Fulham attempts for transfer laid bare – Player ‘unconvinced’ by Craven Cottage move, eyes now turned to summer
Even though Fulham was prepared to pay for André, the midfielder for Fluminense, they were unable to persuade him to join them last summer.
Trivela, who discusses the current interest in the highly regarded midfield player and Fulham’s attempts to sign him in the summer, makes this claim.
They clarify that over the past 18 months, other clubs have attempted to entice André away, saying he is “still the hot ticket” at the Brazilian club.
After winning the Copa Libertadores last year, Fluminense had anticipated losing both him and defender Nino, but Nino is the only one who has left, moving to Zenit in Russia.
Although André is still with the team, there are rumors that there will be more attempts to sign him during the next summer transfer window since Fluminense thinks he will be even more valuable.
They are aware that there are many suitors, including Fulham, who made an official bid for the midfield player in the previous season.

Although it was less than the €30 million that Liverpool had offered—roughly €25 million—their offer did not meet Fluminense’s expectations. The player was also not persuaded by the notion of relocating to Craven Cottage, as it was not his “preferred destination.” Any discussions “progressed little” as a result.
André chose to remain where he was, but his attention is now focused on the summer, when teams like Fulham may make a move for him, especially if they lose Joao Palhinha.
