavily linked to finalising a deal for him after manager Jurgen Klopp reorganised his starting lineup after Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner, Jordan Henderson, and Naby Keita left.

The ECHO previously reported Liverpool’s interest in André, who was in talks with Fluminense at the start of August over a move for the defensive midfielder.
The enemy quietly retreated and concentrated their forces on Wataru Endo.

It has been reported that the Brazilian national team does not want to leave until they are eliminated from the Copa Libertadores.

Discussing his future for the first time in an interview ahead of the Libertadores final on November 4, when Fluminense face Argentine giants Boca Juniors, André said: “We haven’t talked about it lately.

This is the first time I talk about it in depth. It was an offer the major league club couldn’t refuse.

“I think every player dreams of playing for a big club in Europe, in a big league.
But when the transfer window closed in January, Diniz (Fluminense manager) came and said he wanted me here before the end of the year, so I decided to keep my promise.

I didn’t know if there would be an offer for that amount and I told him I’d be there until the end of the season no matter what.

“It was halfway through the year and we were still in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores.
It was a very difficult decision.

I’m not sure I would have felt 100% comfortable if I had accepted the offer because I would have come to an agreement with Diniz.

He talks to me all the time and I really appreciate his words and honesty. I know that if we do the right thing, good things will always happen.

And they said that if I stay in January, I will definitely have to bet and the costs will increase.

“I didn’t have to think about it, I just did the right thing. Our team could be eliminated in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. We have to make a decision. After reaching the final, everyone tells me that I made the right decision.

I think it would be a very honest move on my part to stay and try to help as much as possible to get this title. So today, I was confident that my choice was correct, regardless of whether our team advanced to the quarter-finals, semi-finals or finals. We are now in the final and I will do everything and give my life to win this title.

“I don’t know what will happen at the end of the year, a lot can happen. I know it works and I’m sure coming here has helped me a lot as a person and it’s helped me in my career as well.
As Diniz said, I believe that if we make the right choices, if we are honest and act with integrity, good things will always happen.”

Andre has been under Liverpool’s radar for at least 18 months, and the team is still hoping to close a deal before the January transfer window opens. Since Fluminense’s league season concludes in December, they should be more amenable to transfer negotiations now than they were in the summer.

Mario Bittencourt, the president of Fluminense, previously stated: “The top executive of Liverpool called me directly, making plain that this was the Reds’ situation all along. ‘My friend, I don’t sell a player now and I don’t deliver now,’ I responded to him. We can start talking whether you want to buy now to take in January, or if you prefer to wait until December and talk in December.

“I can attest to this; we were sent surveys for Andre instead of a proposal for him. We thought we would make it to the end of the Libertadores, so we decided not to sell him. A decision based on sports standards was taken.”

The most recent team to be linked to Andre Trindade, a transfer target for Liverpool, is Arsenal.

The Reds showed interest in the 22-year-old midfield player this summer.
Though they still had a chance to win a Copa Libertadores in 2023, Fluminense declined to consider offers for their number seven.

Nonetheless, the Rio-based team has consistently insisted that Andre can be sold during the winter transfer window.
The team will compete in the South American Champions League final next month.

Liverpool “Mario Bittencourt, the president of Flu, spoke with Billy Hogan, the chief executive of Liverpool, directly,” he told ESPN Brasil.
“My friend, I don’t sell players anymore, and I don’t deliver them anymore,” was my response to him.

We can discuss further if you would like to purchase now and receive the player only in January. We can also speak in December if you would prefer to wait until then.

There have also been reports of interest in the one-cap Brazil international from Fulham and West Ham in the past.
Another Premier League team is reportedly interested now, though.

By football, the Gunners “are interested” in Andre, according to Brazilian journalist Thiago Ferreira.
During the international break, London reports that Edu Gaspar, the technical director of Arsenal, was spotted at Fluminense.

Though Edu’s official visit was supposed to be for the purpose of learning about Fluminense’s “training methodology and DNA,” concerns about a potential transfer hijack have arisen due to the timing of the visit.

But Liverpool still has a significant advantage over Arsenal in the race to sign Andre.

According to Anfield Watch, Liverpool and Andre reached personal terms over the summer.
They even discussed using Andre’s release clause to force a deal through, but they refrained out of respect for Fluminense’s determination to hold onto their star player so they could have the best chance in club history of winning the Copa Libertadores.

Since the Brazilian team is willing to offer Liverpool favorable terms in January and priority over other suitors, they are able to maintain a positive relationship with the Reds’ management.

Despite Anfield having added four midfielders in the summer transfer window, Liverpool scouts watched Fluminense defeat Internacional in the semifinals.

As the transfer window reopens in January, Andre is still optimistic about moving to Liverpool.

One of Liverpool’s top summer targets for next year is made public

The ideal young forward has been identified by Liverpool, who want to bolster their lineup for next summer.

Over the past 12 months, Jurgen Klopp’s team has achieved an amazing rebuild by investing in youth and offloading experienced players.

The club lost Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, and Roberto Firmino in the summer as they moved to Saudi Arabia.

After Wataru Endo, Dominic Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, and Alexis Mac Allister joined the team last summer, the midfield in particular received the most attention.

The Reds have been connected to a number of possible replacements as a result of reports that Mo Salah may eventually depart for Saudi Arabia.

Johan Bakayoko is one of Klopp’s top priorities for his team to sign next year, the Liverpool Echo reports.

The PSV winger made an impression in the previous season and was on the verge of joining Brentford in the summer, but he turned it down to remain in the Eredivisie.

Bakayoko, who is only 20 years old, would be a great fit for this young Liverpool team and would be a true steal at an estimated £20 million.

The Merseyside team may make a move for a midfielder or defender as early as the January transfer window, according to rumours

According to reports, Arsenal will compete with Liverpool for Fluminense midfielder Andre Trindade, with the Reds having long-standing admiration for the player.

The 22-year-old, who this summer was strongly linked with a move to Liverpool, is reportedly being pursued by Arsenal, according to journalist Thiago Ferreira.

However, Fluminense, who was competing in the Copa Libertadores at the time, was unwilling to let their star player, Andre, leave, even for a reported fee of £34 million.

This January, however, is going to be a completely different story because Andre is expected to leave Fluminese for a move to Europe, with Arsenal now competing with Liverpool for the young player.

The Gunners have a history of bringing in players straight out of Brazil, most recently bringing in star winger Gabriel Martinelli in 2019 when he was just a teenager.

And Mikel Arteta might now be prepared to sign Andre, another promising Brazilian player, which would be a major setback for Liverpool’s summer plans.

Simply put, Liverpool must outbid Arsenal for Andre in January.

With how highly regarded Andre is becoming with each passing week, Liverpool cannot let Arsenal sign the midfielder before them.

Given Liverpool’s lack of depth in central midfield following this summer’s transactions, the Brazilian is a dream acquisition for the Anfield side in January.

Arsenal will be a tempting destination for Andre, but Liverpool might be a better fit for the budding superstar who could become a star at Anfield in the future.

Liverpool is allegedly interested in a Brazilian defender.

Still looking for a defender is the Reds.With a brand-new midfield but no additional defenders, Liverpool closed the summer transfer window with a bang.
It’s obvious that the center-back position needs to be filled with fresh talent.
The injury table is a point of contention for 32-year-old captain Virgil van Dijk’s teammates Ibrahima Konaté and Jol Matip like it’s the final musical chair.

Although Liverpool hasn’t historically done much business in the winter, they have been known to make exceptions if the need is great enough or the player is talented enough.
The ideal illustration of that would be van Dijk himself, with whom the Reds finally agreed to a contract in January 2018.

The Brazilian player Lucas Beraldo is one that Klopp and company are reportedly considering right now to fill the need in defense.
Currently, Beraldo represents Sao Paulo in his native Brazil.

The English and European teams are reportedly interested in him, according to the Brazilian media.

In addition to the Reds, Wolves and Newcastle United are also rumored to be contenders, and teams like Porto, Benfica, and Monaco are also being mentioned. The center back, who is 19 years old and also plays for Brazil’s U20 team, made his team debut last year.

He wouldn’t be the player vying for position next to van Dijk if he did make it to Merseyside.
Up until Klopp saw evidence of his abilities, he would hold down at least fourth place in the pecking order.

He might have been a good long-term project and a nice fit for the team, according to the scouting reports.

It’s possible, but it’s more likely that they’re just spreading false information and will soon disappear from the map.
