A Brazilian midfielder valued at $43m would like to move to Anfield while Jürgen Klopp has been reacting to his side’s 3-2 Toulouse defeat.
Liverpool continues to be heavily linked to Fluminense midfielder André Trindade, but news surrounding the Brazilian is producing contrasting reports.
While the André talk continues, Liverpool missed the chance to secure a passage to the knockout round of the Europa League following a 3-2 defeat against Toulouse. Here’s your round-up of the latest Liverpool news.
Jürgen Klopp names ‘main issue’ with Liverpool
Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp felt that his side was unfortunate with the decision to disallow Jarell Quansah’s late goal against Toulouse for an Alexis Mac Allister handball in the build-up.
However, the German player admitted that his team simply did not play well enough to win.
“I have only seen the video, but for me this is not handball,” Klopp said in the post-match press conference (transcribed by Liverpool’s official website).
“But how do I determine that? The ball hit my chest, but honestly it doesn’t look like it hit my arm.
They probably had a different picture than I did.” “It had been so long since I had scored a goal that I thought, ‘Where’s the free kick?’
I didn’t actually see it, but I heard that in other circumstances there would have been a penalty, but I I don’t think so.” I don’t know that.
In fact, I’m a little worried that we would have liked it more if we had played it.
To be honest, it was better that way. That’s my main issue tonight. It’s more aggressive in a football sense. ”
The $43 million Brazilian wants a move to Liverpool
Andre was the talk of Liverpool fans this week after Fluminense’s historic Copa Libertadores victory.
The 22-year-old has been linked with Liverpool in the summer and speculation has increased in recent weeks.
According to Brazilian journalist Emmanuel Ruiz, the player is keen to sign for the Reds in January, but Fulham appear to be leading the race to sign him.
“So I’ll say it loud and clear for you,” Lewis told Redmen TV. “We are already discussing a release clause of $43m (£35m/€40m).
Fulham and Liverpool were on the list.” Andre really wanted Liverpool in the middle of the year. One thing is clear: Andre wants Liverpool.
But the most important thing at the moment is that Andre wants Fulham, not Liverpool.
And I also confirmed this and spoke to some people at the club and they said that Andre will play for the club that made the best offer to Fluminense.
“He wants Liverpool and Liverpool want to pay around $32m (£26m/€30m) but what Fulham have done is what they told Fluminense.
That means he has a release clause of $49m (£40m/€45m).”
Same as Fulham, which means he will pay a release fee and add some additional clause. is. ”
