Following up on the news of Liverpool soon launching a bid for Fluminese star Andre Trindade, that speculation now has a number to it.
Liverpool will make an offer of £21.5 million for a Brazilian midfielder.
According to Brazilian media site Terra, cited by Paisley Gates (through ECHO) and ECHO, the Reds will shortly make an offer to purchase Andre for £21.5 million. With the start of the season just around the corner, Liverpool’s ongoing midfield “rebuild” has been under the limelight due to the anticipation surrounding this potential bid.
When seen in light of recent events, this story takes on much more complexity. The Reds may have accelerated their pursuit of Andre as a result of the club’s second rejection of their bid for Romeo Lavia.
In light of these circumstances, Trindade’s potential interest is welcome news for supporters as there hasn’t been any transfer movement since we bought Dominik Szoboszlai, with the exception of the departures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho.
It will be fascinating to see how Fluminese reacts if Liverpool does make Trindade a counteroffer. The Brazilian team could be reluctant to let go of one of their important players, but Trindade might find it difficult to reject the opportunity to play for a prestigious European club like Liverpool.
In general, Liverpool supporters will be closely monitoring developments over the next few days as the club attempts to bolster its roster in advance of the new season. Liverpool will make an offer of £21.5 million for a Brazilian midfielder Andre Trindade thus transfer summer.
If Liverpool is successful in acquiring the services of Andre Trindade, it will likely strengthen their midfield and increase their chances of winning both domestically and internationally.
He can play the Fabinho role, as well as central midfield. Jurgen Klopp could mould him as a Georginio Wijnaldum replacement, as his statistics via WhoScored show that he excels best in a box-to-box role.
