I have the feeling that GGG vs Andrade may be announced

Andrade has no fight scheduled yet. Also Canelo declared that
“The objective of this year so to win all the belts,” Canelo said. “If Golovkin has a belt, then yes. Why not? We’ve given the fans two beautiful, great fights. Why not a third?”

Unless they throw a huge purse at Andrade (which is unlikely for Golovkin's "warm-up" fight), there is no way he will fight Golovkin. Instead, he will fight a safe opponent and secure a September clash with Canelo. I think he is even hesitant to fight Sulecki posing some risk.

I thought Eddie Hearn Confirmed earlier this week Andrade would be fighting Sulecki On June 22nd or June 29th at Dunkin Donuts Arena in Providence, Rhode Island?
Also I heard GGG was deciding between N'Dam and Steve Rolls as his next opponent?

GGG having that WBO title vs Canelo in a third match would make more $ense for DAZN than Andrade vs Canelo.

Andrade hasn’t got an opponent yet.

They can have both.
Andrade this year. Golovkin next year.
I have a hunch DAZN doesn't want Fight 3 too soon.
It's their crown jewel bout. Why offer it early in the long term contracts of Canelo and Golovkin?

GGG could defend that potentially WBO title a few times then fight Canelo in 2020.

There's just 2 months before Golovkin is supposed to fight.
Even if he did fight Andrade then and won, there's only a 2 1/2 month window left to negotiate, sign and promote a huge September bout with Canelo.
That does not compute.
Even quickly putting together a Golovkin-Andrade bout for June, in no way seems realistic.

I don't see why not? Korobov VS Jermall Charlo was made in 5 days (Both top notch Middleweights)

There's quite a difference between putting together a low-budget Charlo-Korobov fight on the fly, and negotiating bouts that involve Canelo and/or Golovkin.
Were you around for last year's ongoing negotiating saga between Canelo and Golovkin?
Took months to resolve. Full of vitriol and
acrimony. Nonstop arguing over percentages and millions.
It won't be much different the next time. Big names, and bigger egos demand a big stage and big big money.
Those are issues that aren't resolved in rapid order.
It might work overnight for Charlo and Korobov, but don't count on the true middleweight stars to come to any agreements in the snap of a finger.
