Good evening Ed, are arsenal interested in mbappe or will he be way out of our pay grade thanks Ed.

{Ed002's Note - Kylian Mbappe (S) Wants to move to Real Madrid but for them the financial outlay on the overall package could be too much this coming summer unless they can make significant space in the wage structure. They have made him an offer giving them time to reshape their squad if he agrees a move. There is an outside chance they will look to a deal in January and if they do they look to include a player or two in any deal. PSG would demand Rafa Marin and one of Rodrygo Goes or Vinicius Jr plus a lower fee. It would suit all parties and avoid an auction for obscene wages in the summer - but the player will likely not be open to that. A take it or leave it offer of €130 million signing-on fee, alongside wages of €80 million net per year has been offered by PSG to stay - although Mbappe's representatives are demanding a salary of €75M net a year - so after tax - and €150M signing on fee. Real Madrid will offer perhaps half the wages and will try and negotiate a signing on fee. Image rights will be traded to try and make this work. Al-Hilal had a huge €300M offer rejected and the player may see it as too early for such a move, but they could offer the huge wages being demanded. Newcastle would not realistically be in a position to buy him and any interest from them can be discounted whilst their owners plan to take him directly to Saudi. Realistically, Madrid, Middle East, Manchester United, Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Chelsea, if they could clear significant wages from the books, are the only viable options although Juventus have a significant tax advantage over the other clubs, but the costs are still huge and they can be discounted. Chelsea could look to striking a deal including a player PSG are interested in but it is likely they will not be offering the desired wages and bonuses – but they could look for a solution - although I think it unlikely. Bayern Munich have added Harry Kane and have other priorities for the summer. Manchester United could potentially move for Mbappe if the ownership issue is completed soon but for now they are concentrating on others and it is unlikely the majority owners would agree to such a financial commitment; and advice being provided to the player would be to ignore any interest from there. Manchester City have a priority to tie down Haaland and remove a clause in his contract that will allow him to leave in the summer at a fixed fee – and they know there is interest in the player – if he were to decide to leave, then Mbappe will become a consideration. I do not see Arsenal or Liverpool committing to such a huge signing on fee, huge cost of wages and bonuses to be able to sign Mbappe. PSG hope that the situation forces Mbappe to invoke a one year extension - and that seems most likely if he does not agree to Real Madrid.}

Incredible summary, thanks ed002.

Also an incredible snapshot of the excesses of modern football, incidentally.

13 Feb 2024 17:21:53
Ed002 is it it true we are looking at sesko?

{Ed002's Note - Benjamin Sesko (S/F) RBL could be offered a quick profit. His agent has not stopped offering the player around since his move to RBL. Described by a well known ex-Premier League player and high-end scout as "raw but improving". Was on the list for Spurs as a potential Kane replacement and Newcastle enquired. Chelsea spoke with his agent but have preferred options but shpu;d not be discounted. Milan offer an option as a potential Giroud replacement. A wildcard may be either Manchester United or Arsenal.May be available in the summer.}

Agree0 Disagree3

14 Feb 2024 20:58:25
Milan are going to regret selling Giroud in 5 years.

01 Feb 2024 09:20:11
Morning Edoo2, can we expect any incoming's today?

Thanks for all your information.

{Ed002's Note - Yes, many, many players.}

Agree0 Disagree4

01 Feb 2024 17:12:22
Haha.

27 Jan 2024 09:08:54
Morning Edoo2

Any news in transfers in or out?

Have a good weekend.

{Ed002's Note - Fabio Vieira (AM) Marseille and Monaco have discussed a loan with Arsenal.}

Agree0 Disagree1

28 Jan 2024 00:00:08
Has he fallen out of favour at arsenal. Ever since he got that stupid red card we've not seen him.

28 Jan 2024 10:16:07
He had groin surgery at the end or November.

28 Jan 2024 19:38:05
Think he's further away from the first team than his competitors - ESR and Havertz particularly - so this could be a good move for everyone.

23 Jan 2024 21:34:17
Rumours surrounding Zubimendi seem to be getting a little warmer. I can't see us managing to ship enough out to bring him in, but what do I know? Phillips to West Ham is good business for them, did we have any passing interest? I always rated him myself. Best HB.

{Ed002's Note - Martin Zubimendi (CM/DM) Barcelona may still look to an offer although they are looking at preferred options first and would likely want to include a player in any deal. Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea have sent scouts with Arsenal declaring an interest with his club. Real Sociedad may look to refusing a transfer unless his buy out clause is met in full. A Wildcard would be Bayern Munich. One for the summer not January.

Arsenal had no interest in Kalvin Phillips.}

Good afternoon Ed, is his release clause in the region of 50m? Thank you.

{Ed002's Note - €60M in a single payment.}

24 Jan 2024 15:00:00
Cheers, Ed. Thanks for the update . Best, HB.

24 Jan 2024 07:35:04
Stadium tours are closing 2 hours early today due to an 'internal club event'.

Possible contract extension? Raya being announced as permanant maybe? Could it even be a surprise new signing?

Very much doubt it's the latter but we will see. Could be nothing! 🔴⚪.

Ed002 Osimhen saying he has already made up his mind on his next move in the summer, any chance it is us or with everything i'm reading and hearing it looks like its chelsea.

{Ed002's Note - I don't know what he has said but I am not aware of Arsenal making approach to Napoli by Arsenal.}

Agree0 Disagree1

12 Jan 2024 09:24:19
Morning Ed,

Is there any truth in reports that Arsenal have Isak as one of their top targets? If so, assuming it would be the summer and the fee would be 80m plus?

Thank you Ed.

{Ed002's Note - Not that I am aware and Newcastle will not be looking to sell.}

Agree0 Disagree4

13 Jan 2024 14:25:00
Heard that myself this morning but i hope not - no thanks.

17 Jan 2024 22:58:16
Hi Ed002, Are Arsenal looking to get Benzema on a loan?

{Ed002's Note - Benzema is being offered around but his club could block any move.}

11 Jan 2024 09:13:11
Morning Ed002,

Are Arsenal in for Borja Mayoral?

{Ed002's Note - Another of several strikers they have been scouting.

Borja Mayora (S) Attracting attention from London with Fulham, Arsenal and West Ham declaring an interest after sending scouts.}

Feels like a Lucas Perez kind of signing if it happens.

12 Jan 2024 00:28:28
Totally forgot about Perez HG! What a strange signing that turned out to be.

12 Jan 2024 12:33:08
Wenger done a lot of strange signings towards the end.

16 Jan 2024 17:04:37
I remember all the excitement and crazy predictions about Perez when we signed him, despite the fact none of us had a clue who he was 😊😊😊😊😊.

10 Jan 2024 23:26:15
You won't believe what I've heard "actually read". The unexpected rumourbof all

KARIM BEMZEMA
His name had To be dropped. 😂😂😂.

Agree3 Disagree0

16 Jan 2024 17:06:53
Wow if it actually happened then it might be worth taking another look at tha prediction about the world ending in 2011 Mo 😊.

10 Jan 2024 10:44:31
Any truth in us activating friimpong realise clause in the summer.

{Ed002's Note - Jeremie Frimpong (RB/RWB/RM/LB) Bayer Leverkusen would not be open to offers in January unless someone is offering close to €50M. Being versatile has made him attractive to Chelsea and Arsenal who will likely now have him as first choice after losing out on another. 10 years at Manchester City might be against a move to Manchester United, but they have looked. Agent is offering him around major European sides including Bayern Munich and Barcelona. Aston Villa may provide a wilcard option.}
