Fulham and Fluminense agreed a fee of £25m for the sale of Brazilian international André, according to various reports this evening.
The deal appears to bring to an end eighteen months of discussions between the sides about a potential move to the Premier League and Fluminense have moved to secure the services of Facundo Bernal, who has been described in the Brazilian press as Andre’s replacement.
The Copa Libertadores winner is set to sign a five-year contract at Craven Cottage, according to Goal.
Oh finally FO FU sales
Hopefully this opens the floodgates even just a crack
*FO FU sakes
About time if true this has been running for ages. hopefully any injury problems rumours are only temporarily. He is a better option than Mctominay who obviously would only join us under protest
I think it is good deal if compares with Mctominay.
If this is true it’s good but until I see him in a Fulham shirt I won’t belive it McTominay won’t come to us he wants a bigger club ie Liverpool Chelsea etc Let’s hope now there will be a few more signings Also we must not sell Jay Stansfield give Jay a good run in the side
If we can get this deal, ESR and Sess all done then great news. We still need a CB and another centre forward but the immediate panic could be over assuming all 3 are done. We only have 3 weeks to our first game so let’s hope they can get these done quickly and move on to the other positions we desperately need.
Lots of YouTube clips one compilation Andre Trindade 2023 and he looks brilliant, looks better than Palhinha , not sure what level he’s playing at of course,and scores some excellent goals. No wonder Marco and TK were patient. Only 23years and supposedly a 5 year contract.
With this and Sess and ESR where does this leave Pereira?
I have not read about this transfer anywhere else so where does this information eminate. Is it just a rumour or has it got any credence. A good signing if it does go ahead
Steve D – ESR can play on left so replaces willian, Sess a backup to robinson and Andre a CDM so doesn’t affect periera
He is good option as a number 8, rather than a 6, great ability going forward.
He’ll produce a lot more forward passes than Joao.
We have Lukic and Reed to play 6. I’d love to see him in a Fulham shirt.
I hope this is true and let’s now get a few of our other positions filled before the friendlies start in Portugal.
As a Fluminense fan, I can say that he is Brazil’s best midfielder: combative in protecting the defense, extremely skillful and fast in passing.
One thing that is also great about him is his commitment. Different from other young Brazilian players, Andre shows great dedication and has never been involved in any scandal or in stupid behaviour.
We are all sad to see him leave, but also very happy for him and wishing him the best at Fulham. It’s a fantastic hire, guys. Hopefully the adaptation will go smoothly and you will love him as much as we do.
Many thanks for your post Leo, we are very much looking forward to seeing him in a Fulham shirt. Sorry for your lose but we too are quite accustomed to losing some of our best players. Really appreciate your sporting and generous attitude, wish there were more with the same approach. Good luck for the upcoming season.
Joshua – thought ESR wore the no. 10 shirt at Arsenal!
Josh / Steve _ ESR has played wide left or as a 10 or an 8 & although Sess has played as a left back, that’s not where he was with us when he departed. I’d expect him to come in as an attacker (with the bonus of emergency cover for Jedi).
All a bit fingers-crossed atm but if we can add ESR & André to the Sess, Marco will have a bunch of variations to experiment with and all of them look good to me.
Yes get these deals done quickly Fulham can’t wait for the new season come on you whites
Its has all gone quiet . Are we still trying to haggle over the fee. He will be a good addition and a younger player so what is the hold up. Has anyone got anymore information
