Chelsea’s Sights Set: 22-Year-Old on Radar as Liverpool Makes Bid
Chelsea is interested in acquiring Andre, a 22-year-old Brazilian midfielder who is also a target for Liverpool.
According to the Record via SportWitness, Chelsea is interested in acquiring the services of the Brazilian phenomenon Andre and intends to pursue him aggressively.
The Blues are interested in signing the 22-year-old midfielder and loaning him to Sporting CP.
While Chelsea is eager to acquire his services, Liverpool presents a formidable obstacle. Due to the departures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, the Merseyside club is eager on signing a new defensive midfielder.
According to a report from ESPN, they have already submitted a proposal.
Throughout the past few seasons, Andre has continued to improve.
He has risen through the ranks at Fluminense and established himself as a regular starter.
He is a vital member of the Brazilian club’s first team and a guaranteed starter. Therefore, they will not allow him to depart on the cheap.
According to ESPN, the Brazilian club will decide on his destiny next week.
They will only allow him to depart if they do not advance in the CONMEBOL Libertadores.
If Fluminense cannot defeat Argentinos Juniors in the round of 16 return match, they will release the 22-year-old.
Meanwhile, Liverpool has already made an offer of €25 million to the Brazilian club.
The Merseyside club is frantic for a new defensive-minded midfielder and is willing to do whatever it takes to acquire the Brazilian international.
The Reds will pay up to €30 million to acquire Andre.
Prioritizing signing Romeo Lavia from Southampton, they were unable to reach an agreement with the Saints.
The negotiations have stalled, and as a result, they are making a strong drive for the 22-year-old who is still on Chelsea’s radar.
Although Chelsea are also in need of a new defensive midfielder, their intention in acquiring Andre differs from Liverpool’s.
The Reds desire him to be a member of their first team, while the Blues intend to loan him to Sporting.
The Portuguese are frantic to acquire the Brazilian sensation, but they cannot afford to pay the asking price.
As a result, Chelsea owner Todd Boehly, who has an excellent rapport with the club, desires to assist them.
Given his potential, Andre could eventually return to the London club and become a member of their first team. It will be fascinating to see who emerges victorious when Chelsea and Liverpool face off.
