West Ham United transfer news: Manchester United, Liverpool twists emerge in Andre pursuit
West Ham, Manchester United, Liverpool and Fulham have all been linked with a move to sign Fluminese midfielder Andre, per Trivela.
The Brazilian media outlet reported on 3 January that while there are reports of an agreement reached with Fulham to sign the 22-year-old, it’s far from the case.
Manchester United, Liverpool and the Hammers retain an interest in securing the services of the Brazil international who could be on his way out in January.
Not likely?
Andre is a full international who’s already won numerous awards including the Best Defensive Midfielder in Brazil in 2022.
The Hammers are also facing a time-sensitive situation with the January transfer window opening and the club needs to move quickly to avoid losing out to competitors.
The financial muscle and prestige of Liverpool and Manchester United pose substantial challenges for West Ham in the pursuit of Andre.
Liverpool, despite cooling their interest, retain significant allure, and Manchester United’s historical stature makes them formidable contenders.
Any delay in West Ham’s negotiations may allow Fulham, Liverpool or Manchester United to strengthen their positions, making the move to the London Stadium increasingly unlikely.
He may also not immediately strengthen the first team so that’s always something that they will need to consider in the coming weeks as there’s not an abundance of funds at the club this month.
