Hope you're well!

With Fabio Carvalho deal done, promising young player, Liverpool now needing RB cover for TAA seems like according to reports we have strong interest in Calvin Ramsay, good prospect coming out of Aberdeen. I'm optimistic this deal might get done.

Can you please provide player names that if we've recently had any interest with for positions mid/ forward.
As we expect Origi, Ox and perhaps Taki and Milner, even maybe Nabi to be moved on.
If you can please perhaps mention against the names possible or unlikely that the deal can get over the line that would be great.

Much appreciated
Tommy T.

{Ed002's Note - I am not sure that Liverpool will look to adding any more first choice forwards unless there is a major departure. Otavio, Vitinha, Bissouma, Merino, Tchouameni, Wirst, Tielemans and Laimer have all been watched by the club.}

Milly is going nowhere.

Thanks Ed appreciate it.

What about Fabio Viera from Porto?

{Ed002's Note - Fabio Vieira (AM) Porto want to keep the youngster and have no intention of selling. Previously Arsenal, Bournemouth and RBL have had approaches turned away. Has been watched by Spurs, Wolves and Liverpool.}

Do you mean Florian Wirtz, Ed?

{Ed002's Note - Yes, but I think it very, very doubtful. Certainly not this summer.}

Wirst also suffered a pretty bad ACL injury, so I can't see a club taking a chance on him in summer, he'll be out for a long time.

Ed I read a report in The Mirror that claimed we have a first-refusal agreement with Porto for Fabio Viera for €12m which was negotiated as part of the Luis Diaz deal. It seems rubbish to me, I'm guessing you will confirm that it is?

{Ed002's Note - I don't know how that would work as his contract will have needed to change. It then iopens up a potential breach of the rules with having third party influence.}

Cheers Ed. It sounded like something unprecedented to me unless it was something similar to the option Chelsea had on Lazar Markovic at Benfica but I think they were involved with him when he was at Partizan Belgrade.

{Ed002's Note - it is nothing like that.}
