Ed002, what is the current situation at Barcelona with regards to Frenkie De Jong?

Lots of rumours he could be sold, several suggesting he is one of the few Barcelona want keep and consider not for sale.

Obviously Barcelona need to rebuild, and are in a tricky financial position meaning they will likely have to raise funds to buy players.

Obviously as a United fan I'm interested in the links between De Jong and United. Although personally I'd have thought Ralf Rangnick would want to work with the players he has before drawing up any potential options for improvements.

{Ed002's Note - Frenkie de Jong (CM) Tolisso upgrade for Bayern Munich but Barcelona don't want to sell - although if a significant offer were made their financial situation would mean they would have to consider it. Bayern however may have other ideas. Manchester City may provide a solution but he is not first choice. Discussions about other players from both sides with Chelsea have not seen De Jong mentioned which means Barcelona will not be looking to an early sale and others will leave first. Manchester United has other midfield targets and it is difficult to see how the player could be persuaded to join even if there were interest.}

Hi Ed002, it seems there is a lot of interest in Pau Torres, could you enlighten us on his current situation and who is interested in him.

Cheers.

Shappy

{Ed002's Note - Pau Torres (CB) Villareal are struggling financially and will sell this summer at the right price. Manchester City have him as an option still but he is not first choice. Manchester United have him as first choice but only if sufficient sales are made. Barcelona has a sustained interest but price will likely be an issue and they may look to horse trade some players - but priorities will be elsewhere. Bayern Munich have him as one of three primary targets to fill the two (or potentially three) CB slots they need to address in the summer. Real Madrid want Torres to replace Ramos but do not want to get in to an auction.}

{Ed's Note - we have posted a new article entitled, Players that would complete Manchester United's team

What's the deal with Andre Gomes? Is he likely to move this summer and if so who seems most likely to make a push for him?

Search Gomes shappy and a good bit of info will crop up.

I thought he was going to be our midfield purchase (and he still might be) but it appears Chelsea are pressing ahead for a deal.

Ed002, I was wondering if there is any interest in Ismael Bennacer of AC Milan. Thanks.

Shappy

{Ed002's Note - He is not availavle as they work a new contract.)

Ed002, I see that Matic has been linked with joining his old pal Jose at AS Roma. Any truth in this or just the same old typical rags linking a player with a former manager. Cheers.

Shappy

{Ed002's Note - Nemanja Matic (DM) Jose Mourinho would like to take him to Rome with him but he will not be first choice - although the first choice is not looking to be attainable - and there may be some reliance on the sale of Amadou Diawara and Manchester United, who gave him a new contract, being willing to sell him at a reasonable price. If he leaves Manchester United would look to replace him as they don't plan for the careers of players like James Garner.}

Ed002, It appears a LB might be on the cards at United with Sergio Reguilon, Vitaliy Mykolenko and Alex Telles linked with United and rumours today of Nicolas Tagliafico.

Is there any interest in Atalanta's Robin Gosens? If not from United are there any other clubs looking at him. Personally he is a player I think should be considered by some of the top clubs as a great well rounded LB.
Cheers.

Shappy

{Ed002's Note - Robin Gosens (LB) Fiorentina enquired about availability but he is not first choice for them. Borussia Mönchengladbach have been looking at him with Oscar Wendt's career coming to an end. Lyon had an offer rejected in January but may look to him if they lose Bard. Leicester are keen but he is not first choice. Lyon are interest ed only if they lose Bard. Gosens is way down the list for Inter. RBL are looking for talks.}

I absolutely love Gosens mate. He always impresses a lot whenever I watch Atalanta. He stands out even in their system when the system is meant to function as a unit not individual strength.

Ed002, are there any plans for Viktor Tsygankov of Dinimo Kiev to move to one of the bigger leagues in Europe this summer? He's a cracking player and in my opinion could be a great and cheaper alternative for sides looking at players such as Jadon Sancho, Ferran Torres and Federico Chiesa. Cheers.

Shappy

{Ed002's Note - Viktor Tsygankov (RW) Napoli want Tsygankov over Under but have struggled to agree terms over the Dynamo Kiev player. Prior interest of Spurs has gone.}


1.) 08 Jul 2020 21:28:47
Great, thanks. How do you rate him as a player? He's torn up the Ukrainian league, but how that translates to one of the "big" five European leagues remains to be seen.

{Ed002's Note - I rate him as a 14.}

Ed002 I've been very impressed with Marsh Kumbulla at Verona this season, is there any interest in him?

Shappy

{Ed002's Note - Marash Kumbulla (CB) approaches have been made to Verona by Lazio and Inter. Bayern Munich have watched him on several occasions. Premier League clubs have been looking at him but there is no plan for the player to leave Italy at this point in time according to his representative. Inter have put together a package that includes other players. Lazio are in a better position to get something completed.}

Fantastic thanks.

Ed002, with PSG craving another high end Frenchman would they hold any interest in Pogba?

Shappy

{Ed002's Note - No they are not looking to Pogba.}

Ed002, could we please have a few names of players United are looking at for the left wing spot? cheers.

Shappy

{Ed002's Note - Gareth Bale (LW) - Will be offered to Manchester United but I think will be priced out of a move when his injuries are taken in to account
Jose Arnaiz (LW) - viable option
Marco Asensio (LW) - unlikely because Madrid want to keep him - which will be easier if Bale goes
Ivan Perisic (LW) - Manchester United could yet return
