Ed002 are we still interested in diogo costa and Rafael leao for the summer? Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Rafael Leao (LW) Right footed left winger Leao signed a new contract last summer after serious interest was shown earlier in the year by Bayern Munich and Manchester City. Manchester City's interest remains. The interest of Chelsea went with the signing of Mykhaylo Mudryk and even though they are still looking for another similar player they have a far preferred option. I cannot see the player moving to Newcastle who enquired in the summer but PSG have sent scouts and he is be an option to replace Mbappe, but not top of the list. Barcelona have him on a lengthy list of wide options for the summer but need to sell. He could also be an option for Real Madrid as they clear the decks - but they would look to including a player in a deal which will cost at least €120M and it would mean Mbappe moving elsewhere - and that is not going to happen. I am not aware of Liverpool making any approach and they have four right footed players who can play on the left side of attack - and they need a left footed right sided forward. As such it would make little sense and costs a great deal of money.
Diogo Costa (G) Manchester United need to make a decision over their goalkeepers moving forward, and Costa is a player they have been looking at, but so have others. Spurs interest has gone, Chelsea have preferrred options and Roma need to replace the aging Rui Patrício. Porto will resist a sale unless and offer of €80M plus arrives.}

Very interesting Ed, thanks. Would the preferred option be Olise, or would you prefer not to say at this time?
{Ed002's Note - Olise is not a LW nor GK.}

Fair enough, thanks Ed.

Ed002 would the preffered option be kvaratskhelia? Is Napoli who maybe wanted Mudryk in any potential deal? And I'm guessing the gk is maignan? Thanks a lot for detailed answers.
{Ed002's Note - I am not interested in providing such information to the Chelsea page as it just ends in abuse.}

The one we should be after is Neto at Wolves. Im sure everyone is sniffing around him.

Thank you for the info that you’ve shared ed. Means a lot to some (probably most) of us. It’s a much more dull environment when you’re not around!
