Hi ed002 i was wondering what midfielders we will be looking at to potentially bring in the summer? Thanks and enjoy your day

{Ed002's Note - Adam Wharton (DM/CM) Manchester City are already considering an offer for 2025, knowing that Real Madrid may do the same. The injury to Rodri will hasten the matter.
Alexis Mac Allister (CM) Was on the 2025 list for Real Madrid but their interest has now shifted to another player.
Enzo Fernandez (CM) Looked at by Barcelona but most certainly on the 2025 list for Real Madrid who may look to a part exchange involving Aurelien Tchouameni following initial discussions with Chelsea.
Warren Zaire-Emery (CM) Manchester City, Dortmund and Real Madrid remain interested and there may well be an offer from Madrid in January. Dortmund can be discounted.
Florian Wirtz (AM/F) Arrived as a replacement for Havertz and made an immediate impact with admirers in Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Manchester City, PSG, Liverpool and Bayern Munich sending scouts. Newcastle have a very experienced third party continuing scouting players in Germany for them and have also looked at Wirtz. He signed a new long-term contract in 2024 but struggled to play early last season due to serious injury. Newcastle remain keen if he could prove his fitness but chances of them signing him are very low. Bayer Leverkusen will not want to sell and will point to the length of his contract. Chelsea have him on a list of possible AM additions but have a preferred option and can likely be discounted. Liverpool have not made any offer for the player as many of the fans think and can likely be discounted with other English sides. Expect Bayern Munich or Real Madrid to try to negotiate a transfer, probably Real Madrid would be favourites but the player himself wants a move to Bayern Munich. The future of Xabi Alonso may be critical and he could potentially make his move to Real Madrid a year earlier than planned - so next summer. A wildcard would be Barcelona or Manchester City.}

Brilliant info, ed002 can I ask are we looking to sell Tchouameni and who is interested? Much appreciated

{Ed002's Note - Aurelien Tchouameni (CM/DM) Real Madrid say they do not wish to sell but with a further dip in form have again spoken to with Chelsea, who were previously blocked from completing negotions for the player, about him during discussions over two other players and some deal of exchange may be possible. Bayern Munich have also told Real Madrid that they will be interested if he were to be made available, but they would like a loan with an option to buy although an part exchange will no longer be possible with Davies next summer, as he will be a Free Agent.}
