Hi Ed!
Thanks for the big update of players we hold an interest in a couple of weeks ago! What I'm asking is, if you have time could you list the players we have that are of interest to other teams in the same format as the other update?
Only if you have time Ed!
{Ed002's Note - Manquillo - the club may decide to pay up to return him to Spain, but I suspect he will stay.
Gerrard to Los Angeles.
I would very much expect Liverpool to sell Coates and Sunderland may be a viable option.
Brad Jones will be moved on - his contract may well end up being cancelled and him paid off.
Glen Johnson will look at available options and move on this summer.
Lazio are showing an interest in Borini.
Sevilla would like to keep Aspas in Spain and will invoke the option to buy in his loan agreement. With them losing Gameiro this summer Aspas will get more playing time. Else they will look to sell him on for a small profit.
Alberto let himself and the club down last year and I am pretty sure he will leave this summer - there seems to be little interest in him.
Real Sociedad are keen to take Ilori on a permanent deal with Sunderland, Celtic and Hull also declaring an interest. Price needs to come down.
Sterling - the manager says he stays but I expect him to go. Manchester City are interested.
Liverpool will look to sell Balotelli in the summer but they need to reduce the price they are asking by some way. A number of clubs were approached in January but none were interested in a permanent deal at the price being asked. I suspect his representatives will focus on a return to Italy although have said how happy he is at Liverpool. Last year a sponsor tried to place him with another side once Milan were pissed at him and wanted him out - but that would no longer be an option. An alternative may be a Turkish side. Fiorentina and Inter are both open to discussing a deal for Balotelli and Sampdoria would be interested in taking him on loan, or perhaps to buy at the right price. We'll see what happens.
Two clubs were at the recent game at Stamford Bridge looking at Coutinho - but it has ended there as far as I know.}

Eds can I ask who bn watching coutino?
{Ed002's Note - Bayern Munich and Porto.}

Why are the club trying to sell llori as he only just arrived ?
{Ed002's Note - He arrived two years ago.}

Brad Jones and Glen Johnson have confirmed that they will be leaving this summer.
Emre Can, Lazar Markovic, Raheem Sterling, Jordon Ibe and Jordan Henderson have been played in a role that more suits Manquilio this season. I think it is fair to say that he is not needed at LFC by Rodgers and he will be allowed to leave.
{Ed002's Note - Not so much allowed to leave, Liverpool will pay for him to leave. But I suspect he will stay.}

Ed002 I imagine the money were after for Balotelli is much less than we paid last summer?
{Ed002's Note - You have a vivid imagination.}

I think in all probability the club have probably put a price on him to try and recoup most - if not all, the money they paid for him. Barking at the moon. At this current moment in time a reckon he's only worth 2-4M at best and to off load him we're going to have to take it on the chin and drop to that sort of price.
