Fabinho's shock transfer to Saudi Arabia means that Liverpool simply have to sign a defensive midfielder before the start of the 2023-23 season - and maybe even two, given Jordan Henderson has also moved to the Middle East.
Romeo Lavia is clearly Jurgen Klopp's top target, with Southampton having already rejected two bids for the Belgian teenager. However, it has now emerged that Liverpool are also lining up Fluminense midfielder Andre, either as an alternative to Lavia - or to compete for that hugely important role in front of an undeniably brittle back four.
The Anfield faithful are obviously very familiar with Lavia's talents, given the former Manchester City academy star is just coming off the back of a breakout season at St. Mary's - but less is known about Andre, who plies his trade in his native Brazil.
So, how good is the 22-year-old, who has been capped once by the Selecao, and would he prove a worthy successor to Fabinho? GOAL tells you everything you need to know about Andre below...
