Hi Ed002 - is there any interest in Tuchel after he leaves Bayern?
{Ed002's Note - Thomas Tuchel (C) Nothing serious right now. On the list of options for Barcelona. Manchester United may provide an option as he knows Jim Ratcliffe well. Wildcard maybe a return to Chelsea but it may not be attractive to TT.

Ed002 who is interested in de ligt
{Ed002's Note - Matthijs de Ligt (CB) Player has been happier with Tuchel as coach and will likely stay where he is when a new coach arrives in the summer, as long as he gets the playing time he desires. In the unlikely event that ten Hag is still at Manchester United he may well be interested but he would not be top of the list at all. Bayern have no interest in selling although they are persisting in chasing another CB themselves.}

Ed002 who is interested in gk bento
{Ed002's Note - Bento (G) Athletico Paranaense are negotiating a summer transfer with Inter Milan who need to replace Summer and want an alternative to on loan Emil Audero who they regret taking. The player is keen on a deal with Inter. Chelsea took a shine to the player when working on the transfer of Vitor Roque but they have a much preferred options.}

Ed002 who is interested in xavi simons
{Ed002's Note - Xavi Simons (CM/AM) PSG will talk to the player and assure him of game time and tell him he is not for sale. Barcelona would like him back but would need to persuade PSG to take players in exchange. Manchester City see him as another potential de Bruyne replacemnt.}
26 Mar 2024 16:53:48
And also his Teammate Olmo?
{Ed002's Note - Dani Olmo (AM/W) Signed a new contract last year but could still be sold this summer if a significant offer were made. Atletico, Manchester City and Barcelona are interested, although Barcelona have preferred options. Chelsea considered him as a Mason Mount replacement but have preferred options. Bayern Munich interest has gone.}

Ed002
I have tried searching but I cannot find anything, is it possible to tell us who PSG are looking at as an Mbappe replacement?
{Ed002's Note - Rafael Leao is first choice.}
14 Mar 2024 14:33:05
Thank you
13 Mar 2024 11:28:53
Ed002 who is interested in Bradley locko thanks
{Ed002's Note - Bradley Locko (LWB) Has been scouted by Liverpool, Chelsea and Bournemouth who fear losing Kerkez quickly - but any English club looking to buy him would have to sign him as an exception or pay over the odds to secure a Work Permit. One to keep an eye on for the future.}

Ed002 who is interested in kvaratshkelia, musiala and dorgu thanks
{Ed002's Note - Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (LW) In late 2021 Torino, Borussia Dortmund and Lokomotiv Moscow were speaking with Rubin Kazan who said they were not willing to sell at that time. Previously the player had been watched by Bayern Munich and his agent had been hawking him around the Premier League clubs including Everton with, according to him, Leeds showing some interest. Ancelotti had been open to the idea of replacing Bolasie and Bernard with him but it was clear something was going on in the background. Remarkably he was sold to Georgian side Dinamo Batumi for a small amount of money but well beyond their means in March 2022. For 3 months Napoli and Juventus discussed a deal with his agent and on July 1, 2022 he moved to Napoli, giving a small profit to Dinamo Batumi. A move to Spain with Real Sociedad was ruled out. Paratici had originally identified him for Juventus and it is was surprise Spurs did not follow up that interest. Roma waited too long to be a viable option. The transfers are potentially going to be looked at by UEFA. Don't rule out Real Madrid, Manchester United, Arsenal or Manchester City looking at taking the player in a year or two and he has also attracted scouts from Liverpool and Juventus. Newcastle have a declared interest but a move seems unlikely. Chelsea have a solution in mind which may suit Napoli, but they are difficult to deal with. Napoli have no intention of selling and will offer a new contract - which I expect to be initially rejected. Barcelona offer a wildcard option but may have difficulty funding a move.
Jamal Musiala (AM/LW) Bayern Munich will have no interest in selling the player back to Chelsea but the player is delaying a new contract. Real Madrid has a declared interest. Manchester City have asked Bayern Munich for talks over the player as a de Bruyne replacement, but they will resist.
Patrick Dorgu (LB/LM) Only joined in 2022 but has attracted serious attention from Gent. Agent is a real jerk and repeatedly links the player to Barcelona, Manchester City, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Liverpool and Arsenal. Chelsea's interest depended largely on what was happening with Ian Maatsen but they already have young LB prospects and he is well down the list of LB options they have. The player would like a move to Chelsea but knows he would not be a starter immediately - and the same is true for the other interested high-profile sides. That leaves Gent, but they are not an attractive solution.}

Ed002 who is interested in milos kerkez and crysensio summerville thanks
{Ed002's Note - Milos Kerkez (LWB) Only joined in the summaer after picking Bournemouth over Lazio for game time. Lazio may still have an interest. A long way down the list for Chelsea.
Summerville was of interest to Burnley but they opted for Nathan Redmond.}

Hi Ed. I hope you'll indulge in a Jose Mourinho question please. Where's the next stop for him do you think?
{Ed002's Note - Al Shabab or Barcelona.}
01 Feb 2024 13:04:10
Thanks Ed. Two very contrasting options!
06 Feb 2024 20:28:27
Chelsea now hopefully with what’s happening
{Ed002's Note - Nothing is happening at the moment.}
06 Feb 2024 20:28:27
Chelsea now hopefully with what’s happening
{Ed002's Note - Nothing is happening at the moment.}
06 Feb 2024 21:34:33
Let’s wait for result tomorrow big big game for him one thinks
Ed do you think Jose would come back if asked?
{Ed002's Note - He would be one option but you are getting ahead of yourself about tomorrow.}
07 Feb 2024 13:03:52
I guess he’s got a few more chances than if he losers tomorrow gone of the Roman days as he would have been down the road buy now, But still a very big game for the club
Thanks ed002
{Ed002's Note - I suspect you don't understand what happened under the previous ownership.}
07 Feb 2024 17:26:58
Not going to lie but No not really Ed002 I understand what you hear on the news but if you have time please enlighten me. If not thanks for the information you have provided and I do hope Jose is home soon
{Ed002's Note - I am really not interested in explaining anything to the Chelsea fans.}
31 Jan 2024 19:07:47
Ed002 who is interested in donyell malen? Thanks
{Ed002's Note - Donyell Malen (RW/LW) Seen as surplus by Borussia Dortmund who are looking to make changes to the squad. They quoted Newcastle €60M in the summer. The player has made it clear he would be open to a move back to Arsenal. Team Mino have also offered him to Spurs, Liverpool and Manchester United - and will continue to look for a buyer. Will not now move in January unless the asking price is met.}
23 Jan 2024 14:07:42
Ed002 reports that benzema has told his club he wants to go on loan to a European club. Do you see it happening and which club will/can get him? Thanks
{Ed002's Note - His agent has been offering him around.}
24 Jan 2024 11:26:25
Any interest clubs Ed? or will his wages be an issue for most?
{Ed002's Note - There is interest if the wages can be addressed but there is a significant separate issue as well.}
22 Jan 2024 21:38:54
Hi Ed! Not sure where to put this so hope here's ok? There have been rumblings of players not happy having gone to Saudi, with Henderson already leaving and players like Benzema wanting out.
The question I have is, have things been over exaggerated and the players are fine? Or, if things aren't going as expected, why is that? Obviously it's a very different lifestyle so is it just an underestimation how much so from the players?
Would appreciate the insight!
{Ed002's Note - Well sometimes players or their families fail to settle and the life in the Middle East is very different. English players are notorious for not travelling well, hence a lesser number move to the continent.}
23 Jan 2024 16:13:39
Cheers Ed can definitely see how players would struggle to settle the lifestyle is so different! Do you see it being an issue attracting players in the future?
{Ed002's Note - Part of the brief of Emanalo is to ensure it is sustainable and he is goining in the right direction with his plans at the moment.}
22 Jan 2024 14:30:36
Ed002 who is interested in sesko
{Ed002's Note - Benjamin Sesko (S/F) RBL could be offered a quick profit. His agent has not stopped offering the player around since his move to RBL. Described by a well known ex-Premier League player and high-end scout as "raw but improving". Was on the list for Spurs as a potential Kane replacement and Newcastle enquired. Chelsea spoke with his agent but have preferred options. Milan offer an option as a potential Giroud replacement. A wildcard may be either Manchester United or Arsenal. Will probably not be available in January with Werner departing unless a replacement is added.}
