Liverpool decided against pursuing a new defensive midfielder after being rejected by Martin Zubimendi despite one former target's availability on the market
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. With the latest summer transfer window now closed, Liverpool’s search for a new long-term defensive midfielder will enter a third year. The Reds’ pursuit for a long-term successor for Fabinho has now ended in disappointment in each of the past three summers. Jurgen Klopp was snubbed by Aurelien Tchouameni, Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, with the former opting for Real Madrid in 2022 before the latter pair joined Chelsea the following year.
However, supporters could be forgiven for wondering why Liverpool did not revisit interest in Andre after missing out on Zubimendi. After all, they were happy for the Brazilian to be the answer to their defensive midfield search a little over 12 months ago. 'There was an official proposal from Liverpool last year during the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores,' Fluminense president Mario Bittencourt recently recalled to Flashscore when explaining why the Reds had been unsuccessful.
