President confirms Liverpool move to sign Brazilian – admits ‘we can talk in January’
LIVERPOOL failed in a move for Andre Trindade over the summer, but Fluminense president Mario Bittencourt has dropped a big January hint.
Alex Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Wataru Endo have arrived in the summer window as Liverpool looked to revamp the side, while the Reds were also linked with the likes of Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia and Fluminense star Andre.
Jurgen Klopp knows that he is a man that did not manage to get all the transfer business done that he had hoped for over the summer, and will try and use the January window to add a few more new faces to the side.
Bittencourt says Liverpool got in contact over a move for the young midfielder over the summer but were quickly rebuffed, but the Fluminense chief did not rule out a move in January, in fact he said he would be keen to discuss it.
WHAT HAS BEEN SAID –
‘Liverpool’s executive director [Billy Hogan] contacted me directly,’ the president told ESPN. ‘And I replied to him: “My friend, I don’t sell players now and I don’t deliver now”.
‘[I told him]: “If you want to buy him now to take him in January, we can start talking, or if you want to wait until December, we’ll talk in December”.’

LIVERPOOL did want the lad over the summer window and maybe they will want him in the January window, but Klopp and co. will not be ripped off and will only pay what they feel Andre is worth.
The January window is many months away anyways and there is alot of football between now and then – Klopp will not be worried about what he doesnt have and will be hoping that what he has now will improve the side.
