Liverpool\u00a0have already signed four midfielders this summer but\u00a0Jurgen Klopp\u00a0may have his sights set on a fifth in January\u00a0with the Reds reportedly monitoring Brazilian starlet Andre. The Premier League side were strongly linked with the Fluminense man during the summer and, according to reports, Klopp could be tempted to revisit a deal in the winter transfer window.<\/p>\n
The Brazilian side have indicated they are prepared to let Andre depart in the winter but only if his release clause is activated. Reports suggest that the clause inserted into the 22-year-old\u2019s contract allows him to leave if a \u00a334million bid is made.<\/p>\n
Liverpool embarked on a drastic overhaul of Klopp\u2019s midfield in the summer, with the likes of James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all departing on a free transfer. Fabinho and Jordan Henderson were later sold to Saudi Arabian outfits Al-Ittihad and Al-Ettifaq respectively.<\/p>\n
The quintet were replaced with four new signings – Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Endo Wataru and Ryan Gravenberch – as part of a \u00a3130m splurge. But Liverpool could now sign another midfielder after being alerted to Andre\u2019s potential availability.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He claims that Liverpool are still \u2018monitoring\u2019 the player\u2019s situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n It comes after Fluminense president Mario Bittencourt opened up on discussions with Liverpool about Andre during the summer transfer window. Bittencourt revealed that he discussed a deal with Reds chief executive Billy Hogan, but told him the Brazilian Serie A side would not sell one of their best players at that time.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThere is an agreement between us, with the player and representative, that he would stay until the end of the year and they comply fully and with the utmost tranquillity,\u201d Bittencourt told ESPN.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

The iconic red, capped with bold white cuffs and collar really does invoke that classic Liverpool FC style while adding a cool retro touch<\/p>\n \u201cWhat they have done is work as a representative of the athlete that is: all the polling that arrives they communicate to Fluminense.<\/p>\n \u201cIn the case of Liverpool, I go even further. Liverpool\u2019s chief executive contacted me directly. And I replied to him, \u2018My friend, I don\u2019t sell players now and I don\u2019t deliver now.\u2019 If you want to buy now to take in January we can start talking, or if you want to wait until December and we talk in December.\u201d<\/p>\n Of Liverpool\u2019s summer midfield signings, only Endo can be considered a defensive midfielder. Bringing in Andre would solve the issue of providing depth in that position, with an eye on the future too given the Japanese is turning 31 in February.<\/p>\n
