André Luiz: Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest told €30m, and player wants PL move

Corinthians demand €30m for 20-year-old midfielder André Luiz, who has told associates he prefers a Premier League move.

Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest showed interest in Corinthians midfielder André Luiz during the summer but failed to sign him. Corinthians have now set a asking price of €30m (£26m) for the 20-year-old following his first call-up to Brazil's senior squad for November friendlies against Japan and Singapore.

According to ESPN Brazil, André has privately expressed a preference for playing in the Premier League, though he remains open to other leagues. The timing could work in Corinthians' favour: a strong showing for Brazil could further boost his value and attract European interest.

However, several factors may delay any January move. Corinthians face a presidential election that could reshape their transfer strategy, and the club is also fighting relegation from Brazil's top flight. Both situations will influence how they handle André's future. The club previously rejected improved offers from AC Milan—first €17m, then €22m with bonuses—before Forest's €12m bid also failed.
