Fluminense’s rising star midfielder, 22-year-old Andre, has recently expressed his strong ambition to play in the English Premier League. Having garnered attention from multiple top-tier Premier League teams including Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, and Manchester United, and a surprise lead by Fulham in the pursuit of his signature, Andre’s future is a hot topic in football circles.
As reported by Goal.com on Tuesday, December 19, 2023, Comparisons are being drawn between Andre and Danilo, a former Palmeiras midfielder who was linked to Arsenal before joining Nottingham Forest. Currently participating in the Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia, Andre has been instrumental in Fluminense’s journey to the final, where they face either Urawa Red Diamonds or Manchester City on December 22.
Andre openly shared his aspiration to join the Premier League, calling it “a big dream.” He remains focused on Fluminense’s current goals, particularly aiming to win the Club World Cup. The prospect of facing Manchester City in the final excites him, as he regards them as one of the world’s best teams in recent years.
Andre’s performance has been noteworthy, having led Fluminense to Copa Libertadores victory and making 60 appearances across various competitions this season. His international career with Brazil kicked off in June, earning him four caps so far. Despite not having a win at the senior international level yet, with a draw against Venezuela and losses to Colombia, Argentina, and Senegal, Andre’s potential and ambitions are clear indicators of his promising future in football.
