 for the emerging talent and are willing to bid as high as €30m (£25.8m). Liverpool are also interested in signing Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia and have already seen an offer of £37m rejected by the Championship club. It's thought they have made a revised offer of around £41m, but Southampton's asking price is £50m. As reported by ESPN, Liverpool will have to wait until after Fluminense play Argentinos Juniors in the second leg of their Copa Libertadores clash at the Maracana - Fluminense's home ground - on August 8. The first leg took place in Argentina on Tuesday. If Fluminense reach the quarter-finals of South America's premier club competition, they may be less inclined to sell Andre. The midfielder still has three-and-a-half years remaining on his contract and is considered a key member of their squad. It's believed Liverpool have been scouting Andre for a while, with Fulham recently seeing a €20m (£17.2m) bid rejected. Fluminense's president Mario Bittencourt has previously suggested the club will not sell Andre during the middle of the season. Who do you think Liverpool should sign this summer?

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp wants to sign a central midfielder before the summer transfer window slams shut in a month’s time – with two players on his shortlist
Liverpool may have to wait for another week to find out whether Andre, their new transfer target, is available this summer.
