Eds Sangare's agent states in from of Dutch media that there is interest for his player from Liverpool, PSG and Bayern. Is that agent's games or is it possible?

{Ed002's Note - Ibrahim Sangare (DM/CM) is a player Toulouse wanted to keep but PSV persuaded him to move and then to sign a new long-term contract. Now there is interest again and the player wants to move to the Premier League. Newcastle may provide an option. Bayern Munich may offer a solution. PSG have signed the Paredes replacement already so will likely drop their interest. Being offered around and prior interest of Liverpool will likely return as they move away from Thuram.}

I would take Sangare all day long. Better option that Lavia imo.

Hi Ed002, you mentioned Liverpool have moved away from Thuram, may I ask if that’s prompted by the bid for MC? I checked your note on 12/ 8 and it was mentioned that Liverpool have met with third party reps and that was that.

Also, from the names you mentioned, personally what do you think would be the best option for the DM, taking into account all factors?

{Ed002's Note - No it was nothing to do with MC. I think Florentino Luis would be a very good option and Youssouf Fofana perhaps worthy of a look.}

Thanks for the quick response Ed. Luis seems to be a very impressive option. Let’s hope the situation resolves itself sooner rather than later.

Ed you’ve advised us Luis costings do you see him as financially viable for us then?

{Ed002's Note - I have explained everything.}

Florentino Luis was my personal choice from the beginning. Kind of discounted him due to price being close to release clause, which was unimaginable a few days ago. who knows.

Ed, who of those three Fofana/ Luis/ Sangare do you see as the favorite as next target atm?

Sangare brother also spoke about interest from Liverpool, I asked you about him teo weeks ago after a publication in Dutch sites stating that Liverpool is ready to meet his RC. Is he the most possible next target?

{Ed002's Note - I am not interested in trying to guess.}

I’m keenly anticipating for next weeks transfer comedy, “After bolstering their midfield with the additions of Lavia and Caicedo, Chelsea now prepared to outbid Liverpool and meet €120m release clause for Benficas Florentino Luis to complete exciting midfield revamp”. (Just a joke. Unless it happens, of course. )

Based on 2 min youtube highlights -

Sagnare seems ideal replacement for Fabinho.

Same ungainly run with bigger turning radius than Fabinho.

It is never good to slate anyone but just initial impressions.
