Heard on sky that Saúl has been offered to Chelsea on loan. Any truth in this ED2? If so would surely be an ideal signing for us on a loan to buy given our finances currently?

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea have made a proposal to Atletico but it does not entirely satisfy their needs. Barcelona and Manchester United are both interested but Barcelona need to offer Griezmann and pay half his wages in exchange, or move on Coutinho to free up wages first. Manchester United have spoken with Atletico but it is unclear if they would be willing to satisfy the needs of Atletico - it will become clear soon.}

ed002 if Chelsea are looking at loan with option if reports are right would Liverpool Offer if made with money in instalments be a better option for Atletico if Liverpool could come to some sort of agreement over his wages.

{Ed002's Note - they want his wages off the books and a guaranteed sale.}

We should be pushing the boat out for Saul in my opinion.

what kind of fee are they looking for ed seen reports from anywhere from £30m to £60m.

{Ed002's Note - I don't know what the proposal is.}

I really like Saul as a player but I pause at the fact he's plays for Simeone for so long, he doesn't rotate players much, runs them to the ground, those legs are bound to be gone half way into his next big contract.
