Manchester United and West Ham United are ready to enter the race for Fluminense midfielder Andre, according to reports.
Marco Silva’s Fulham have long been credited with an interest in Andre, the Brazilian midfielder and looked to be ready to make a move for the 23-year-old in the summer.
However, this never occurred. Manchester United were believed to be interested in the summer too but instead decided to move for Moroccan midfielder Sofyan Amrabat, who has failed to impress this season for the Red Devils.
Now it seems that United, alongside David Moyes’ West Ham United, could be ready to make a move for the Brazilian either in the January or Summer transfer window.
Andre move
According to a report from Brazilian outlet Trivela, United and the Hammers are believed to be interested in the midfielder and with the season now over for his current club Fluminense, the Brazilian wants to sort out his future with the South American club.
Before the Brazilian side won the Copa Libertadores, they reached an agreement with the pair so that they could finish the season at the club, compete in the Club World Cup and then negotiate afterward.
This time has now passed and Andre is now keen on moving on from Fluminense and has set his sights on a move to the Premier League sooner rather than later.
Fulham reportedly see Andre as a replacement for Joao Palhinha but Trivela disputes this and says that no contact has taken place between the Cottagers and Fluminsense.
United keen on Andre
The Brazilian outlet goes on to say that United and West Ham are the sides most keen on
Signing a player like this could well be a risk but if the price is right, this could be a smart signing from the Red Devils as they look to bolster their midfield options.
Having already lost Donny van de Beek, and Casemiro and Amrabat potentially on their way out of the club at the end of the season, signing Andre could be a smart bit of business from the Red Devils.
