Andre has responded to FootballTransfers’ exclusive story about Manchester United approaching Fluminense over a possible switch.
The midfielder has attracted the interest of the Red Devils, who have sounded out his current side about a possible move next year, with Casemiro’s future with the club uncertain.
After Fluminense’s 1-1 draw against Flamengo in the Brazilian Serie A, the 22-year-old was quizzed about the links and whether he had heard from the Premier League giants.
"I believe it's quite normal for these inquiries to be ongoing," he told ESPN Brazil. "They've been happening with Nino and Arias as well. It's even more prevalent since our team became Libertadores champions. Some offers arrived during the middle of the season, and there might be more towards the season's end. However, the handling of these matters is in the hands of my representatives.
“The offers will reach them, and then they will convey them to me. As of now, nothing has materialised, and we need to keep working diligently, concentrating on the remaining Brasileirão matches to prepare for the World Cup," he explained.

Andre continued: “ "I didn't know about (Man Utd’s interest). And I also don't think anything came of it. We're in November, there's the final stretch of the Brazilian Championship, there's the World Cup, but I'm very happy. Casemiro is a guy who has a huge career, I try to talk to him a lot when I'm with the national team. He's a person who gives me a lot of advice, he's a great leader and all I can do is continue playing well and I'm happy with all these surveys and comments."
"At this juncture, parting ways is quite challenging because I have a contract with Fluminense, and we also have crucial matches ahead. Nonetheless, I'm immensely content and grateful for this title and the unwavering support from the fans.
"At the conclusion of the season, we'll assess what the future holds. Every young player aspires to play in Europe someday. This isn't just my dream, but it's shared by the majority. With my current contract at Fluminense, proposals are likely to come in, and then it's time to engage in discussions with the club and determine what's best for all parties involved."
