Question for the Ed's but particularly Ed02 if it's ok.
Have Liverpool shown any interest in Bastoni (has a 24mil release clause apparently, and not signing a new deal)? An established left footed CB at a good age seems to fit our needs well. Any suggestion of interest from us?
Also Kimmich. Endo has been solid but is not the same level. Press rumours he is refusing to sign a new deal with Bayern also. Have Liverpool looked at him seriously?
And many thanks for I all EDs for your hard work here.
{Ed002's Note - I am afraid you have been misinformed. Alessandro Bastoni (CB) New contract and staying. Interest from Chelsea has now moved on. A wildcard may be an offer from Manchester City or Manchester United but the player will look to stay. Liverpool has shown no interest and there is no cheap "release clause.
Joshua Kimmich (DM/RB) Bayern Munich may now make him available, a significant fee would be sought - well beyond what interested sides Barcelona or Manchester City would pay for a 28 year old on €400k per week although Manchester City may well look to find a solution that suits everybody. A wildcard option would be Manchester United or Arsenal. New coach will have a say at Bayern Munich. Liverpool have shown no interest.}

Kimmich is way too old and at £400’000 a week it’s a straight no. Plus the last 29 year old centre midfielder we got out of Munich was a busted flush.

Bastoni just like Barella, is not interested in leaving Inter at all.
