Liverpool told to offer more than £40m for Brazil international

Liverpool’s transfer focus right now is ALL on Alexander Isak. For the second time in the one summer, the Reds are preparing to break the British transfer record.

Liverpool signed Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for a fee that could reach £116m - while Isak will be moving for around £130m if a deal is done.

There are only three weeks left before the start of the season and no doubt Liverpool would LOVE to have him on board before then.

Liverpool seeking midfielders

If and when Isak is added, Liverpool can again move on to other targets. In their sights is a centre-back - perhaps Marc Guehi - while reinforcements could also be added at central midfield.

Anfieldwatch has detailed extensively the club’s interest in players like Nico Gonzalez, Samuele Ricci and Mikel Jauregizar. There is no doubt that Richard Hughes and the recruitment department have got midfielders on the list.

The burden was heavy on Ryan Gravenberch in the No6 role last season - and he could do with a partner to share the load.

Liverpool like Wolves midfielder Andre

One player reportedly on the list over the past few windows has been Wolves’ Brazil international midfielder Andre.

He has just completed his first season in the Premier League - putting out excellent statistics in several categories including tackles won, interceptions and recoveries per FOTMOB.

Andre, 24, joined Wolves from Fluminense for around £19m despite interest from Liverpool - and has got a contract at Molineux until 2029.

Wolves quote £40m+ for Andre

Liverpool have again been named as suitors this summer and the club have now discovered the asking price.

In an article revolving around Juventus’ interest in the 12-cap Brazilian, GIVEMESPORT reveals that Wolves have put a £40m price tag on Andre’s signature.

“They will have to put an offer worth more than £40million on the table if they want to stand a chance of securing his services before the September 1 transfer deadline,” the report reads.

“Juventus entered talks earlier this week, in an attempt to explore the terms that would be needed to convince Wolves to offload Andre.”

Having lost Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri - to Manchester United and Manchester City respectively - there is no desire on the part of manager Vitor Pereira to break up his squad any further.

It remains to be seen whether Liverpool get back involved with this transfer chase or if Juve will persuade Wolves to part with their midfield jewel.

Let’s see what happens with Isak and then further news on Andre could be forthcoming.
