Ed001, reports from Brazil say that Chelsea have sent scouts for a FIFTH time to scout Bruno Guimaraes? Would you know anything about that?

{Ed002's Note - As a special treat, there is nothing new in this. Bruno Guimaraes (DM/CM) Shakhtar Donetsk have been in discussions with the representative of the player (who they have a close relationship to) and Athletico Paranaense but the asking price is proving to be a major stumbling block. Napoli, Chelsea, Marseille (as a Gustavo replacement) and Kashima Antlers (who are competely out of the picture) have also a declared interest.}

Ed002, I have heard that he has a 40m euro release clause. If Chelsea are unwilling to meet that price, are we not looking at him for an immediate first team role?

{Ed002's Note - What is the relevance of a "release clause" to Chelsea?}

That would be the maximum possible fee Chelsea have to pay, right?

{Ed002's Note - No, they can charge whatever they wish to Chelsea. There are different types of clauses that perhaps has not been explained for a while - remind me later and I will elucidate.}

ed surely atletico madrid should be on the list as been said that they negotiated a first option clause at €30m when thet got Lodi, is that right? thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Yes you can add Atletico but you will have to explain what a “first option clause” is.
