The international football transfer window is set to open in January and will be crucial in strengthening the world’s best teams.
Highlight of the Portuguese Championship, striker André Luiz, who plays for Rio Ave and spent time in Brazil with the Flamengo team, has attracted interest from giants Olympique Marseille and Bayer Leverkusen.
According to information from the GOAL site, Marseille has already taken the lead in the competition by sending recruiters to the Rio Ave games to evaluate the athlete.
Bayer Leverkusen has been tracking the striker since October, but the German team’s idea is to wait until the start of the year to take the next step by signing the athlete.
André Luiz arrived at Rio Ave earlier this year, after playing for Estrela Amadora, also Portuguese. This season, the striker has found the net five times and also has five assists in 15 matches played.
