⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

From what I understand about Vinicius' contract situation, he wants his new salary to match up with Mbappe's salary, and I don't think Real Madrid will do that based on the fact that his performance has declined. If he does not take the offer on the table, he will be sold out, and the destination is likely Saudi Arabia because I doubt if interested clubs like Chelsea or Bayern will want to offer him such a contract.

That's exactly it, and the club has already conveyed to him its position that this is impossible. It's clear that from Vinnie's perspective, Real Madrid's problems (their inability to pay exceptional salaries to everyone) don't seem like Vinny's problems, but he needs to consider his options: Real Madrid offers both a good salary and titles. Who will give him both an exceptional salary and titles? I'm not sure Bayern, City, or PSG would take him on a stratospheric salary, even for free, as he's a very risky and fragile asset. That only leaves Saudi Arabia. Does he want to go there at 25?

Are you trying to say that Mbape is the reason why Vinicius is not performing? Vinicius fans are putting blame on Mbape because Vinicius is not doing well, Vinicius performance started reducing since he started a relationship, Vini was very good last season even when Real Madrid is not having a good season vini was having a good game by scoring and also giving assists, everything started falling apart since he started a relationship, Vinicius is the cause of his problems, some footballers don’t do well when they started adding women to their life.

There is nothing wrong with Mbape joining Real Madrid and if that is the case why Vini did not perform well when Mbape is injured? Why can’t he step up and make people believe that he is better without Mbape? Vinicius deserves any amount he wants from Real Madrid but he has to prove to the club that he deserves it, even if he has won two Champions League for Real Madrid before there are many legends that have done better than him and still don get the salary they want from Real Madrid.

That’s what a lot of people think they all Mbappe is one of the best players in clubs he always try his possible best to make sure his teams success, and even if observe Real Madrid ever since Mbappee was signed in their a little batter than last season. Because has of last season Mbapper and Vinicius didn’t understand each other due it taken a while, before he adapt to the team.

I think the big problem of Real wis injuries that’s their main challenges the teams is facing all this while, because even the Mbappe and Vinicius are doing well and others talented players are injured they won’t see the work of those players; it’s clear that only one tree cannot make a forest.

Marc Guehi to Manchester City.
Finally, the Crystal Palace captain has found a new team after failing to join Liverpool in the previous transfer window and is now officially a Manchester City player.

One thing I've learned from Marc Guehi's transfer to Manchester City is about team needs. Any team that recruits players based on team needs is more likely to perform solidly than one that brings in players for reasons other than need.
Manchester City is short on center-backs after Dias, Stones, and Gavrdiol got injured. Pep is sharp about this.

Manchester City really did a good deal in getting Marc Guehi, he is a really good player and also a premiership tested player. Manchester City needed reinforcement in their defense, due to many injuries in their defense and they did the right thing to get one of the best defender in the league. I think it's a win win for every party involve in the transfer. Crystal Palace were able to get some money for him, instead of him going on a free in the summer,  Manchester City got the player they needed so bad and Marc Guehi got the move to a big team that really suit his status.

This deal is a good step in the right direction for both Marc Guehi and for Manchester City. It could be Pep Guardiola is trying to renew his squad and at such it is expected that most of the positions in the team that requires a change or a backup are been attended to,

these changes are not for this present season but am pretty sure that within a short period of time, the club will begin reaping the dividends of this squad that the manager is putting together.

Nwaneri decides to join Olympique Marseille. He leaves as a loan only with no agreement to buy or something else. It's good for him. He's lacking minutes at Arsenal, though staying at Arsenal could also give him more exp by watching his senior. However, he still needs top flight minutes by regularly playing under the top coach.
His transfer is also letting him to leave from how big pressures received by him. It's to good to pass. He gets a new place to improve.

However, i think the decision to loan him was a bit too late. They should do it to him during the summer transfer season. Nevertheless, hope it works out for him. He deserves more minutes to be even more matured.

All media reports and negotiations are looking positive for the 19 years old star who is missing playing minutes, here at Emirates and deserve something more which could be surely helpful for him and his confidence. Ethan Nwaneri is currently under radar of Marseille who are looking for knockout spot in Champions league and title in French Ligue1.

He was just 8 when joined Arsenal now after 10 years. It's going to be good for his skills and performance even still he is one of the highly rated for Gunners, but mostly pundits are feeling like this move will help him for having improvement and gaining confidence, most chances he will be in Marseille till end of this season.

Previous salary of Vinicius Jr up to 20 million euro with Real Madrid and actually he want increasing up his salary new contract extend but still get stuck negotiation between management. If leave Madrid for any club interested to sign him must paying above 20 million euro per season for Vinicius Jr salary and its really difficult for the top Europe club, Bayern Munich seems not really interested to sign him if ask salary up to 30 million euro and the same with Chelsea or several top Europe club.

From what I understand about Vinicius' contract situation, he wants his new salary to match up with Mbappe's salary, and I don't think Real Madrid will do that based on the fact that his performance has declined. If he does not take the offer on the table, he will be sold out, and the destination is likely Saudi Arabia because I doubt if interested clubs like Chelsea or Bayern will want to offer him such a contract.

If I were Real Madrid, I would never sign him to a new contract. Let him go wherever he wants. This team can't handle the egos of Mbappe and Vinicius. They do more harm than good to the team. The fans noticed this and reacted negatively in the last match. If he wants to stay at Real Madrid, he needs to make sacrifices. The management will not pay Vinicius the same salary as Mbappe.

I have actually heard it like Roma decided to terminate Leon Bailey's loan deal. But okay my source could be wrong. It wouldn't be surprising if it was that way because he got injured.

This is the main reason why he is recalled obviously. He had a really decent time period in his career earlier at Leverkusen and Aston Villa. But his performance dropped later on and now injuries will bring his career to a worse point.

[sana54210]

And before Mbappe joined Real Madrid, Vinicius did not have the kind of problems he has now, because Vinicius felt that he was important for the team, he felt that he was one of the key forwards, he was constantly scoring, and he had no direct competitor like Mbappe, who now earns more than Vinicius. The main conflicts with the management are now due to the fact, that they do not want to raise Vinicius’s salary to the level of Mbappe. And it is obvious that Vinicius considers himself no worse than Mbappe.

The reality is that Mbappe is getting paid a lot more, and he is scoring a lot more as well, Vini used to be star of this club but he is not now. He still wants to be paid like a star, he wants to get equal pay like Mbappe, but since he is not providing the stats, the team doesn't offer that to him.

So there are two ways this could go, either Vini will accept getting paid less than Mbappe because that is what he deserves, or they are going to just simply sell him to another club. I get that it is going to be hard to sell him, after all we are talking about something that will take a while but that doesn't mean that we are going to see him do a different job, it is going to be pretty much the same in any team he goes to.

Real's players see themselves as bigger than the club, and that's a huge problem. If I were in the management, I would send a message and sell Vinicius and Mbappe because no player should feel himself bigger than one of the biggest clubs in the world. Other legends have played there before and they weren't nearly as arrogant as today's stars. They're all so outrageously self-obsessed.

I've seen a lot of rumors, like the one about Haaland, like the one about them bringing in Klopp This is exciting, but I've seen them on social media, and there are always a lot of people making these kinds of announcements to gain followers, among other things But one thing is for sure Vini's place is in danger, I don't know if he can withstand the pressure, and I know Arbeloa wants him there The situation at Real Madrid is difficult , but the problem is definitely the players.

Real Madrid fans have started to react negatively towards him, but after a few good matches, they will likely continue to love him as before. Vinicius has underperformed not only this year but also last year. Naturally, the fans are criticizing him now. His position seems precarious. He has the potential to reach higher levels, but his mind seems elsewhere. He needs to overcome his ego before achieving success. If he overcomes his ego and plays for the team, he can be successful at Real Madrid for many years.

This is the main reason why he is recalled obviously. He had a really decent time period in his career earlier at Leverkusen and Aston Villa. But his performance dropped later on and now injuries will bring his career to a worse point.

Uni Emery need all the players he needs in place because the league is getting out of hand for him, his team has made a great move from their poor start of the season to being one of the best teams in almost two months in the premier league winning eleven consecutive games including their match against Arsenal; now that the players are looking tired he needs to restructure the team technically and I think that’s what he is doing because he is an experience coach. Therefore, Leaon Bailey will be of good use for the team attacking wise, he can play in place of Ole Watkins or play together for a better result which I think will help the team really well in their remaining premier league games.

I think Bailey will play a very important role in Unai Emery's rotation system. That's why canceling his loan agreement makes sense to me. The Jamaican player could be a good backup for Aston Villa in the Premier League. With this move, Aston Villa is actually showing everyone that they want to achieve even greater success. Emery wants to build a squad capable of winning the championship. Of course, this seems a bit difficult, but he is trying to create a new team.

[GbitG]

That's all because now Madrid fans are turning their attention to Mbappe so Vinicius feels jealous that his popularity has decreased in the eyes of fans including Mbappe's high salary. As you said, before Mbappe came, at least Vinicius was always the center of attention, especially after Benzema left. So it makes perfect sense why Vinicius' attitude has become uncontrollable, his ethics are getting worse, performance is declining and he is more hated by his own fans.

If not for that reason what else?

Categorically, Vinicius Junior has very bad tempo. All the time he just do some awful behavior, whether in a field or with a fans. In both side he has very bad status and that's why many people hate him. While on the other hand his performance level were slightly in down trend like day day his performance is dropping. So I think keeping a player like him who have bad tempo with poor performance is absolutely poor decision and also now he is demanding a similar salary to Killyan Mbappe....

Killyan Mbappe is most extraordinary player in team sheet his performance level is on sky level and no one have the right to demand similar salary to him and if if someone is demanding then probably he should need to do 10/10 performance at every match.

[Amphenomenon]

That only leaves Saudi Arabia. Does he want to go there at 25?

Vinicius might have to take a pay cut in the end because even in Europe the team that can offer him such amount he is looking for are doing well with the player they have in his position and Chelsea is the least of such team since we are not giving high wages to player which has affected the class of players we can go for.

I don't even see Vinicius leaving Europe anytime soon, since he is not just concerned about the salary but also winning the Ballon D'or and we saw how disappointed he was when he was denied some season back. I think this will also be another reason he might leave Real Madrid, after all, it is obvious Mbappe is the forerunner of this in Real Madrid since he arrived and to be honest we all can say he deserve it.

Aston Villa has a busy schedule, so they need much better squad depth. Bailey's presence will make it easier for the manager to rotate players when needed, giving the team options when rotating. Winning the championship is indeed a bit difficult because other teams may be much better than Aston Villa, but with the quality they currently have, at least competing for a top-place finish is much more reasonable. Aston Villa does need a capable squad to win the championship, so they need to bring in several other players.

Their chances of winning the Premier League are actually very low because there's the reality of Arsenal. Yes, Aston Villa played their best against them, but in the Premier League you need to play flawlessly. In their last match, they lost at home against Everton. Therefore, their chances of winning the championship have decreased day by day. However, having a larger squad and more rotational options strengthens their hand. So, they might make a few transfers to at least be able to qualify for the Champions League next year and potentially win the Europa League.

Snip.

Arsenal are still Aston Villa strongest rivals for the Premier League trophy, but they are not without a chance, their performance so far has been very consistent, the victory in the last game against Everton made them equal Man City points and are 7 points behind Arsenal. A busy schedule requires coaches to pay more attention to player fitness to maintain consistent team performance. Team depth needs to be increased to expand the coach's reach in rotating several positions. Their impressive form has made Aston Villa a favorite in the Europa League. I think they should take advantage of the January transfer window to strengthen their squad to maintain their chances of winning a trophy at the end of the season.

Unai Emery seems to be struggling to rotate players, which is making Aston Villa's players tired. That's clear to see. Indeed, a team must have equal squad depth so the coach can make many choices to maintain team stability. The steps taken now are quite appropriate, in fact, I think they should do more.

If Aston Villa must stay competitive in all competitions, they must rotate the team in other to keep the players fresh, but before doing that Unai emery need to understand that team depth is very important as you have rightfully said, so calling back Bailey from his loan that is not making any sense seems like a logical decision taken, which I am in full support of.
I believe that Unai emery knows that fatigue is one thing that can easily kills their title dream, and also make them not to give their best in most games due to tiredness, so they needs to make some acquisition and add to this returning Bailey because the  importance of depth in a team is very significant.

Vinicious Junior to Al Nassr would be so funny to see. I am not sure if they can keep both Ronaldo and Vini together, that would be pretty unlikely and they can't probably afford to pay them both that much.

As far as I know Ronaldo has only six months left at his contract, maybe there is extension that I am not aware but all I know that he signed a guaranteed one year, the other year may not be done at all. So if they do get rid of him and get Vini instead, they could be so much better and win some games.

The new real madrid coach is a lot more friendlier to vini jr so I can see him staying in real madrid now. He said vini needs to be happy to play very well and make real madrid a great team again

Alvaro Arbeloa: "Vini Jr was a LEADER in Albacete.

He did everything, he tried his hardest, he tried to lead the team and put so much effort in.

I thanked him for that, and I want to say again that's the Vini I want."

Vini is hugging Alvaro Arbeloa and everything, we could not see this with Xabi before
