For the first time under manager Daniel Farke, Los Blancos have the chance to build on their success in the Premier League and, according to reports, that means spending big.<\/p>\n<p>The top priority in that regard may be to find a replacement for Aoi Tanaka. Much has been made recently about the midfielder&#8217;s future, with reports suggesting he could be close to a return to Germany.<\/p>\n<p>Questions have been raised over Tanaka&#8217;s future as a result of his playing time for Leeds this season. He is one of the few players to suffer in the club&#8217;s transfer business, with players like Anton Stacz rising above him.<\/p>\n<p>There have been signs in recent weeks that that is changing, but it may be too late at Elland Road. Leeds will be tasked with replacing the 27-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>This is where the transfer market comes into play. According to reports in Brazil, reported by Sport Witness, Leeds are considering a \u00a335m move to sign Andre from Wolves this summer.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being relegated, the Midlands club are set to command a hefty fee for the Brazilian, with the 49ers group currently interested in signing him, in what could become Leeds&#8217; second-biggest deal in history.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"pound-35m-andre-would-be-instant-upgrade-on-tanaka\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Andre_would_be_an_instant_upgrade_over_Tanaka_for_35m\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>Andre would be an instant upgrade over Tanaka for \u00a335m<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u00a335m may seem like a lot, but it is the price Leeds will have to pay to find an upgrade in Tanaka. Andre has been one of the few standouts in the Wolves&#8217; struggles this season.<\/p>\n<p>The South American has settled into life in the Premier League, forming a partnership with Jo\u00e3o Gomez, who is not at the bottom of the table.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"\" align=\"\" summary=\"\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">\n<p>PL 25\/26 P90<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">\n<p>Andre<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">\n<p>Tanaka<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>minutes<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>2,406<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>1,015<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>tackle<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>2.81<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>1.77<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>collect<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>6.81<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>5.23<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Pass completed<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>91%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>85.6%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Successful duel<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>52.6%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>43.7%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>Described as &#8220;powerful&#8221; by Como scout Ben Mattinson, Andre has thrived where Tanaka has struggled this season.
