Liverpool have been reportedly rejected again after Fluminense turned down a €30 million (£25.55m/$32.5m) offer for midfielder Andre.
According to ESPN, the Brazilian club has rebuffed Liverpool’s approaches for their star midfielder.
Despite Liverpool’s desire to secure Andre before the transfer window closes on September 1, Fluminense remains adamant to hold onto the Brazilian international.
After missing out on Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, Liverpool have shifted their attention to other targets.
The English side want to further reinforce their midfield after the departures of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson to Saudi Arabia.
They have already got on board Wataru Endo from Stuttgart in a £19 million ($24m) deal.
Meanwhile, they are looking to add one more midfielder to the roster.
However, it is understood that Fluminense’s board communicated to Liverpool that even an increased offer would not prompt them to change their mind as Andre is not up for sale.
The 22-year-old is contracted to Fluminense until December 2026. He is a pivotal player under coach Fernando Diniz. So far, he has already participated in 40 games this season.

Fellow Premier League rivals, Fulham, had earlier bid €20m for the player, but Fluminense stuck to their guns and rejected the Cottagers.
The Brazilian club harbours lofty ambitions to win the Copa Libertadores this season and hence are not willing to part ways with their prized asset.
