Liverpool urged to complete transfer for player that "fits in an absurd way"

Liverpool have been told that Andre fits into Jurgen Klopp's team in an "absurd way" after suggestions they are no longer the favourites to sign him in January.

The Brazilian has been linked with a move to Anfield since the summer after Fluminense rejected multiple bids from the Merseysiders.

They have continued pursuing him although the most recent update suggests that it's Fulham who are in the driving seat to seal his signature when the winter window opens in the New Year.

Now, TNT Sports host Tati Mantovani has asked journalist Bruno Formiga whether Andre is a suitable fit for Liverpool.

He replied: “I think without a doubt. Because André, he is a guy who takes pressure very well. He gets off pressure very easily. He clears the field very easily. In the rotation, he gives options all the time and that, for what Klopp likes, to speed up the game often, I think he fits in an absurd way.

“Because remembering, MacAllister plays this role at Liverpool, in the Argentine national team he will do something else. If you look at what he did against Brazil, it’s another movement, he’s in a more open midfield line to the left side than in a central lane. I think he did well in the game but I understand that it shouldn’t be Plan A for a team that already had other figures, playing this role with other characteristics. André, I don’t know if Liverpool will come back or try André again, but…

“Because this way, the Club World Cup can make André worth even more. Imagine if Fluminense eventually beats Manchester City, playing well. But I think he has everything to fit into Klopp’s game model. A lot of things. I think he fits into several. I think he plays easily at City, not as a starter, but I think he fits in. I think he easily plays in Liverpool’s team.”
