⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

I can see Vinicious Junior going to City, but not to United.

No chance. Definitely not as long as Pep is manager. Pep does not like to manage players like Vinicius Junior, players that have such a big ego, one that threatens to be bigger than the club and manager himself. That said, City are known to also back out from transfers if the club is greedy in its valuation of the player, something Real Madrid is sure to do with Vini, so no chance City is going to sign him.

I don't think so. It doesn't only depend on the coach, Man City management will also have a role to determine which player to sign. If Man City management wants to sign Vini, Pep probably agrees with the idea. Vini may reduce his ego under the management of Pep. He must know that he won't get a regular position in the lineup if he keeps his ego. There is no something that is really 0 chance in this case. It is still possible as long as Vini wants to leave Real Madrid and wants to play in EPL.

There is a visible drop in Araújo's performance this season honestly. Not only the La Liga but also the Champions League. Especially the latter... That red card just made things even worse. 

Normally Barcelona can find a more reliable CB than him. But their recent financial problems push them to be more careful. They can make a good profit if they sell him but his worth might still be not that high.

In fact Barcelona used a conservative mind tactics instructions despite Arojo is a aggressive nature player a s because of this, he made mistakes all the time. He is good defensive skill but his aggression make him compelled towards mistakes and that's why Hansi Flick is not giving him a more  minutes than Cubarsi and Garcia. Arojo should need to change his behaviors otherwise Barcelona will not be able to keep him.

Besides that if w talked about his selling then apprantly he has good market value and selling him might be good advantage for Barcelona to bring in other players who can do the defensive port very well. I would love if Barcelona brought Ibrahim Konate.

I can see Vinicious Junior going to City, but not to United. Because City even though is not looking as good as they used to be, is still City and still winning games, whereas that's not the case for United, they have sucked for so long and having not a great season. So if Vini ever went to United, he will not be playing for a good team and why would a great player go to a bad team? That makes no sense, he will want to go to a team that will want to win.

City with Vini could win the league again, they could recover and do great, not that Doku is a bad player, he is great, but still Vini would be a high improvement for sure. That is why I am pretty sure that would be better. However, one issue with that, when Rodri won the Ballon d'or there was a rift between Vini and City, so that could be an issue.

Out of the two clubs it's more likely that anyone will pick Manchester City than Manchester United if given the opportunity. They stand a better chance of winning something than United even though they are still recovering from what happened to them last season. But the truth for now, Vinicuis is not leaving Real Madrid, he has agreed to even renew his contract as it's very likely that both him and the club has resolved that issue between them some few months ago.

[Jostern]

I'm with you that just don't just bin a guy, after one bad month, because he literally won you the league last year. Slot deserves more respect than "one bad week and you're out" But this so far is worst run since 50's. 9 losses in 12, 4-1 to PSV at Anfield, 3-0 to Forest at home, sitting 12th.



The United / Amorim example is spot on in one sense: changing coach and force a system the squad doesn't fit can blow everything up. You see it with Bruno lost, Rashford out on loan and flourishing at Barca and 3-4-3 not bending at all when Everton go down to 10 men at Old Trafford.

With Liverpool it is different. The whole environment changed around Slot: Jota's death, Trent gone, Wirtz not clicking, Alisson in and out. Last season's version of this team doesn't exist anymore emotionally or tactically.

So yeah, I think the board is doing both things at the same time, giving him that "second chance" that you're talking about, but also protecting the club if it doesn't work. If he gets 6/6 now you can sell the story as a freak trauma season turning around. If he doesn't, keeping him just because of last year starts to become sentimental as opposed to smart.

I agree that Liverpool should stick with Slot but I wouldn’t say he won them the league last season. The success Slot had last season was off the back of Klopp and that’s why the fans are so mad that he’s not able to get the team right this season, he keeps playing the same lineup despite the losses. Don’t blame the club for wanting a change of manager, they had so much expectations and spent so much money on signing Isak and wirtz to be struggling in the league.

Liverpool have never been in this situation, in previous season under Jurgen Klopp which is why they are finding it difficult to adapt to the team, especially when new players have been brought in and they need some time to adapt to the team and their new environment, Sticking with Arne Slot would help obviously be a decision of the club board and management, Liverpool aren’t used to sacking managers teams like Chelsea are very good in sacking Managers.

This new players also have to make it easy for the manager to help him keep his job, but of a truth Liverpool can’t sack Arne Slot this season they will have to give him time through out the season and see if results would change and they also will have to observe the teams performance then if it doesn’t change they will have to change the manager in the summer, but I’m completely sure the manager is under pressure because of the money spent during the summer and the players brought in aren’t playing very well.

That's interesting news if it happens. MU looks fine for him because Amorim is very patient with that character. MU need "ego" characters to destroy the lack. Actually, that position is more suitable for Haaland, but because Haaland bound by a new contract with The City, Vini is best option. And the problem is, Are Vini willing give his service to MU?, because MU not a major club that does not competes in the European. Vini just play on premier league, this is insane for person who have high ego, most likely he won't go to a club who don't have many chance to him to appears on big competition.

Regarding Araújo’s potential sale, Barcelona are in a complicated position. They need financial income, but they also can’t simply let go of a centre-back who still has tremendous potential. Araújo’s market value is still quite high and could be beneficial if the club plans to restructure the squad. However, selling a defender with his physical profile and strong character is not an easy decision.

As for Konaté, his profile fits the demands of modern defending—calm, fast, strong, and progressive. But his price tag, combined with Barcelona’s financial situation, might make that transfer difficult to achieve. For that reason, Barcelona’s decision regarding Araújo will largely depend on whether they believe he can adapt to Flick’s tactical requirements.

In short, Araújo is at a crossroads: if he can adjust to the new system, he can remain an important pillar of the team. If not, selling him may become a realistic option for Barcelona.

[Mayor of ogba]

Many rumors appear that he could take a coach bench. A problem is, is he willing? Because he has a prestigious job as an executive at Red Bull, he doesn't need to worry about how to develop a strategy for the squad. He has experience got intense pressure when he was at Liverpool, this situation will make him think twice before handling a club. Mnay names appear to take over Slot, Xaby is also one, but Xaby is still very comfortable in Madrid. The fans are very happy the club in a top situation, which I think is impossible, he will return to his old club.

You guys are making a big scene out of nothing. I understand that the results we have seen from Liverpool isn't good right now, that is fully understandable and they wanted more wins there is no doubt about that. But this dude won them the title last season, how could they be so rash that they want to get rid of the guy who lifted the trophy just six months ago? Isn't that a little unfair?
I mean give the dude some time, they had a terrible tragedy and lost a friend, and a team member, and they are having hard time adjusting to new reality with all these new players. Let them have their time and eventually they are going to get better. Why act as if all is gone? Just give him time, and when the season ends, if the team is still bad and finished bad, then fire him and focus on next season. Getting a new manager today wouldn't change their season anyways.

If Arne Slot hadn't spent so much money in the last summer transfer window and he was performing poorly at Liverpool, there's no way Liverpool management would be eager to get rid of him, but since Arne Slot spent a lot of money and signed several players for Liverpool, it's expected of him to get good results because he has the best players at his disposal to get such results, but his failure to do that has given Liverpool management no choice but to sack him if he fails to win Liverpool's next two matches against West Ham United and Sunderland.

Their is a popular saying in my country that say, "To who much is given, much is also expected" and this is the reality that Arne slot find himself at present, he was given a lot of support to strengthen the team, but instead of them getting better, they are now even worse, so the 🪓 axe will definitely fall on him if result does not improve from now on.
What I sense that they are battling with at present is that, the new players that was brought into the  club, has not fully blended with the other player that was already at the club, and as we all know, it's going to take a whole lot of time for them to understand the coaching pattern and flow of the team, but the ugly reality is that slot doesn't have such time, he need result now.

[Fiatless]

Vinicius is getting his contract renew at Real Madrid, leaving Madrid will be something he will regret throughout his career, with Madrid he is able to win more trophies and also the Champions League, it will be foolish for himself not lowering his demand and making peace with the club for his contract to be renewed, Manchester United is one of the worse club to sign into after experiencing success in a previous club.

Why do you think the player will regret leaving Real Madrid? Nobody can predict the future. Everyone thought Mbappe would win the UEFA Champions League when he moved to Real. The club he left ended up winning the trophy. Renewing his contract with the club is okay but we shouldn't generalise that leaving Madrid closes the door to winning trophies.   

[Samahabosa]

Because City even though is not looking as good as they used to be, is still City and still winning games, whereas that's not the case for United, they have sucked for so long and having not a great season. So if Vini ever went to United, he will not be playing for a good team and why would a great player go to a bad team? That makes no sense, he will want to go to a team that will want to win.

City with Vini could win the league again, they could recover and do great, not that Doku is a bad player, he is great, but still Vini would be a high improvement for sure. That is why I am pretty sure that would be better. However, one issue with that, when Rodri won the Ballon d'or there was a rift between Vini and City, so that could be an issue.

Vinicius has opened up to various options but has not yet made a deal with any club regarding where he will play. However, moving to Manchester United is clearly difficult because Vinicius still wants to be in a competitive Champions League league. And if Real Madrid's desired price is 170 million euros, it will be hard to find a buyer. Like Rodrigo, who has been on the transfer list since last year but still hasn't been sold because Real Madrid set a high price for Rodrigo, even though there were many interested parties, it ultimately got stuck due to the high price.

If the price is 170 million euros, only wealthy and elite clubs can afford it. But even when considering profit and loss based on performance, it shouldn't be like Alexander Isak or Florian Wirtz at Liverpool. Although Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz had very good performances before, the reality is that they couldn't develop at Liverpool and their performance was poor.

[Luzin]

Ultimately it is that comparison that makes him jealous. He thinks he is the best in the world, which he isn't, hence he wants to make the most money or at least as much as Mbappe. That 's childish behaviour, which is sad for a person who is as privileged as he is.

It seems that Madrid doesn't have financial problems, so actually Perez is trying to find the best point. Perez may have already offered a salary increase in the negotiations, but Vini wants more. Perez is certainly considering the team's financial condition. He definitely doesn't want Madrid to have a poor balance. This situation could make Madrid's finances difficult. Vini should think realistically; he should consider the team's condition so that the team's finances remain healthy. Vini is a good player and he might easily get a new team, but playing for Madrid is a huge honor. If he's after money, he should go to Saudi Arabia.

Still a lot negotiation contract extended after Vinicius Jr wants more increase salary payment for new contract if agreement reach, still one season more left for Madrid reach agreement deal of negotiation because Vinicius Jr contract expiring at June 2027. Accepting offer from Vinicius Jr asking higher salary payment I think bring bad impact for teams most of them still not has higher salary such as Vini, difficult position for Vinicius Jr right now after losing regular place always not playing full in La Liga match and he has not good relation with Xabi Alonso.

If want sell Vinicius Jr Madrid must do it before one years contract left, I think several club interested to get him prefer waiting until his contract over and become free agent player.

I was scrolling through X this morning and i saw that Sergio Ramos intend to leave C.F. Monterey as a free agent in 2026 after being in the team in just a year.
https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1994732019553894686?t=GeBrgP3HNvvZhty4MAnf_g&s=19

Some other reports suggest that he wants to leave for Europe impending the long awaited 2026 World Cup as he wants to be play for Spain( which i highly doubt, haha), in his journey in Monterrey, in his 32 matches, he scored 7 goals( an okay stat) over 4 average clearance, over 1.3 interceptions and 4 clean sheets. An overall okay stat.

Where do you guys think he will go next and will any team in the top 4 European leagues want him ?

Still no clue about in what team he will continue his career. It seems he wants bigger team to be able to take part in CW, but his age is so damn old. I think it's the time for him to retire from football and watch the new generation to take part in the World Cup next year.
He's already a washed player. I don't think La Fuente will call him even if he gets a big team to play for the rest of season.

[sokani]

Yes, and many Manchester United fans would probably want Semenyo to play for them because he has the ability to play in several central positions the team needs. Dorgu is still inexperienced, so it's natural for him to make mistakes, but considering his quality compared to other players in the same position, I can say Dorgu is far superior. If given the opportunity, Dorgu will probably develop further, although he hasn't been able to perform consistently yet due to his limited playing time.

Yeah, I've heard that before. But the truth is he's a piece of shit and doesn't deserve to be in the first team. Now, let me ask you a simple question. What does Dorgu bring to the team?

Crosses? No
Dribbling? No
Linkup play? No
Key passes? No
Goals? No
Assist? No
Tackling? No
Pace? Yes

As you can see, he's not good enough and should be relegated to the bench or shipped on loan to another team.

[Sarah Azhari]

I can see Vinicious Junior going to City, but not to United.

No chance. Definitely not as long as Pep is manager. Pep does not like to manage players like Vinicius Junior, players that have such a big ego, one that threatens to be bigger than the club and manager himself. That said, City are known to also back out from transfers if the club is greedy in its valuation of the player, something Real Madrid is sure to do with Vini, so no chance City is going to sign him.

It's not just about his ego, Vinicius Junior is not the type of player that Pep Guardiola likes because Pep Guardiola likes players who can play many positions while Vinicius Junior cannot play in many positions even players of Kylian Mbappé's class have to be willing to not play in their original position because of Vinicius. Therefore, Man City will not recruit Vinicius as long as Pep Guardiola is still the coach because a club if they want to buy a player must coordinate with their coach and as long as the coach does not want it, the club will not buy the player.

So what about harlaand ? I mean pep guadiola likes him to some extent and he is a major contributor to the amount of goals that Manchester City have scored this season and in the case of flexible position, I don't haaland id that flexible enough to play any other position than the pure number 9 position or is the statement you made limited to some certain players only?.

It doesn't appear there are any financial problems at Real Madrid, so negotiations should proceed smoothly. Vinicius may be seeking a much larger salary increase than Real Madrid has offered. This situation does make things difficult, as it could negatively impact Real Madrid's financial situation if they make the wrong decision. If Vinicius wants a large salary, perhaps you're right; he should decide to go to the Saudi Arabian League, as there's a greater chance of accommodating the large salary he's seeking.

However, considering Vinicius' own wishes, he might not be ready to move to the Saudi Arabian League because it would be a shame to lose his potential, especially considering the individual achievements he could have achieved with Real Madrid on the European stage.

[Juicyhome]

It's not just about his ego, Vinicius Junior is not the type of player that Pep Guardiola likes because Pep Guardiola likes players who can play many positions while Vinicius Junior cannot play in many positions even players of Kylian Mbappé's class have to be willing to not play in their original position because of Vinicius.

Are you for real? Vinicius is a natural winger and I'm sure he has the ability to play in any attacking position if the coach wants, he has the energy to play in any position, but Real Madrid has enough players in all positions, so playing vinicius out of position will never make sense when you have good players on the bench that can deliver well. Coaches only play you out of positions when there's no option on the bench.  If Manchester City want to buy vinicius he can be giving any position anf he will deliver, the problem Manchester city is facing now is no an attacking problem it's a Midfielder issue, the midfield is lacking that creativity that Kelvin was given, until they find a good replacement of kelvin they will keep suffering.

Halland has no skill than to shot ball, that's why you can't play out of position, he will flop, but he's the hint man in Manchester city and the Coach pep Guardiola is happy with it, he even played in every matches. If Haaaland that can't defend not know how to dribble can play under coach pep Guardiola,then vinicius can play too, vinicius will can defense and can dribble too. He can play in any winger.
