The latest news as Liverpool’s players face their last round of international fixtures until March.
Andre to Fulham done in ‘coming days’
For a long time it looked like Andre would become a Liverpool player in January, however, he now looks most likely to join Fulham.
Journalist Jorge Nicola, with quotes via Sport Witness, reports that Fulham are now favourites to sign him, with Fluminense ‘pleased’ by a £27 million offer.
The reporter even said the deal could be done in ‘the coming days’ as the player ‘likes the project’ at Fulham.
We know other clubs, including Liverpool, are interested, and Nicola did add that there is still the potential for bigger bids to come in for the Brazilian.

Hungary still remain unbeaten with him as captain in a streak that now stretches 12 games – the longest run in European international football.

Match of the night is North Macedonia vs. England at 7.45pm (GMT).
Trent Alexander-Arnold played in midfield for England’s last game, so it could be another chance to see him feature in that position again, with the match on Channel 4.
Mind, the other group game, where a win for Ukraine would see them qualify at Italy’s expense, is far more competitive and interesting.
