Hi,
A question for Ed002 if he has time.
You said on the United page yesterday that Bale might be leaving.
Can you please tell which clubs are interested in signing him?
Thanks a lot :)

{Ed002's Note - Real Madrid will let Bale leave this summer or next, depending on arriving players. Potential interet would be from the Manchester sides and potentially Arsenal.}

Hi Ed, as well as Mbappe, which other attacker/ s are Madrid trying to bring in? Is Dembele of Dortmund someone they have looked at?

{Ed002's Note - When Renne's Ousmane Dembele attracted the attention of Dortmund and made his move based on his getting game time, it was clear that the other sides who had been watching him and those who had declared an interest whould keep an eye on him - this includes Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Marseille, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Seville, Roma, Leicester, Spurs, Liverpool, Lille and Manchester City, probably amongst others. Whilst most of these sides can now be discounted from being interested Barcelona would like to take Ousmane Dembele this summer but would need to work very hard or made a spectacular offer to Dortmund to persuade them to sell to sell. Madrid have their eyes on a couple of others as potential replacements for Bale but could well also turn to Dembele if Bale were to leave this summer - which I wouldn't rule out at all. Otherwise, it is possible if Chelsea were to lose Hazard then they could also look to Dembele.}

Wow, thanks for the detailed answer ed. Much appreciated!
Am I right in thinking Hazard is their number one target to replace Bale?

{Ed002's Note - I would avoid the thoughts of "number 1" particularly given Hazard is injured.}

Indeed he is. Forgot about that. On Bale (Sorry to push), is it a matter of Madrid selling him first and then buying or are they trying to buy before they sell him? Shocked that they're looking to sell him so soon really. He seemed set to be their main man after Ronaldo and is very happy there. No need to answer if it's a silly question. Thanks again ed.

{Ed002's Note - Why try and complicate everything?}

True. I will avoid asking these sort of questions moving forward. Thanks for the answers above ed.
