During the summer of 2023, Liverpool underwent a major reshuffling of its midfielders. Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo, and Ryan Gravenberch were among the acquisitions that brought life back into the midfield.
The possibility of signing a defensive midfielder has been reported in order to keep the team in the race for the top of the standings throughout the season. Among them, Fluminense midfielder Andre, who had been rumored during the summer, has been the top target.
However, according to recent reports, the bottom of the midfield is not a point of reinforcement, and the defensive midfield, where Joel Matip and Kostas Tsimikas have been injured one after the other, is considered to be the top priority.
The Express reports that Liverpool have decided to withdraw from the battle for the Brazilian midfielder.
Tottenham Hotspur are also eyeing a chance to land him, with some news reports saying that Fulham have reached an agreement between the clubs. With Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Giovani Lo Celso rumored to be on the way out, the 22-year-old midfielder is also being eyed as a possible replacement.
Liverpool has also reported interest in other experienced midfielders, such as Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha, but like their relationship with Andre, they are sitting on their butts. The likelihood of adding more midfielders this winter continues to diminish.
Will Liverpool ever bring in a new player in January?
