⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[kriminall]

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.

Vini Jr. isn't much of a substitute at Real Madrid. Xabi has made him the starting center whenever he can. If you'd said Rodrygo, I'd agree, but you might be wrong about Vini. The Spanish manager wants him in the team at every opportunity. There's currently a contract crisis, but if they can overcome it, I believe he'll be a key player in the team next year.

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.

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.

At the moment there is no reason that can be considered strong enough to maintain Slot with their current condition because if we look at the statistics and results of the matches that Liverpool are currently getting then maybe this is Liverpool's worst condition in recent seasons because when they were in charge of Klopp they were not this bad but indeed for now Liverpool's bad luck continues to repeat itself in the hands of Slot.

There needs to be significant improvement and it could be that the performance of the coach is one of the problems that must be resolved because to see the current squad they are quite complex even this season they are one of the most loyal clubs in player spending which means that a lot has been sacrificed by the club to meet Slot's expectations but he cannot provide proof of what he expects because currently Liverpool look like an ordinary club after a series of negative results received.

[Coyster]

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.

I am not quite sure if these teams are actually interested in signing Vinicius Junior or if it is just rumor. I would lean towards the latter, i believe it is a rumor. Vinicius does not have the best attitude, coupled with his high wages and huge signing fee, so i am not quite sure that there would be a plethora of clubs chasing him for his signature. The Brazillian should prolly stay in Real Madrid, it looks like that's the club meant for him, if he wants to move to another team, then he has a lot of work to do on his attitude.

Vinicius Junior is a starting player for Real Madrid even if he doesn't play a full game or full games he is still one and the coach knows why he is rotating him. Other players still needs to play especially if they are or can be reliable in that position while he is the best but when rest is possible the coach can opt for it.

They are still negotiating the price but I think he is still pushing things maybe because Mbappe is now like the face but still they all can still remain in the club and fulfil their goal.

Arsenal is also doing good change, and they are securing players which can bring positive changes into their performance, and they could be having mentality which will help them for having the good number of trophies because change of strategy and mentality always helps clubs to secure good wins. Arsenal was doing good but sadly not able to win trophies now on right patch for having win title if any serious injury will be not happened then Arsenal is going to be had their first title in years.

Arsenal can win everything, they just need to correct something, be consistent, If they are not consistent, they will not be able to do anything, because City is chasing them Just ask Liverpool how they lost the Premier League title to City.

[Alpha Marine]

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.

I won't be surprised if he goes to Saudi Arabia. Brazilians have been known to follow the money, but I still doubt. I believe he will make a deal with one European team if he leaves Madrid. PSG is a team he can go to. They can afford him if he wants to go. I think Arsenal, too, is another team that might like his services. I think teams like Man United and Liverpool can get him, but it won't be for the price people think. Nobody will buy Vini for $150 million. The most is $100. Madrid might first try to hold out, but they will be forced to sell him by the summer of 2026, or they might lose him for free a year after that if he doesn't renew his contract.

Exactly, the PR that often becomes a stumbling block after passing the middle of the season until the end for Arsenal is being consistent until the end. Because they sometimes missed so many chances and made mistakes in the middle to the end of the season. And this must be corrected by Arteta so he can maintain his first-place position until the end and lift the trophy.

By the way, the latest news from former Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos, whose contract with Monterrey FC expires in 2026, and he will become a free agent. He is already 39 years old, but according to reports, he is still not retiring.

Liverpool in the dump after the manager showering non associatesble features. The Madrid president, Florentino Pérez is happy with the current adaptation of the club and how they're skyrocketing to the Moon an coming back stronger. Alonso have proven to be one of the very best managers in football currently. They adopt a pattern that's competitive for them and not watching how they're relenting and collecting players.

Arsenal can not win everything,  they may have the squad but do these players have the mentality that they can win it all. The recent statistics popped up considered them as favorites for both the Champions League and the Premier League. They can win the Premier League but not the Champions League. I will go on to say that they will be winning both the Premier League Competition and also the Carabao Cup. They deserve lifting the league title, Arsenal have fought too hard to win it. Mikel Arteta and the boys will be proud properly

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.

Arsenal is close of winning the league if they can be consistent as they are now till the end of the English Premier league season, Arsenal has been like this in some past seasons but give up before they end of the season, Manchester City hasn't lost hope for the league so Arsenal shouldn't be relax that they have won the tittle without staying consistent. It won't be funny any more if Arsenal sleep over the English Premier league tittle this time.

And where would he play at PSG? They already have Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia, Barcola e Doué as wing players, I would never sell any of them to bring in a primadonna like Vinicius. They got rid of players like Mbappé, Messi and Neymar who felt they were bigger than the club, they won't make the same mistake again. And especially they are not going to give him a 30+ million salary. Vinicius is out of his mind, only the Arabs would pay him that much.

Vinicius Junior is a starting player for Real Madrid even if he doesn't play a full game or full games he is still one and the coach knows why he is rotating him. Other players still needs to play especially if they are or can be reliable in that position while he is the best but when rest is possible the coach can opt for it.

They are still negotiating the price but I think he is still pushing things maybe because Mbappe is now like the face but still they all can still remain in the club and fulfil their goal.

I still think the manager is try to see how the team would manage without Vinicius Jr because I don't seem to understand why a starter in the Madrid squad start sitting on the bench all of a sudden, like it doesn't make sense at all and the player have complained about this and we saw how angry he was when he was substituted in one of their games, later on we saw a picture of both manager and player hold each other on the shoulder and smiling as if everything was fine, since then when Vinicius Jr comes in as a sub or was being subed off he doesn't act like he's pissed, something isn't right even if the manager wants to let other players get a playing time I don't think it should be with Vinicius Jr, imagine doing such to Mbappe.
I don't see any better negotiation than Vinicius Jr leaving to at least get himself back on track, by getting more game time and as a starter.

[asriloni]

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.

Just after this news went viral. Vini seems change his mind. He's now almost accepting Real Madrid's offer, though he will receive less salary. He's also doing reconciliation with Xabi about their relationship.

I saw this from reading mundodeportive, which is 2nd tier news merchant. I hope it's true and we will still see him wear Madrid's jersey. Hopefully, his drama comes to its end.

The only way Real Madrid can convince Vinicius Junior to stay put at Real Madrid is when they agree to pay him the same wages Kylian Mbappe is currently receiving at Real Madrid, but if Real Madrid refuse to do that, Vinicius Junior will surely leave Real Madrid when his contract expires. Since Manchester United is still struggling, Vinicius Junior won't want to move to Manchester United, so there's a good chance Liverpool will beat Manchester United to sign Vinicius Junior from Real Madrid if Manchester United and Liverpool are the only clubs interested in Vinicius Junior.

There seems to be a strong disaffection between some top players and Xabi Alonso. Real Madrid will not make much headway without cooperation between players and the coach. It's good news to know that Vinicius Jr have reconsidered his stance and is now open to a new deal. The Brazilian is an important player that the club might not afford to lose currently until a replacement is signed. Carlo Ancelotti was able to manage top players in the club Xabi should learn from him.

Since there are a lot of matches remaining for the Premier League season to end, I think Arsenal shouldn't worry only about Manchester City because there are a lot of matches remaining in the Premier League which another team can possibly use to stop Arsenal from winning the Premier League title. Arsenal is already at an advantage to winning the Premier League; they just need to maintain consistency to clinch the Premier League at the end of the season.

[Luzin]

Yes, if Madrid still wants him, then maybe they can raise his salary. But remember, the big boss at Madrid, with his history, has let go of stars because of complicated contract issues. But I see that Vini and Mbappe seem to be in sync right now. They both support each other to achieve victory. Vini's contract seems to last until June 2027, so we will soon find an answer this winter or later in the summer.

[Velvet78]

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.
