Reports saying we have apparently bid around £4m for Matip and also made enquiries about Leroy Sane, can any of the Ed's confirm this or is it just b. s.

{Ed002's Note - Schalke rejected bids from Spurs and Stoke for Leroy Sane in the summer. A number of clubs from across Europe have had the player watched in the first and reserve sides towards the end of last season and at the start of this - including Manchester United, Barcelona, Sunderland, Manchester City, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Liverpool, Bayer Leverkusen, West Ham and RBL. Do not discount a bid from Manchester City in January, and whilst they are loathe to meet the asking price, they are willing, and likely, to make a very significant offer as they know a bid from Barcelona is imminent and that will be immediately followed by a bid from Real Madrid.}

Many thanks Ed, I'm curious what the asking price may be with so many clubs having watched him but no deal struck. It must be extortionate. Does he have just over a year to rub on his current deal?

{Ed002's Note - Real Madrid were quoted €55M.}
