Hi Ed002, any chance of one of your summary posts of Liverpool's interest in incomings for the future.
I know you've been giving us lots of details on different players lately however your summaries are always a great read and there's always one or two that haven't been discussed largely.
Regards,
Your biggest fan,
Dave.
{Ed002's Note - I am not going to try and do too much yet but a couple who don't get a mention and are worth thinking about are:
Calvin Ramsay (RB/RM) has attracted Premier League and Serie A scouts to Aberdeen with declared interest from Bologna, Sassuolo, Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester United.
Mikel Merino (CM) Real Sociedad will not be looking to sell Merino but if an offer of more than €40M were to be made then they would I am sure consider it. Struggled a little in Germany and used as a DM at Newcastle. Real Sociedad say that Merino has been watched by Borussia Dortmund, Liverpool and again Newcastle this season. The player has made his desire to play for Real Madid clear.
Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty (RW) Toronto FC's 17-year-old player has been watched by a number of European clubs including Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal, Bayer Leverkusen and Manchester United. He has been in Europe have training sessions with Arsenal, Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen, and attempts are being made to arrange others. Cannot move to England before the summer but could move to Germany.}

Any latest around dybala eds? He signed a new contract or anything.
{Ed002's Note - Paulo Dybala (F/AM) - selling was seen a way to raise the money to buy Verratti or Milinkovic-Savic last summer but he is out of contract at the end of the season and his demands for a new one are very significant - which delayed any agreement. Juventus will try once more but Dybala will be available as a Free Agent in the summer if a new contract is not agreed and as such, clubs outside of Italy can talk with him already. Liverpool may make a proposal although there may be lingering concerns over injuries and both the wage and signing on costs are significant. For me, a very good player but getting older and very expensive and I would have thought Liverpool may look toward the future although at 28, Dybala would make a very good replacement for Firmino. Manchester City may also offer an option and Manchester United perhaps a wildcard option although interest has waned. Atletico could look to him as a Joao Felix replacement if they were to lose him. Spurs with Paratici and Conte offer a very viable option but I would think that there will be better options available. Arsenal made an enquiry with his agent but were rebuffed. Those representing the player have spoken to many leading clubs in Europe but it seems prior interest of PSG has waned. Inter are the only Italian side who might be interested and Italian tax laws make them an attractive option. The player wants to move to Real Madrid or PSG, but that seems unlikely.}

Hi Ed. thank you for always sharing your thoughts and updates about liverpool transfer rumour. Is there any news on Carlos Soler (Valencia)? Is he also one of player that we interested? Thanks Ed.
{Ed002's Note - Carlos Soler (CM) Financial issues at Valencia mean that they will listen to offers for players but want to hold on to Gaya whilst they have told interested sides that neither Carlos Soler or Maxi Gomez would be sold cheaply. However, Soler has so far not signed a new contract and is being encouraged to run down his contract next season and then seek a significant signing on fee when he is a Free agent. Barcelona has a sustained interest but have already agreed the signing of one Free Agent midfield player for this summer and they want to hold on to their youngsters. If they were to sell de Jong to raise funds, then Soler will become a target for this summer. Interest of Manchester United and Juventus has moved on to other targets. A wildcard option might be Spurs but it would likely depend on Champions League qualification and the coach at the time. I am not aware of any approach by Liverpool.}

Thanks for the reply Ed. personally think dybala could be a very good signing for us. injuries are a little bit concerning but those South Americans graft. Any younger Brazilian forwards looking good?
