Fluminense midfielder Andre Trindade is ready to join Liverpool.

The Reds failed with a €25m bid for Andre over the summer, but have maintained contact.

And local reporter Francois Plateau has stated the Brazil international has already reached a verbal agreement with the Merseysiders.

However, no deal between the two clubs has yet been settled.

Arsenal are also in contact, with Andre being considered as a replacement for Thomas Partey, who is a target for Juventus.

Negotiations for Fluminense could intensify after Saturday's Copa Libertadores Final which will see Flu facing off against Boca Juniors at the Maracana.
