As per reports, Andre could now go back to being ‘Plan A’ for Liverpool as they scramble to recruit new midfield options before the season starts.
Liverpool’s midfield struggles continue as the transfer window deadline day creeps up. Liverpool have had yet another bid for Romeo Lavia rejected by Southampton.
This has left the Reds in a tough position as the transfer window deadline day looms in the distance.
The Reds are in desperate need of at least one new defensive option in their engine room. Especially after the departures of Milner, Fabinho, and Henderson this summer.
Liverpool are eager to get a deal finalized for Lavia but their latest offer of £46 million including add-ons was still not enough to sway the Saints. The Championship side are sticking to their £50 million valuation.
This is now the third bid Jurgen Klopp and his team have tabled and had knocked back.
Liverpool to make Andre their first priority?
The Reds remain keen on Lavia but they are also linked to other options, including Andre of Fluminense. This transfer link has been up in the air lately, but recent updates suggest a move could well come to fruition in this window.
However, there have been rumours that the Brazilian outlet is not willing to sell the player up until January.
As per reports, Liverpool’s latest Southampton snub could see them kick their pursuit of Andre up a gear.
As it stands, the Merseysiders are honing in on the 22-year-old, who has three years left on his current contract with Fluminense.
The report claims that André could now go back to being Liverpool’s ‘Plan A’ as they scramble to recruit new midfield options before the season starts. The Brazilian has a Transfermarkt value of €15 million (£12.9m).
Now, Liverpool needs a tried and tested powerhouse to plug the gaps left by Fabinho and the rest. Hence, they could explore options if they continue to hit roadblocks with Lavia.
