Hi again,
What I'm hearing is Liverpool are still pushing for Xavier Parker, and a lot is expected to happen at the academy over the next two weeks.
Rumours say Liverpool are front runners for Ty Livesey alongside both Manchester clubs. I'm hearing otherwise, as he'll likely end up going to one of the Manchester clubs.
Have a good day!

Chema Andres (21 just) of Stuttgart = next Spanish Rodri 2.0.
Very strong LFC/Bournemouth interest!

007, doesn't he have a Madrid buy-back clause?
27 Jun 2026 14:37:00
007, the player himself has said he'd be delighted to one day head back to Madrid. Real have a buyback of EUR13.5m this summer, EUR18m in 2027 and EUR20m in 2028. They also have a 50% sell on fee.

Munoz also had a similar buy-back clause, as does Nico Paz. Madrid could buy Chema Andres back to sell for profit, or they could buy him back to actually use (with Jose there, maybe doubtful).
Or they just ignore the situation and Liverpool or another team buy him, and then their clause is removed.
His profile is needed more than some of the other midfield names mentioned.

If Chema gets signed by LFC and develops, Madrid will call and he will be on his knees to return to Madrid. We shouldn't sign Madrid coded players.

Have to agree with Icelolly here. ?
27 Jun 2026 18:20:39
So we shouldn't sign players in case they turn good? ?

Potassium, Madrid have been raiding us for players on the cheap for years. Why would we buy Andres, for him Todo really well, then run down his contract Togo to Madrid?
27 Jun 2026 18:53:55
Didn't know he was from Togo.
27 Jun 2026 19:22:39
Wait, is he from Todo or Togo?
27 Jun 2026 22:05:08
Perhaps we could buy him and hope he fails - would give us something to talk about.

Probably rules out going for most of the top young Spanish players if we don't want lads who came through at La Masia or Madrid. Personally, I say grab them and worry about what will happen in a few years.. in a few years.
