Exclusive: “Personal Terms Agreed” – Liverpool Looking To Wrap Up Signing Of Ugarte-esque Gem

In Liverpool’s latest search for another midfielder, The Reds could change their scope to Brazil with heavily linked Fluminense midfielder, Andre.

The Reds have already acquired very forward-thinking and creative midfielders, but despite adding Wataru Endo to the ranks, it’s time to focus on the Fabinho-sized hole to fill.

This week on Transfer Insight, Dan has a chat with Brazilian reporter, Emmanuel Luiz about the potential move for Andre.

Emanuel said: “Manchester United went to Andre’s camp to talk with them about a possible negotiation… What they said was [Andre] had personal terms agreed with Liverpool.

“Andre said I want to go to Liverpool. Liverpool said they will talk to Fluminense after the window closes… done deal. Liverpool wants to close the deal in the first week of September.

“Fluminense wants to sell their share of the player but they want 20% of a sell-on clause. If Liverpool waits until after [international call-up], his market value will increase.”

It seems that The Reds will wait until January to obtain Andre’s services from Fluminense. Doing so will only increase the noise around getting another midfielder for now’s problems, however, sharing similar stylistic traits to Manuel Uguarte, a player previously admired by many among the fanbase, the 22-year-old Brazilian ticks plenty of boxes moving forwards and with Thiago likely to leave next summer, this could be an early answer.

With the defensive midfielder adamantly wanting the move, and while having impressive defensive stats, he may be just what the team needs to push on past January.

Liverpool are set to officially appeal for Alexis Mac Allister red card
As per the Liverpool Echo, Liverpool have shown their commitment to justice by officially submitting an appeal against the controversial red card given to Alexis Mac Allister during their recent Premier League match against Bournemouth.

The incident occurred when referee Thomas Bramall showed Mac Allister a straight red card after a challenge with Bournemouth’s Ryan Christie.

This event took place during Liverpool’s dominant 3-1 win at Anfield. The club’s decision to formally appeal this decision will be closely watched to see how it unfolds.

It’s worth noting that neither the watchful VAR Paul Tierney nor the sharp assistant Constantine Hatzidakis saw fit to suggest a review of the decision using the pitchside monitor.

This left Mac Allister in a precarious situation, facing a potential three-match suspension that could have significant consequences for both him and the team.

The context of this situation adds to its significance; Mac Allister, who was making his home debut, was a high-profile summer signing from Brighton for a fee of £35 million.

There was a great deal of excitement surrounding the Argentine’s performance, and his quick red card added an unexpected turn to the story. Liverpool’s substantial investment in the player’s potential is not something they treat lightly.

Klopp wasted no time expressing his doubts about the referee’s decision right after the match. His vocal questioning highlighted the seriousness of the situation and suggested that the club might challenge the controversial sending-off.

The appeal decision is expected later this week, and if unsuccessful, Mac Allister is likely to miss upcoming matches against Newcastle United, Aston Villa at home, and Wolverhampton Wanderers away.

The consequences of this appeal will extend beyond just a three-match suspension, affecting the team dynamics and its performance in the league.

This situation is reminiscent of last season when Darwin Nunez received a red card. Mac Allister has been a standout performer in our midfield, and while Curtis Jones has his moments, having the Argentine international available for crucial matches is preferable for now.
