Crystal Palace ‘monitoring’ André Luiz, scout says | OneFootball

Crystal Palace head scout Alessandro Brito says the club are monitoring Corinthians midfielder André Luiz, but there have been no talks. According to Meu Timao, the 20-year-old stayed at Corinthians in the last window and continues to attract European interest.

"Talks with André Luiz and Danilo, from Botafogo, did not take place, but they remain under our monitoring and are on a broad list we track game by game."

He was speaking to ESPN’s Fala a Fonte.

Nottingham Forest explored a deal in the window, but it did not advance. Ge.globo reported Olympiacos, from the same group as Forest, offered 10 million euros, around R$ 59 million, which Corinthians rejected.

In March, Corinthians lined up a sale to Milan worth up to 17 million euros, about R$ 104 million. Days after accepting, president Osmar Stabile blocked the move following a negative reaction from supporters.

"Today the Premier League is number one for speed and acceleration data. If a player lacks the physical attributes to play there, it is a cut-off, so we seek strength and speed tied to technical quality."

"The differential with Bidon, for example, is that he is not quick physically, but he makes the game quick. He does not necessarily need that physical side, and that way of acting is what Danilo has in his essence."
