Ed do we have interest in Pulusic and what do you see happening with him in the summer please in terms of signing a new deal with Dortmund? Also in terms of interested clubs is it Chelsea leading the way?

{Ed002's Note - Selling Christian Pulisic would not be a popular move amongst Borussia Dortmund fans and one the club will resist. There is nothing to say that BD has "put him on the market" nor "put a price on him" (certainly not in GBP) for a January move. However, it is fair to say that a transfer is one actually planned for the summer of 2019 by Bayern Munich. However, Dortmund do not want to sell and want a new contract agreed - right now that is not the case but they would try and resist a sale to Munich. If Dortmund were to decide to sell before summer I have no doubts that Bayern would change their plans and try and make a transfer happen - playing on the back of their being a German side and their relative success in Europe - and that might attract the player. Borussia Dortmund would in such a situation be more willing to sell to the English sides who enquired after him last summer. Manchester United are one of the sides but they wanted more versatility, figured Pulisic would not be available and headed off, unsuccessfully, in another direction. Spurs were holding back but were seemingly keener on others after perhaps thinking he would not be available regardless having sustained interest. That would leave Chelsea who are open to considering Pulisic, but if the player were to say he wants Bayern Munich they would not want to buy him. PSG and Arsenal have looked at Pulisic and declared an interest to the level of wishing to be kept informed. There has been no approach or offer from Liverpool, who would likely have to move Salah or Mane on or change formation to accommodate him and give him any game time if they were interested. Dortmund do have options in mind to replace him if he were to leave.}

If there's one player I'd love to see join Liverpool it'd be pulisic. Unfortunately we aren't going to see that happen. Thanks for the info Ed2, I hope you are well?

{Ed002's Note - That is the situation right now. If circumstances change and Salah or Mane moves on then there is space in the side. But you won’t find many of the supposedly “elite” players will join clubs to sit on the bench much of the time, unless that is perhaps Real Madrid or Barcelona. It is not simply depth of squad unless a side is regularly winning at the highest level.}
