Having risen through the ranks of the Fluminense youth system, Andre, who usually plays in the number six position but is versatile enough for a box-to-box role, boasts an impressive record of four goals and three assists in 170 matches across various tournaments. In the 2023 season alone, he played a remarkable 60 matches, making significant contributions to Fluminense's triumph in the Copa Libertadores.
Andre's standout performances haven't gone unnoticed on the international stage either, as he played a crucial role in Fluminense's Club World Cup campaign, reaching the final where they faced a 4-0 defeat by Manchester City. The Brazilian midfielder's form has also earned him a spot in the national team, with four caps to his name this year, including starts in the World Cup qualifying matches against Colombia and Argentina.
Although Fluminense has secured Andre under contract until the end of 2026 with a recent extension, the allure of European football seems inevitable in the near future. Andre himself has expressed a desire to play in the Premier League, and clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United have shown interest.
Surprisingly, Fulham is currently reported to be leading the race for his signature, anticipating life without Joao Palhinha. However, recent reports from Mundo Deportivo suggest that Barcelona and Manchester City are closely monitoring the situation, adding further intrigue to Andre's potential move to Europe.
