⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[jakdanyel]

Real Madrid had better convince him to stay somehow. Vinicius Junior is one of the most special players they have in the squad. Skillsets like his are always useful for big teams. He is making a good duo with Mbappe too.  

I'm not surprised about the interest from big Premier League teams. For Manchester United it would be like the best transfer they have made in the recent years by far. But it wouldn't be easy to compete Liverpool for him.

[Ale88]

In my opinion, Real Madrid indeed have no intention of letting Vinicius go, it seems that this will remain nothing more than speculation, regardless of the current situation.

Well, first of all Vinicius must understand that he is no Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. It looks like Perez offer him a new 20-million/year contract and his agent replied Vinicius wants 30 millions per year, that is almost the same salary Ronaldo was earning when he was the best player in the world. Is Vinicius the best player in the world? Absolutely no. So right now he's really playing with fire, especially after what happened a few weeks ago with Xabi Alonso.

If not that vinicius was robbed, trust me he would have been the best player. However both Real Madrid and vinicius can come to an agreement if they want, they could agree on 25 million per year, outside mbappé, vinicius is the second most outstanding player Real Madrid have at the moment and they cannot let him go just like that. Of course a player and the coach might have some issues but I Believe by now it has been settled. This is the point in vinicius junior's career that he needs to earn the highest, so you cannot tell him he doesn't deserve what he's asking for, the Messi and Ronaldo you are calling are all dropping and declining in their career, so vinicius are the current players that are very active, so Madrid needs to come to the negotiating table and agree on a better offer.

No, probably you didn't understand my message: I said that Vinicius is asking the same amount of money Real Madrid was paying to Cristiano Ronaldo when he was by far the best player in the world together with Messi. I'm not talking about today's Ronaldo and Messi. And right now Vinicius is nowhere near to be the best player in the world. And I highly doubt that Real Madrid will give him the increase he wants, in my opinion Vinicius is pushing his luck too much because the management is getting tired of him, and considering that next year Nico Paz will go back to Madrid they can perfectly sell him.

Manchester United? The best transfer for them but not the player. 
Hopefully it's just a passing fad and I'm worried that if Vinicius goes to Manchester United, it's like throwing his fate into the wind. That's unlikely and Madrid won't let him go either. In fact under Xabi, Vinicius movement isn't as free as it was under Ancelotti, but that shouldn't deter him. If he lets his ego down and follows the coach's wishes, he proved yesterday that he can be a dangerous partner alongside Mbappé in the opposition defense.

[Coyster]

Xabi is not having a smooth run in Real Madrid. Maybe it's too late to evaluate his results, but the disagreement he is having with key players like Vinicous Junior is a problem. It is in the news that some key players are leading a revolt against Xabi. Among them are Valverde, Camavinga, Rodrygo and Bellingham. The club would prefer to let Xabi leave than to lose these important players. With these conditions, the Spanish tactician might consider moving to Liverpool.

I am not sure how true this information is, but i know Real Madrid to be an arrogant club with arrogant players. Thus, i would not be surprised if certain players within the camp are truly pushing this agenda against the manager. That said, it is too early to pass appraisal on Xabi Alonso's performance as Real Madrid boss, his team is top of the LaLiga and they are not doing too bad in the Champions League either. If the players want him out, then it is definitely not about performance but something else.

[dezoel]

Totally can understand about Vini but Rodrygo is just trash in Xabi's strategy. Considering that Xabi could play a player like Guler upfront, there is really no reason for him to pick Rodrygo though. Pretty sure that there will be alot of top teams lining up in the winter transfer for him but honestly I dont see Real Madrid releasing Vini anytime soon.

Yeah Mbappe is pretty good and wont be replaced but he cant keep on playing all those games so Vini could come in handy sometimes

I can sort of understand Rodrygo, because lets be honest he hasn't been good at the team since Xabi took over and even when he was given minutes he doesn't play that great so understand that him leaving is okay, and the team wouldn't miss much, but Vini situation is a trouble for them.

Vini is a great player and while Xabi plays a lot more straight forward ahead instead of wings which made Rodrygo terrible but Vini is another level of player, he is a Ballon D'or level player and him not being in the team would be an issue. Even if lets assume that they make 300+ million from selling both of them, who are they going to get that would be better? They are not going to get anyone that would help them, so it is not going to be same.

I second this without a doubt. Vinicius isn't even close. Ronaldo has played a left winger for Real Madrid I think and he scored 40+ goals in La Liga alone in some seasons. Again, 40+ goals is without CL and Copa del Rey and Supercopa. Vinicius is a good player, but he is one of those guys who should learn how to be more down to earth and be thankful for what they have. Staying away from events like Ballon dOr because he is jealous of another player receiving the award is ridiculous. I must say though that I am not sure whether Ronaldo has done the same one time? I can't remember, but Vinicius is overrated and most of that overrating comes from himself.

It would be good if Vinicius Junior stayed at Real Madrid. Before Mbappe's transfer, Vinicius Junior took on more responsibility. He and Mbappe are in sync now. Players may not perform the same way in every match, but no matter how professional they are, they complement each other perfectly.

It's also good that Premier League teams are interested in signing Vinicius Junior, and it would be good to see him in the Premier League as well.

Just another rumor is coming. MU is being reported to retain their admiration for Semenyo. Since this rumor is coming from Ornstein, and i believe its credibility. It's very possible to see MU to acquire him during the winter window. It will be so good to have him on the left side, and Mbeumo at the right side.
They need only to buy him for 65m from Bournemouth. I think such price is a bit overvalued, but he's PL proven so i think it's better instead of waste 65m to the non PL proven players.

I'm looking for you guys opinion regarding this. Does MU need to buy him?

In my opinion, the players Manchester United currently needs are in midfield and defense because both lines lack good players, especially Casemiro, who is getting older and his performance has also started to decline. Therefore, Manchester United needs a player who can replace Casemiro's role as well as in the defense. Manchester United's front line this season is not too problematic, especially since there are many players who play in the attacking position, so there is no need to recruit Semenyo, especially with a high price, of course Manchester United will calculate to recruit a player with a high price.

If Vini itself is not willing to extend his contract, why does Madrid need to force him to do that? He's been lacking of good attitude. He doesn't get a special privilege like what he got when Ancelotti was there. So no point to defend him when he against his coach.
His reason by not agree in extending his contract said it all. He's not satisfied with the way Xabi's coaching the club. So if he decides to leave, then let him do it.

I respect him with all of his contribution to the Madrid. However, it makes no sense to defend him when he's out of control. I don't think he can find a club that can pay him more than what Madrid did.

So yeah no player is bigger than the club. Let him think by himself.

If they want to change, make sure they change with the player that has a high probability will success.

Manchester United like to sign inconsistent players who could be either good or bad, we have seen many of their players turn bad because they can't resist the pressure and adapt with the new team.

Well yeah Manchester United don't really have a problem on their forward except the striker alone. So far in Premier League, they score 19 goals and conceded 19 goals, they suppose to get conceded less than they scores, so yeah signing the midfielders and defenders should be their main focus.

I don't think there is any player that is bigger than any club. Ronaldo did the same thing that time, he wanted more money because he feels he has contributed more for the club and they stay no and he left for Juventus. If Vinicious feels his entitled, he can be free to go other club but if he is reason enough the agents can dialogue because I feel he deserves the pay considering what other players are earning and they are not putting work like he is doing.

If they don't reach a final stage, there is open transfer by January and there is one by end of the season. It's his choice, the club can sell him and still make money and then bring someone that was ambitious like him. He wasn't this good back then, it was determination and chance the club gave him that made him where he is today. He can negotiate peacefully or live.

I agree that their Frontline isn't bad on one aspect and that's the aspect of creating of chances but for the one that has to deal with goal scoring then that's a very different case because they have created so many chances but the rate of conversion is so poorly that it makes them almost like not having a functional attacking force which is bad if any team wants to progress.

The Vini Jr drama isn't over yet. Lol.
He has the right to get what he wants now, but Madrid also has the right to refuse. They even offered him a raise, but it didn't meet Vini expectations. The core issue here isn't just the raise, but his discomfort with Xabi Alonso.
If Vini continues to behave like this, I don't think selling him is a big deal. Even if he stays, it will affect the team's performance. If I were Real Madrid, I would consider selling Vini to the Arab League, not the Premier League, where he would likely offer much higher profits. But the bottom line is, I hope this issue is resolved quickly and Vini stays.

I feel like people overrate Vini, and even he overrated himself. Don't get me wrong, Vincius is a good player, better than most players in his position, but he is not a player you break the bank for. He is not the kind of player a club chooses over their manager (except the manager is bad). If they can't get a reasonable deal with him, the club can let him go.

One of Vini's biggest problems is inconsistency. He can be exceptional in 2 matches, then in the next 5 matches, he is an eyesore. That kind of player is not the kind of player the club keeps at all costs.
From what I have read about the deal, he is asking for way more money. I don't think he is in a position to ask for that when you consider his performances from last season till now. He was average for most of last season, and he hasn't totally convinced the club with his performance this season either. Mbappe came into the team and took all the spot light with his performance.
I think if no agreement can be made between him and the club, he should be sold. He can be replaced, he is not irreplaceable.

[Richbased]

Xabi Alonso accepted to be Liverpool coach is the past but he wasn't given the opportunity before Madrid hired him. Xabi Alonso made it clear that he can only move to two clubs if he wants to leave Leverkusen which are Real Madrid and Liverpool. Madrid has him now and he wouldn't go anywhere because he has a major role to play with the team.

This is the media; they can always create rumors and interesting speculation even if it hasn't happened. Do you think Slot deserves to leave or be fired? Answer calmly. After what he delivered last season? I think it shouldn't be this quick. He is still worthy of being Liverpool's coach. There are many key factors beyond the coach. Arne Slot has made many big changes, and the players haven't yet found their best form, so they are going through a tough test because they are in a phase of transition and structural improvement.

The board has already made their by giving him 2-3 games to save his job, got the news from a reliable @indykaila. So let's see if Slot would keep up tp the task ahead. Well, according to your question, it would've unfair if their decision after a meeting with him was firing him, I get that many fans are not happy with the situation of the club currently but what Slot did for them last season requires that he's given a second chance.
 Signing a new coach could ruin them further cause the new manager would come with a different strategy that could take the players long or tough for them to adapt to, just like it happened with Manchester United when Amorim took over, I just hope Slot make good use of thos chance he's given so I won't get to hiring another manager and further ruining the club this season.

You need to understand something, Liverpool is a big team and for them to be in an unstable form for 2 months now shows signs of incompetence from Arne Slot. Out of their last 12 games in all competition they have only won 3 which is a very poor of the team. They should save the club now instead of hoping for things to get better but yet getting worse. This was same way Manchester United was being very lenient with Eric Ten Hag after he won Manchester City at the F.A cup final but when a new season kicked off he almost crippled the team until he was sacked. Liverpool cannot take because Arne Slot won the Premier League for them last season and begin to be emotional about sacking him, if he can't meet up with the expectations of the club he should be sacked and a new coach should be signed to take over from him. The Premier League needs serious competition that will keep the league in suspense and we know how formidable Liverpool used to be so we need them to pick up form and join other title contenders to make the league interesting to watch.

Vincius is strongly convinced he is the best player in the world, that is his first problem. I don't like Lamine Yamal's attitude but he showed more skills in two years than Vinicius did in 7. And even in the Brazilian national team probably right now 18-year-old Estevão is already making a bigger impact than Vinicius. If we take a look at his numbers with the national team... It's a disaster.

I don't see how Liverpool could buy him after all the crazy expenses; then we have United that are a disaster; City for sure don't need him. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in Saudi Arabia.

The situation will be further complicated if Vinicius isn't happy with Xabi Alonso. Regarding salary, I think Real Madrid might eventually be willing to meet his demands. Florentino Perez is certainly very astute in the transfer market, and he doesn't hesitate to let his star players go. If Vinicius acts too much, I think he will be sold too.
For now, I think Vinicius will most likely stay. Real Madrid management will certainly try to keep him, as it's difficult to find a suitable replacement. Vinicius had previously received an offer from a Saudi Pro League team, if Real Madrid had released him at that time, they would have clearly made a huge profit. With the current uncomfortable situation, many clubs are also monitoring the opportunity to sign Vinicius.

Several players could leave Real Madrid because of Alonso, with the way he treated Rodrygo you can tell that he really wants his own signing to dominate the team. However Vini Jnr is a drama king lol, so I'm not suprised at his reactions he might just be doing that to get more raise knowing that he's important to the club and they'll do eerything possible to retain him.
 
 Yeah, selling him won't be a big deal and it might even be an advantage for Resl Madrid to scout a younger prospect that would replace him in the near future if he leaves sooner, moreover the money they'll realise from his sale would be enough to sign a good replacement, would Vini consider moving to Arab? I don't think  so.

Xabi Alonso should be careful of what he is doing cause it's too early for him to start acting like a God to his players when he knows that they can make him get sacked anytime if he doesn't keep things cool with them, Imagine the same players that was under Ancelotti for years without issues is having issues with Xabi Alonso who is a younger manger the best thing will be for the club to replace the manager so that they won't lose their great players who are holding the team strong.

Exactly the coach is not acting well with some players in the club but is the manager and he can do anything he like with the players if he don't like you that is how you will be seat in the batch. Vini Jr is a key player for real madrid and I don't know why xabi Alonso like keeping him substitute and that always hurt him because as a key player like vini Jr in madrid they don't suppose to be seating in the batch in any match, he deserves to be playing 90mint the way Mbappe play in many competitions. And if xabi don't like vini Jr am sure the boy will definitely leave madrid and to have some one like vini Jr in the club he will be very difficult because is the one that is creating many chances for Mbappe to score goals and making him the best in madrid currently.
