Fulham have revived their interest in the services of 22-year-old Fluminense midfielder Andre Trindade amidst interest from Manchester United.
According to a report by Football Transfers, Fulham are back in the race for the services of Andre Trindade. The Cottagers were in talks with Fluminense earlier in the month over a potential transfer but they decided to look elsewhere. However, they have decided to revive their interest as they plan to incorporate him into their team in the ongoing transfer window.
Andre has made quite a name for himself of late. The 22-year-old who came up the ranks at Fluminense and made it to their first team in 2021 is now one of the mainstays. His impressive rise and consistent performances have also earned him a place in the Brazil national team.
Those performances have also resulted in a lot of interest from across Europe. Fulham and Manchester United are two clubs that have been linked with the defensive midfielder. The Red Devils are not happy with the levels Casemiro has showcased this season and he is not getting any younger. As a result, they do need a young player who can replace him and help them out in the long run.
Andre is one of the names that has been on their radar. While their interest might seem to have diminished following Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s takeover, they could still make things difficult for Fulham. The Cottagers have been monitoring the 22-year-old for a while now.
They feel he is a perfect fit for the club and their CEO Alistair Mackintosh was in talks with Fluminense when he visited Brazil following the 2023 Copa Libertadores final. Their manager Marco Silva was in contact with the Brazil international and the midfielder was encouraged by the project at hand.
Despite having made quite a bit of progress, Fulham dropped the idea of signing him and they communicated to both parties that they were exploring other options. But, they have made a U-turn now and the second approach has resulted in positive talks. The prospect of transfer in the ongoing window is still alive.
The discussions with the player have gone down well and personal terms won’t be a problem. With the player’s side of things taken care of, the Cottagers now need to make a concrete offer if they want to ensure they get their man before the window shuts.
