Hi Ed/Carra/Robbo or anyone else who may know. Few social media links suggesting Chema Andres could be of interest for midfield. Having watched a few Stuttgart games back end of the season when the Hoeness rumours were circling both him and Stiller looked really good in the middle, maybe Chema fitting what we need in that Rodri/Busquets type mould of winning the ball and moving it on that has been missing since Fabinho left.
Anyone know if he is of interest as it does look like Bouaddi could end up elsewhere then fees attached to Wharton and Scott seem excessive.

Didn't Robbo say a fee was greed for 86million? Yet no fee has been agreed.
{Ed001's Note - how do you know that no fee has been agreed? Let's be honest, you know f all, so why come on and criticise others?}

Chema is someone Iraola wanted at Bournemouth. No idea if he's being looked at by Liverpool.
I'd assume it's a recycled story.
Ta.

Highly rated Spanish no6. More of an anchor than a destroyer. Similar physical attributes and style of play to Rodri. He plays alongside Angelo Stiller.
Real Madrid have an option to buy him back, apparently.

Cheers, Carra, mate.

Chema Andres looks a big physical unit who'd dominate midfield. Speaks fluent English too so settling in should be fine as well.

Flo Worzt, Robbo said he was told a fee was agreed for around £90m. That doesn't mean all parameters of the deal have been agreed upon. There are many factors which can delay negotiations, like this little tournament they have going on at the moment.
Maybe Leipzig are looking for a sell-on clause, or still trying to have the player loaned back for a year. Nothing will be announced until everything's finalised. Unlike you, Robbo has a track record of producing quality information. You, on the other hand...

Well said ed

So glad to have seen this post and see Ed give you a good talking to Flo and then props to you Chewy as well, spot on with what you said, I understand this a rumours site and an open forum but my goodness some live to complain and contradict ones with a track record of getting things right, i'd rather live in hope than assume the negative things I see are truthful.
Once again ty Eds for what you do and Carra, Robbo, Fields, VictorG & Ned!

Carra, much appreciated for the update, hopefully ends up like another Munoz situation if Iraola is getting a bit of a say in dealings!
25 Jun 2026 14:06:44
Thanks, Carra. I saw Chema play vs Bayern in the Pokal final, and cos I didn't know who he was, I wasn't paying attention.
Hopefully, if we can get him, that would be nice esp. if Iraola wanted him at B'mouth and still wants him.

Ed001, to correct you, I'm the one that knows
F all on here, mines actually a Sweet FA also, so don't be giving my accolade away please! ?
Criticism is a no go though.
{Ed001's Note - apologies HH, but it seems you are not alone!}

Flo Wirtz
You also said Slot would remain at Liverpool.
25 Jun 2026 20:18:47
I'll readily admit that I know f all and darn proud of it.
26 Jun 2026 08:25:46
Nice to see there are still some IKFAs about.

If you claim to know nothing, and know nothing, then you know at least one thing, so you can't know nothing.
