{Ed002's Note - That would be stalking.

PSV's Memphis Depay has attracted interest from a number of clubs with Manchester City, Real Madrid, Newcastle, Spurs, Marseille and Manchester United looking to see of a deal can be struck this past summer. Marseille signed Batshuayi and dropped their interest in Depay, and I suspect both Manchester City and Real Madrid have dropped their interest. Manchester United, Newcastle and Spurs are known to still keeping an eye on the player with Everton and Liverpool also both having had the player watched recently. Someone very knowledgable about football in the Netherlands has suggested that a move to Newcastle would suit him better than the likes of Real Madrid or the Manchester sides as he would need a couple of years to establish himself in the first team and sitting on the bench will not help him at all. He has also advised the player against a move to Spurs, and his views are well enough thought of to likely remove them from being an option for the player himself. No offers have been made to PSV at this time but it is know that a figure between €25M and €30M would be enough for them not to block a move. The expectation remains that a move to Manchester United is most likely.}

Ed002 I think I met the person who knew about Dutch football, on the DFDS ferry a few years back. He told me he looked at talent from the Dutch lges and had links to Newcastle. I didn't ask him name but he seemed very genuine while we had a combo.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - There is no link with Newcastle Baz and I can't imagine he has ever been on a ferry.}

Ed01, don't suppose you have any info on what Garbutt is likely doing this summer? Don't know if he signed a new deal or not,
Cheers mate.

{Ed001's Note - he has an offer on the table from Everton, he knows there is interest from Liverpool and Spurs, probably others too. I know West Ham were keen on him before they signed Cresswell and Southampton enquired before signing Bertrand, I would think both would take him if they could.

As for what he is likely to do, I have no idea, it is a personal choice he has to make, which is impossible to be sure. You can speak to them one day and they are all hyped about one club, then a week later they have had a better offer and change their mind.}

Hi eds, are Liverpool interested in any of Pedro (Sterling replacement), Kondogbia or Martin Montoya?? Thanks.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Last summer Barcelona would have listened to significant offers for Pedro but nobody would bite. Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United are known to have enquired with his agent earlier in 2014. PSG spoke with Barcelona about the player in the summer of 2013 and in January 2014. This summer he will likely move but Barcelona would need to reduce their euro 30M asking price. Arsenal's interest remains. If Salah were to leave this summer, which is likely, it is possible Chelsea could be interested if Barcelona continue their interest in Douglas Costa joining in January 2016. Expect an unsolicited approach to Manchester United to see if they are interested as well. It is difficult to see a move to Liverpool without Champions League football.

I am not aware of interest from Liverpool in Kondogbia. He has had varying fortunes since moving to Monaco and whilst they were willing to let him move on both in the summer and, if the price was right in January, the only interested clubs have immediately back down for financial reasons. Monaco has FFP problems which are a little worse than those of Liverpool. They will certainly be looking to sell players this summer. There were representatives of at least two English clubs at the game on Friday, but they were there watching a St Etienne player. Arsenal may well rekindle their interest in Kondogbia.}

Martin Montoya was looking to stay in Spain despite interest from Bayern Munich and Roma last summer. Liverpool have looked at him before and f Manquillo were to leave this summer then he might be a viable option.}
