But my dream is clear: to be a Premier League player.” When asked about joining the two Spanish giants, he said, ” Barça or Madrid? They are two great clubs, but I would choose Barça.”

The 22-year-old is highly rated around Europe, and he could be a key player for all three clubs. Liverpool have been linked with a move for Andre for several months. They tried to sign him in the summer transfer window as well, but Fluminense were not keen on letting him leave back then.

Meanwhile, Barcelona need to bring in a quality long-term replacement for Sergio Busquets, and the 22-year-old certainly fits the profile.

However, the Catalan giants are going through financial difficulties, and they might find it hard to get the deal done. As far as Real Madrid are concerned, they have enough quality and depth in the central midfield. However, they are putting together a squad for the future, and Andre has all the tools to develop into a quality midfielder in the future.

The Brazilian would be a superb long-term addition for all three clubs, and he could improve them immensely. It will be interesting to see where he ends up eventually. He needs to join a club where he will get ample first-team action so that he can continue his development with regular football.
