Hi ed002 with the season almost over is it possible to get summary of ins and out? Thanks you

{Ed002's Note - Perhaps needs an update, but:

Ferland Mendy (LB) Available - injury concerns. Arsenal offer an option.
Nacho Fernandez (CB) Free Agent.
Eduardo Camavinga (CM/DM) Real Madrid will persist with the player who is playing well but is supported by Ancelotti who takes the time to explain instructions to him - the next coach may not take that time. Will stay for next season.
Luca Modric (CM) Real Madrid offer a further year with a transitioning role and very lucrative offers from the Middle East are on the table to follow that.
Tony Kroos (CM) Will stay one more year as Bellingham is integrated.
Dani Ceballos (CM) Free Agent in the summer but Real Madrid may still offer him a new contract - but it is all money dependent as they need to make savings to the wage bill. Bayern Munich have made a proposal to take him as a Free Agent in the summer. Atletico, Aston Villa and Wolves are interested. Has been offered to other sides including Roma and Inter. Valencia are a less attractive option.
Eden Hazard (LW/AM) Fenerbahce, Newcastle and Galatasaray will provide options but the player will likely stay another year and see out his contract. Juventus may offer a short-term deal and Inter Miami may want to take him at no cost in the summer.
Marco Asensio (RW/LW/AM) Having a decent season but out of contract in the summer and not keen on Real Madrid's offer of a new contract at a reduced salary. Looking at options and at 27 there will not be a shortage of them. PSG offer a very viable solution but game time would be an issue. A move to Barcelona is possible, but probably only as cover. Liverpool may still have an interest and with Firmino departing it is no longer difficult to see where he would fit in. Arsenal have a preferred target but have spoken with his agent. Aston Villa have a declared interest and the money is going to be available. Will be offered to Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Juventus but it is unlikely any will be interested.
Mariano Diaz (S) Available as a Free Agent.
Karim Benzema (S) Huge offer from the Middle East will make him think hard about a contract extention in Madrid. Free Agent.

César Azpilicueta (RB/CB) Will have a year left in the summer but if Real Madrid come calling then Chelsea will not stand in his way if he wants to leave. There are complications that could see him stay in England. Chelsea have already signed his replacement and Barcelona already have a right back arriving in the summer, so their interest will likely have gone.
Alphonso Davies (LWB) Bayern Munich have told Real Madrid and Chelsea he is not for sale.
Goncalo Inacio (CB) Watched by scouts from a number of PL sides, including Liverpool and Manchester United, but no declared interest. Real Madrid offer a wildcard option. PSG cannot be discounted just yet, but I expect interest to fall away. Sporting will accept a decent offer.
Josko Gvardiol (CB) Opted to join RBL to replace Konate over Leeds. Leeds, again, and Newcastle have asked after him but that will go nowhere. RBL do not want to sell but he is reluctant to agree a new contract but that won't force a summer exit if he does not agree a contract extension before then. RBL want to include a significant termination clause in his contract. Chelsea have him at the top of the list of CBs the club are still considering and tried last Summer and in January to buy him, having a huge offer rejected - but they are still talking to RBL but they don't want to lose two players to Chelsea this summer and have RBL given a huge figure that would facilitate any further talks and chance of a move. One benefit that Chelsea has is RBL interest in taking a Chelsea player in the summer. Chelsea are currently looking to strike a deal for next summer. Juventus, Spurs and Marseille have also sent scouts to watch the player and Spurs have asked about availability but they can all be discounted. Real Madrid have also spoken to RBL about the player. Manchester City see him as a Laporte replacement and have declared an interest in taking him this summer. Barcelona, who had him as an option, have shifted interest to others including a Free Agent. A self-confessed Liverpool supporter and they may be interested but have not declared any interest with his club and may well be scared away by the price. Very, very expensive.
Bruno Guimaraes (DM) Newcastle want a new contract else will price him out of a move to Barcelona, forcing them to return to Neves. Real Madrid and Chelsea maintain an interest.
Jude Bellingham (CM) The transfer will be completed at the start of June.
Nicolo Barella (CM) Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid have had approaches turned away. Don't be surprised of a significant offer from PSG or a further approach from Real Madrid - but Inter don't wish to sell and would no doubt demand €100M or so. Liverpool or Spurs may show an interest but Inter have not been approached by either although they have sent scouts. The player does not wish to leave and is expected to sign a new contract. Long term interest of Chelsea went with the player wanting to stay in Italy - although they could yet try to persuade him otherwise. Wildcard may be an approach form Manchester United who have instructed a third party to enquire on their behalf. If Bellingham is confirmed RM interest will go.
Gabri Veiga (CM/AM) Attracting scouts from PL and La Liga. Real Madrid offer an option but the player wants to be a starter and he won't be there. Newcastle may make an offer. Arsenal are keen but need to make a decision about departures. For Manchester United an alternative to Bellingham. Celta Vigo will not look to sell unless relegated.
Mason Mount (AM) Yet to agree a new contract and could depart if he is not more reasonable in his demands - and his demands are very significant. Real Madrid and Juventus, both via a third party, have asked after him. Juventus won't match his wage demands but they have a tax advantage, but I suspect they can be discounted unless atrade for Vlahic, possibly including another player could be arranged. Barcelona have made a direct approach to Chelsea but the salary demands would be an issue. Real Madrid are looking to move on a couple of high earners in the summer so could afford him but again if Bellingham signs interest will go. There is no interest from PSG or Bayern Munich who are two clubs who could afford him. Chelsea are rather miffed with him and will sell in the summer if a new contract is not agreed.
Malamine Efekele (RW/F) On the Vision 2030 list for Chelsea - Real Madrid will offer an option. Monaco will not want to sell.
Dusan Vlahovic (S) Only joined in January 2022 but financial issues that Juventus now have will likely determine if he is sold in the summer. There will be a lot of interest if he is and his agent has approached Manchester United, Chelsea and PSG. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are also keen. Chelsea may be open to an exchange of players.
Iker Bravo (S) On loan from Bayer Leverkusen and RM will exercise their option to buy.
Romelu Lukaku (S) Wants to stay at Inter - it may just be possible but they would want another year on loan after the first half of this season has been poor. They will look to a smaller loan fee than agreed and a wage cut. The situation needs resolving and discussions will be held but Chelsea will not look to keep him - although the new coach may have a say. There is some notion that he could join Spurs but it seems unlikely to me as I expect Conte to move on or even Real Madrid.
Kylian Mbappe (F) Real Madrid will look again but must move on Hazard and other high earners. 2024 may be more likely.
Erling Haaland (S) Team Raiola are open to negotiating with Manchester City to remove a termination clause from his contract. Real Madrid were intending to meet the clause in 2024 but may bring it forward a year knowing that PSG may look to an offer. Bayern Munich and Chelsea may still maintain an interest, but the player will likely want Real Madrid who may need decide between him and Mbappe. Affording Bellingham and one of the others in the same window could be a significant problem for Madrid who are looking to clear wages still. PSG would like to replace Messi and Neymar with Haaland but it won't be this summer.

Thanks so much, are we interested in havertz?

{Ed002's Note - Kai Havertz (AM/F) Bayern Munich are keen but right now Chelsea want him the stay so Munich have shifted their attention to another player. Real Madrid offer a wildcard option but it may depend on whether Carlo Ancelotti stays or not, but Chelsea will not look to sell.}
