Andre Trindade was reportedly a target for Liverpool last summer, according to Fluminense president Mario Bittencourt, who has been talking up the Brazilian star.

Four new players joined Liverpool’s midfield lineup in the summer as part of an overhaul of that group. Prior to Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo, and Ryan Gravenberch, there was Alexis Mac Allister.

However, there was another name that was frequently associated with a move: Andre Trindade. It still makes some stylistic sense a year later, in the midst of the hunt for a number six that ultimately produced Martin Zubimendi.

However, Andre’s Brazilian club Fluminense insisted that he stay until January at the latest. Andre was kept around for the FIFA Club World Cup, which Pep Guardiola’s team won 4-0 in December. He participated in that match. Despite the winter window, Andre stayed and is still under contract with the South American behemoth. Mario Bittencourt, the president of Fluminense, has now discussed the trade.

He claims that Liverpool made a bid for the midfield player, who was valued at $40 million (£30 million/€35 million), but the Reds comprehended his inability to let the 22-year-old go. Fulham has expressed interest in him as well.

According to him, “Liverpool understood our move and we knew that new offers would come in,” Flashscore reported. This time around, the player and his manager have been really open and honest with us.

We are aware that the player has the last say. We won’t oppose him if he wants to play overseas, and I’ve promised them that I’ll do everything in my power to fulfil this goal.”

According to Liverpool.com, Andre appears to be a player who may succeed in the Premier League, therefore it’s strange that no team has acquired him despite his frequent links to a move to England. It will be interesting to watch how he adjusts if he ever decides to switch.

Liverpool defender is close to signing a potential £20 million contract to join Brentford

Sepp Van Den Berg is allegedly on the verge of being sold by Liverpool.

Thomas Frank’s Brentford has been eyeing the 22-year-old for some time, and the Bees have expressed interest in signing him before the summer transfer deadline, which is at the end of the month.

David Ornstein of The Athletic has reported that Van Den Berg is expected to sign a long-term contract to depart Anfield.

The Dutch centre back might move on in quest of a fresh challenge if the Reds are successful in meeting their £20 million value.

Sepp Van Den Berg is about to depart from Liverpool

Van Den Berg, who enjoyed loan stints with Preston North End, Schalke, and Mainz after joining Liverpool from PEC Zwolle as a young player back in 2019, now appears likely to sign a permanent deal with a new team.

Van Den Berg hasn’t played for the team in more than five years, and it’s obvious that he has no position in the starting lineup going forward. However, the story with the Bees might be somewhat different.

Frank’s team seems to be the most frequently associated with Liverpool’s number 72, and they may formally bid on the player before the transfer window closes.

Liverpool signed a record agreement in January, and the club president acknowledged that the team will prioritise

reinforcements in midfield in the January transfer window, with coach Jurgen Klopp continuing to rebuild the position after a summer exodus

The president of Fluminense revealed that he anticipates Reds target Andre Trindade to depart the team, which gives Liverpool a boost for their January transfer ambitions.

With 53 games this season and a triumph in the Copa Libertadores last weekend, Andre has shown to be an impressive player for the Brazilian powerhouses. The 22-year-old has received two caps for the Selecao, a testament to his ability, which has won him a regular spot in the Brazil national squad.

Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, is also interested in him as he looks to rebuild his midfield following several summer departures. Fabinho, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jordan Henderson, James Milner, and Jordan Henderson all left Anfield during that window.

Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo, and Ryan Gravenberch were Klopp’s replacements. Despite the Reds’ strong start to the season, their manager is eager to expand his options at the position.

Given that he had asked about the Brazilian in the summer, that might lead him back to Andre. Fluminense turned down Liverpool’s offer, but club president Mario Bittencourt has now acknowledged he is prepared to let go of the 22-year-old in January.

“We have to wait. There isn’t a specific idea for Andre as of yet,” he said to Globo. “However, we are confident that a stratospheric proposition will come after the Club World Cup—he will participate in the World Cup.

“It might be the club’s largest sale ever.” Both Andre and Nino, the defender, are potential losses, but we are trying to find their replacements.

Additionally, Andre’s representative disclosed the details of his earlier-year discussions with Bittencourt. Additionally, he disclosed that a deal has been made for the midfield player to leave during the winter transfer window, should an offer be made.

We decided that it would only be exchanged starting in January 2024.

“In fact, there were a few offers (over the summer), which I received and sent to Mario, knowing that there would be no discussions. Unless Fluminense has a change of heart. He is not obligated to sell anyone, therefore he had no need to sit with me. But he was worried about this.

Andre will be concentrated on his team’s match against Internacional on Wednesday night, despite the growing rumours of his impending exit. Liverpool, meanwhile, is getting ready for their away trip to Toulouse on Thursday to resume play in the Europa League.
