Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest will now have to pay €30m after Brazil call-up

Corinthians raise asking price to €30m after André Luiz's Brazil call-up; Forest's summer bid of €12m was rejected.

Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest face a significantly higher price tag if they return for Corinthians midfielder André Luiz. Forest made a concrete offer of €12m in August, which was rejected, and talks eventually collapsed when the club opted to sign Gustavo Puerta instead. Palace also showed interest, sending a scout to watch him in July, but made no formal bid.

After earning his first Brazil senior call-up under Carlo Ancelotti for November friendlies against Japan and Singapore, Corinthians have raised their valuation to €30m (£26m). The club believe André's recent performances and international recognition justify the significant increase. The 20-year-old midfielder has made 41 appearances this season, scoring six goals and providing two assists, and has started six consecutive matches recently.

Corinthians are under no immediate pressure to sell, with André contracted until December 2029. There are currently no active negotiations reported, but the new asking price signals what either English club might face if their interest resurfaces.
