Ed01 and 02, we know that regardless of paper talk etc Mbappé will not come to Liverpool, just wondering if the likes of Haaland would (a) be interested in a move to us and (b) would be financially possible for us. Obviously it would mean one of the front 3 would be moving on but given their similar age profiles you wouldn't think that would be too far off now anyway.
{Ed002's Note - Erling Haaland's representative has been speaking to two other sides about options for the player in the future and I am not aware of any discussions with Liverpool over the player. The cost of EH this summer will be very significant and Borussia Dortmund are not looking to sell, but they know they will likely see interest and indeed offer but are far more open to Sancho being sold.}

Ed do you see EH signing a new contract removing the 2022 release clause? because 65m does seem awfully cheap for such an amazing talent. If not, could we afford the cost of signing him?
{Ed002's Note - That would not be in his interest. Liverpool have financial issues as you know and are not part of this at all. His agent, who will make very significant charges as well, has discussed options with two other clubs already. Liverpool's priorities are elsewhere.}

Ed2, respect if you don’t wish to go into it but are any of those English sides?
{Ed002's Note - Yes, one is. But it is unrelated to Liverpool.}

Chelsea are the english side interested i believe.
{Ed002's Note - They are not the only interested English side.}

Thanks Ed2. I tell you what whoever signs the kid has one hell of a player on their hands.

Thanks ED02. Hopefully they’ll resist selling Haaland this Summer and come 2022 we’ll be a position to bid. He’s an incredible talent. You’d have to think that the English Club is Man City and he’d be their replacement for Aguero.
No doubt our priorities are at centre back and signing a starter with I assume some younger legs for midfield if as expected Gini finishes up. Jota and Elliott will be the forward additions for next season up top I guess unless one of the front 3 looks to move on.
Thanks again ED02, hope you and yours are all keeping heathy.

Ed, not trying to be smart but surely nearly EVERY bigeuropean team has financial issues at the moment with the C.V..
{Ed002's Note - Every side will have suffered losses but some can deal with it far better than others depending on how responsibly they run their businesses and if they are self sufficient or not. In FRance the situation is far worse than in the UK or other countries.}

I for one don’t want Erling Haaland his a game good player that’s seems to be in the right place at the right time but everybody seems to be going on about him like his Marco van basten. And scoring goals for Dortmund and RB Salzburg does not do it and every time I have seen him he has not stood out as anything special.
