Hello Ed's,
Are we still interested in sead kolasinac?
A Jan window consisting of us buying A LB and an attacker would be nice.
Also are we one of the clubs keeping tabs of kylian Mbappe?

{Ed002's Note - Previously of interest to Manchester United and Spurs, Roma, West Brom and Manchester City enquired after Schalke's Sead Kolasinac in the summer but the enquiries went nowhere. Wolfsburg, Chelsea and Liverpool also had watched toward the end of last season. West Ham and RBL have had him watched this season. Wolfsburg remain unclear on the future of Ricardo Rodriguez still and may turn again to the player if Schalke cannot agree and extension.

Real Madrid have spoken with Monaco regarding Kylian Mbappé about an agreement to possibly recruit him in once their ban is over. A number of clubs have been watching him including Barcelona, Porto, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Bayer Leverkusen, Rennes, Marseille and PSG, but next year might be a better time for a move. Arsenal are talking to Monaco about options for another player on their youngsters list and Porto might yet push but one would expect both sides to struggle to fund a move, whether they have the money or not. Manchester City were rebuffed in August with a significant offer. The sort of figures that one side were quoted would remove most clubs who have looked at him from bidding - including Marseille, Porto, Liverpool, Renne, Bayer Leverkusen and, I suspect, Arsenal.}

Thanks a lot for the reply Ed. I was actually hoping these two would be more in our affordable bracket especially given their contracts. Anyway there must be plenty others we can look at just as good 😆.

{Ed002's Note - Kolasinac will be out of contract in the summer.}

Yup Ed that's why I felt he was more in the context what we would look at as value for money.
With Mbappe too there were rumours he wants out of Monaco and has just 2 yrs remaining on his contract so thought he would be available near the 20-25M mark at a stretch.
Anyway just want us to get a good LB and a quality attacker in the Jan window if possible. With Sakho Illori and markovic leaving to ressurect their careers in some other good teams hopefully.

{Ed002's Note - I think you have been misled rather. Mbappe signed the longet contract he could for a 17 year old and it runs until 2019. Liverpool are not in a position to pay the asking price for him - and the asking price was there to deter Real Madrid.}
