The 22-year-old is certain to leave Brazil but has he given any indication as to which club he prefers?
What has Andre said about his future?
Speaking to The Guardian in November 2023, Andre said: “I follow the Premier League a lot,” he says when asked about his dream for the future. “It’s a very competitive league that demands a lot from players. But today my dream is to live day by day here in Fluminense. I don’t know what will happen in the future; I have a long contract at Fluminense and I really like being here.
“It’s been 10 years already so it’s where I feel at home. I’m still young, only 22 years old, so there’s no need for me to think too far ahead. I just need to keep doing my best, try to win this trophy and then see what happens at the end of the season.”
In the same month, he commented on the links to Man Utd, telling ESPN:
“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."
