Manchester United have set their sights on Fluminense’s highly-rated midfielder Andre, with reports suggesting the Premier League giants are prepared to table a bid around £30 million. The 22-year-old Brazilian has been a standout performer for Fluminense, particularly noted for his instrumental role in the club’s recent Copa Libertadores victory.
Andre, who has been on the radar of several top European clubs, has become a hot commodity in the transfer market. Liverpool, who have already made a £26 million bid that was subsequently rejected, had reached personal terms with the player, but Fluminense is adamant about retaining his services until the end of their domestic season.
This development opens the door for Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, both of whom have recently entered the fray.
United’s interest in Andre aligns with their broader strategy to bolster their midfield options, especially with the potential departure of veteran midfielder Casemiro, who has been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League. Tottenham, on the other hand, are keen to sign Andre if they can secure the sale of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who is attracting interest from Juventus
As the January transfer window approaches, the competition for Andre’s signature is expected to intensify. Manchester United’s willingness to meet Fluminense’s valuation could be a decisive factor, but they will likely face stiff competition from Liverpool, Tottenham, and possibly other European clubs looking to strengthen their midfield options. The next few months will be crucial in determining whether Andre makes the move to Old Trafford or finds a new home elsewhere.
