They want Chelsea and Utd to bid for him...
Mentioned him in Jan, he is only 18 so can he deal with the intensity of the PL?
I've a fellow photographer who's a rabid Porto fan (he's Portuguese) and this is what he had to say on this lad when I said there's potential interest from Liverpool (winding him up):
Really?!! Hey hope not! That kid is very good, talented for his 18 years old, with 18 years old he is much better than the guy who normally plays in the first team that is 7 years older than him. Martim is very good, like Arnold he is highly skilled in the crossing. Sometimes he makes little mistakes that are normal because of his age and because he is so confident and brave that sometimes he move too foward in the field and forget to defend, but he is still learning.
As important as his football technical and tatical skills is his seems to be emotionally strong and regular. Because of that he do not get affected when he makes mistakes, and that's not very common, almost every football players when things start to go bad have is football quality really damaged but is not what happens with Martim, he stays focused. So if Liverpool wants him they need to pay a lot i suppose. Because he worth it and because fc porto is bankrupted.
One thing we also need to consider with our signings is home grown quotas etc. If we lose Trent that is obviously one of the quota gone, does Gomez count in the quota? Kelleher too (if he goes)? Not sure how the likes of Kerkez or Huijsen fit into this category, if at all. We are either going to have to trust some of our own more e.g. McConnell, Danns etc. or also include some that do in the shortlists for these roles
Bajcetic is home grown too I think...
Edit:
Man, I could use some "home grown" right about now
I doubt Real would sell Tchoumeni, last time I checked he had played more mins then any of our midfield and presumably mostly in defense.
Real normally hold onto those types and especially those so young. I would focus on others rather than another drawn out fruitless DCM chase this summer.
Yeah, it would only make sense if he was available and on the move
Is there a HG quota? I was of the view that a club cannot exceed more than 17 non-HG players over 21. This is where @StevieM comes in.
Frimpong would be home grown and this martim kid is under 21 and is not effected by the non-home grown rule until he reaches 22. By then I am not sure if he qualifies as HG?
I respect the fuck out of this. That's a fucking hustle right there
Fk Tchouameni. Camavinga is the one
He is available for the right price and it varies from £70-100m as he is contract till 2029
£50 million plus Isak and Claire Balding.
We won’t. There’s too many leaving as it is.
It’s, as you said you can only have a max of 17 non-HG players - so if you want a full squad of 25 senior players, you need at least 7 HG players.
For us, in the current squad - that’s Kelleher, Trent, Gomez, Jaros, Curtis & Morton - we’ve only registered 6.
At least Quansah, Harvey & Bradley will need to be registered next season, I think, as they’re no longer U21’s.
So we’re probably good to lose a few of the players currently registered - particularly if we’re wanting to sign a few more overseas players - we currently have 15 registered, so we have space for 2 more OS players without selling or losing any current OS players.
I'm trying to work out which number is wrong.
Its the 7.
To have a maximum squad, you need 8 home grown players.
U21s do not need to be registered. But can be. Not that any club ever would as you are then handicapping yourself.
Also worth mentioning that UEFA rules are different for European squads.
They differentiate the home grown as association trained and club trained and state you can only have a max 4 association trained.
Not so much of an issue for us all our HG players came through the ranks and we haven’t tended to buy HG players from other teams.
There’s also a rule about U21’s having to be with the club for 2 seasons before they can be included on the U21list. They can be added as one of the spots in the squad of 25 if we needed to.
That’s why we’ve had issues playing some of the younger talent in European games.

This was the 22 men squad (inc. 7 HG) we registered:
Goalkeepers: Alisson, Kelleher*, Jaros*
Defenders: Van Dijk, Konate, Gomez*, Alexander-Arnold*, Robertson, Tsimikas
Midfielders: Mac Allister, Jones*, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Endo, Morton*, Hill*
Forwards: Salah, Diaz, Jota, Nunez, Chiesa, Gakpo
=====
In Quansah, Elliott and Bradley, we will have 3 players with HG status (already/will turn 22 by the next squad registration).
Goalkeepers: Alisson, Kelleher*, Jaros*
Defenders: Van Dijk, Konate, Gomez*, Alexander-Arnold*, Robertson, Tsimikas

Maybe only Jones of those HG is going to still be here after the Summer clear-out !
Appaz there are 14 clubs interested. I would set the price at 100 mill £ as well..
They could set the price at £500 mill it wouldn't make a difference.
He hasn't done anything yet.
