Chelsea are keen on signing 22-year-old Brazilian midfielder Andre, who is also on the radar of Liverpool.
According to the Record via Sport Witness, Chelsea are interested in the services of Brazilian sensation Andre and are planning to push for his signatures. The Blues are looking to sign the 22-year-old midfielder and loan him out to Portuguese club Sporting CP.
While the Blues are keen on acquiring his services, they face a major hurdle in Liverpool. The Merseyside club are keen on signing a new defensive midfielder because of the departure of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho. And, they have already submitted a bid according to a report by ESPN.
Andre has gone from strength to strength over the past few seasons. He has come up the ranks at Fluminense and managed to establish himself as a first-team regular. He is a guaranteed starter in the Brazilian club and a very important part of their first team. As a result, they are not going to let him leave on the cheap.
As per ESPN, the Brazilian club will make a decision regarding his future next week. They will let him leave only if they fail to progress in the CONMEBOL Libertadores. If Fluminense fail to go past Argentinos Juniors in their return fixture in the round of 16, they will let the 22-year-old leave.
Meanwhile, Liverpool have already approached the Brazilian club with an offer worth €25 million. The Merseyside club are in desperate need of a new defensive-minded midfielder, and they are ready to go all out to land the Brazilian international. The Reds are prepared to go up to €30 million to sign Andre.
While their priority was to sign Romeo Lavia from Southampton, they have failed to strike a deal with the Saints. The negotiations have reached a standstill and as a result, they are pushing hard for the 22-year-old who is still on the radar of Chelsea.
While the Blues are also in need of a new defensive midfielder, their objective of signing Andre is different from that of Liverpool. The Reds want him to be a part of their first team while the Blues are looking to loan him out to Sporting.
The Portuguese giants are desperate to have the Brazilian sensation in their ranks. But they cannot afford to meet the asking price. As a result, Chelsea owner Todd Boehly who has a great relationship with the club wants to help them out.
Eventually, Andre could return to the London club and be a part of their first team given the amount of potential he has. With Chelsea and Liverpool ready to battle it out, it will be interesting to see who comes out on top.
