Tuttosport: Milan must pay around €25m for Brazilian midfield target | OneFootball

AC Milan will need to fork out around €25m for Brazilian midfielder Andre Trindade this summer if they want to sign him from Fluminense.

As reported by Tuttosport (via Milan News), the Rossoneri are keeping a close eye on Andre as an option for the midfield, given he could be the right profile of player to add more stability to the team and offer more protection to the back line.

A handful of names have been linked with this role, namely Youssouf Fofana and Adrien Rabiot. Andre would perhaps be the riskier option given he has not played in Europe but he is younger at 22 years old and is very highly rated.

By one count, Andre has won the ball back more than anyone else in world football recently with 406 tackles, meaning he could be the perfect fit.

A fee of around €25m also makes him a very attractive proposition from an economic standpoint, as he could be worth much more than that in the future if he were to hit the ground running at Milan.

Andre was heavily linked with Liverpool last season but they opted for other midfield targets and it was something of a surprise to see him stay in Brazil for another year.
