Hi Eds, I know you have told us that Madrids priority is Mbappe this summer but with the financial situation as it is now and PSG not wanting to sell are we coming to a situation where they might switch fire to Mane. I'm sure we wouldn't want him to move on and he seems happy but I always worry when the 2 big Spanish clubs come calling. I may be worrying over nothing as Mane would also be very expensive and almost impossible to replace like for like.

{Ed002's Note - Madrid want to take Mbappe this summer but there is indeed resistance from PSG who don't want to sell. That situation may change is PSG can bring a player in that they desire. In terms of Sadio Mane, Real Madrid are still looking at a major revamp and are using Eden Hazard on the LW which was not their plan. They have plans to bring in a specific RW/S in mind and a couple of alternatives but are likely to hold on to Asensio who they would rather let move on once fully fit - which he may not have proven by the summer. They have a bunch of senior players they have available for horse trading, particularly James Rodriguez, Isco and Bale and will look to include them in any major deal. I am not aware of any direct approach to the club for Mane at this time and it sounds rather speculative that they would go down that route - but he will perhaps be in their thoughts as it is not working out terribly well for Vinicius Jr at this time either. Mane is also seen as a possible Neymar replacement by PSG and by Barcelona as an option to Neymar. But again - there has been no approach to Liverpool.}

That's put my mind at ease a bit, just read that the finances involved for neymar might make it impossible for Barcelona this summer as clubs can't afford to invest in the players they wish to let go. Perhaps it will be next summer before the high profile moves return.

Ed002 what is the likelihood of Keita moving on from Liverpool in the summer?
I have heard rumours Klopp was not impressed with his attitude, not sure how true that is.
For me he shows glimpses of what he can do, but way too inconsistent and very injury prone, hence his stop start career with us so far.
I would personally let him go if we were to replace him with a HG talent such as Grealish or Maddison, albeit Grealish can be a thoroughbred bellend at times!
Your thoughts?

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any plans to sell him and not aware of interest in him from elsewhere. His conviction may make obtaining a Work Permit difficult in some countries.}

Nobody in Germany interested Ed002. I thought his reputation at RBL and across the Bundesliga was good to be honest?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - No.}
