Sporting Lisbon are searching for a midfielder and Andre the 22-year-old of Fluminense could be the possible transfer to Jose Alvalade.
It is not a coincidence that his debut for the national team started in the stadium where Sporting plays. Though a loss, against Senegal with the result 2-4, this stadium is considered an important step in his career. Andre represents the ideal alternative for the men of Amorim. He is the primary objective of the club.
He is one of the main players of the Fluminense. Andre has all the numbers to be more competitive in Europe. But there is a huge gap between the desire to play abroad and the actual investment Fluminense asks to leave the player free.

The coach Fernando Diniz won’t let the player for less than 35 million euros. This is the primary price of negotiation. Another problem is that the player does not behave anymore as a single-club player.
That is because many English clubs are interested. Sporting must deal with the requirements of Andre also. But above all, they must consider paying Fluminense 35 million euros or the transfer won’t happen.
The club must consider other alternatives as well, with the Danish midfielder of Lecce Morten Hjulmand that is available to play. He started in 34 matches for Lecce last season. And he played an excellent average of 85 minutes per game.
With a contract that expires next summer, the player is a good alternative of play and at the same time represents strength and stamina.
But Andre is in pole position for the moment and the reasons are several. The first one is the age, with Hjulmand that is 24 years, still young, but has less experience with big clubs. The second reason is that the Brazilian could explode and his value can be skyrocketed.
Andre has the perfect abilities and the style of play that Liga Portugal wants and he can be the next big thing for Sporting Lisbon.
