Liverpool have €30m bid for Brazil international turned down as midfield search drags on: Reports
Fluminense have reportedly rejected a bid from Liverpool form midfielder Andre Trindade. The Reds were ready to offer €30 million for the 22-year-old, but the Brazilian side were reluctant to sell.
As per a report in Brazilian outlet Lance (via Paisley Gates), Andre has not agreed on personal terms to join Liverpool despite several such claims in Europe. But the main stumbling block remain Fluminense, who are refusing to sell their prized asset.
They want the midfielder to stay at the club this season as they are confident of a good run in the Copa Libertadores. The report claims that they have informed Jurgen Klopp's side that a deal can only be done in January.
Fabrizio Romano also claimed something similar last week and told GiveMeSport:
The Lance report also claims that €30 million will not be enough for Fluminense to sell the midfielder.
With Andre unlikely to join Liverpool this summer, the Reds are looking at other targets. Fabrizio Romano has stated that Crystal Palace midfielder Cheick Doucoure is the latest target after they signed Wataru Endo from Stuttgart.
On his Here We Go podcast, Romano said:
He added:
Crystal Palace have put a whopping £70 million price tag on the midfielder whom they signed for £21 million last summer. The Mali international impressed last season and Klopp believes he is ideal for the Reds, who missed out on Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia to Chelsea.
