Liverpool’s pursuit of Andre Trindade seems to have cooled down, as reports suggest the club is no longer keen on the midfielder.
The decision comes despite Trindade’s noteworthy performance in a recent match against Brazil, where he made a crucial tackle against Liverpool teammate Luis Diaz.
Diaz, who recently faced personal challenges with the kidnapping of his father, scored twice in the game, leading Colombia to a 2-1 victory.
Trindade’s standout moment came in the first half when he executed a stunning tackle to thwart Diaz’s progress, catching the attention of Liverpool fans who might not have been familiar with him six months ago.
Liverpool’s interest in Trindade dates back to the summer, but Fluminense, the club he represents, rejected Liverpool’s approach, aiming to focus on their Copa Libertadores campaign.
The decision proved fruitful as Fluminense secured a historic 2-1 victory against Boca Juniors earlier this month.
Liverpool’s midfield has faced challenges since the departure of Fabinho, with Alex Mac Allister attempting to fill the void but facing constraints on his attacking contributions. Wataru Endo, another option, has taken time to settle into the team.
Andre Trindade Performance: The Right Guy for Liverpool?
In the recent game against Brazil, Andre Trindade showcased his abilities by winning six of seven ground duels and maintaining a 96% pass completion rate.
His performance earned him a Sofascore rating of 7.3, making him Brazil’s second-best player in the match.
Despite reported interest from Arsenal, Manchester United, and Fulham, the Merseysiders are said to have cooled their pursuit of the 22-year-old midfielder.
Fluminense’s president has indicated a willingness to let Trindade leave for the right price in January.
The tackle on Diaz emphasized Trindade’s capability to compete at the highest level in the Premier League, sparking continued interest in his potential signing.
