Arsenal has reportedly thrown its hat into the ring in the race to sign Brazilian midfielder Andre, who had been a Liverpool transfer target. The Gunners’ sporting director, Edu Gaspar, recently paid a visit to Fluminense’s training ground, raising speculation about their interest in the talented player.
Liverpool’s pursuit of Andre is no secret, having had a £25 million bid rejected for the Brazilian international during the summer transfer window. It is believed that the Reds are still keen to secure his services.
A recent report from Brazil has added a twist to the story, suggesting that Arsenal is making moves to challenge Liverpool for Andre. Brazilian journalist Thiago Ferreira stated, “Arsenal are interested in Andre and will try to cross Liverpool for him.”
Gaspar’s visit to Fluminense’s training ground further fuels the speculation. While the official reason for the visit was to gain insights into the club’s youth development process and continue the partnership between the two clubs, it is noteworthy given the context of Andre’s potential transfer.
It’s essential to note that this information isn’t merely a journalist connecting dots; it appears to come from reliable sources in Brazil. The prospect of a solid working relationship between Arsenal and Fluminense could facilitate a transfer.
While Fluminense is keen to retain Andre for as long as possible, the signs are pointing towards a January transfer. After the conclusion of the Copa Libertadores, in which Fluminense has reached the final, it is likely that Andre will be on the move.
All eyes from England will be on him as the Brazilian midfielder prepares for a high-stakes final against Boca Juniors at the iconic Maracana stadium on November 4. The battle for Andre’s signature is heating up, with Arsenal now firmly in the mix alongside Liverpool.
