If this doesn't fall under Edu's job description then what does? I'm sure we still have a legal team to handle the technicalities.
You just hire an intermediary - it's fairly standard practice. Liverpool, for instance, do it all the time.
Isn't hiring too many intermediaries what got us here in the first place?

I reckon it’s one of the reasons Raul is gone, I think Edu most likely wants a broader role.

Yeah. If you know what you are doing in terms of the players you want, 3rd parties cannot take advantage of you. When you have no plan, then people can step in and shape your agenda for you.
More murmuring of rennes being interested in david luiz. That would be odd

selling him for 10-15 mil would be freaking hilarious.
Reliable local newspaper from Naples have claimed that if Napoli misses out on Gabriel they will be in for Sokratis.

Just for that it is worth bringing in Gabriel
Napoli fans must hate us
Papa is on big wages, would be nice if we can sell him this summer.
A lot of rumors in the Italian media that Juventus sporting director Paratici is in London to negotiate the purchase of Lacazette.
Not against the move if we can recoup a good transfer fee from this sale.
We are going to have a significantly lower cost base in 2020-21 than we did last season.
I wouldn't be surprised if Willian is Lacazette's replacement.
And then we will get rid of a bunch of defenders, midfielders and Ozi. The only 2 new transfer fees we will take on will be Gabriel and one of Partey / Aouar.

As long as Laca is replaced (no, not by Willian nor Eddie).
If the Frenchman is sold, we simply cant go into next season with one main striker
Other reports say the are after Bellerin and offering Rugani in exchange. I would give them a big Bajan spliff and tell them puff on that and try again.
Laca and Douzi for Dybala sounds like a fair deal.
Juve need to balance out their team in my opinion. Laca for Dybala will do that.
Skysports reporting that once Gabriel arrives with will have 9 CBs. (Mavropanos out on loan so 8)
Sokratis and Mustafi will not be renewed no matter if they have any takers or not this summer.
Chambers will be kept due to his versatility.
Arteta will need to choose one more to sell from Luiz/Mari/Holding.
