⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Zaguru12]

That singular act of vinicius junior jumping on the body of his coach after scoring a goal speaks volume of his relationship with the former coach. As I will always say, big clubs like Real Madrid do not actually need coaches, what they need is human managers that will be able to manage the players and make them work together for the success of the team.

You will see that from henceforth, Vini will start playing like Vini again. Who knows if the coach has secretly told him that he will build the club around him as the hit man. I will also not be disappointed if such arrangements or agreements happen. Let's be hopeful that the good old days of Vini is back.

Yes I agree that the manager must have actually had talks with Vinicius most especially with the way the fans booed them last time and him working out of the game without applauding the fans. The manager would have actually gave him is own advice and that’s why they actually show that sign of affection on the field, I also saw how Mbappe and Vinicius were actually all bromance with each other during and after the match which means they wanted to publicly tell the fans that they are together.

One thing though that I think will most likely be the problem and I have continuously said this in the past is that both players might not be able to play together for long because both are candidates for a club to build the team around and once one is favoured ahead of the other it will most definitely be an issue for the one dropped. Let’s see how Arbeloa tries to resolve this because that’s the most important task he has at the club in my opinion

[GiftedMAN]

Something I like about Real Madrid is that all the players have given Vini great support. For me, he's the best thing I've seen, Vini has improved, but it's clear that he's not a player for defending , he's a player to have in attack all the time That's perhaps why Arbeloa keeps him up front, always with Mbappé as a winger to score goals and provide assists.

Vinicious Junior is a great player even when he's not at his best you still see him trying to create chances for Mbappe to score but to chase the ball you should know that he's not that kind of a player but after seeing his performance against Monaco you can't do nothing but like his styles when he's on a super attacking run. Arbeloa shows that he truly understands Vinicious Junior he has allowed him to flow in attack while Mbappe do the finishing and it worked in the champions League match for them.

🚨🇫🇷 Jean-Philippe Mateta and his camp have informed Crystal Palace about desire to leave the club.

Following talks with Aston Villa and Juventus, Mateta hopes for January move with decision now in Palace hands.

Negotiations remain ongoing.

Crystal Palace is looking like a badly managed club right now, considering how things have been going for them right now, every player that have a chance to leave the club is asking to leave the Club, but I will not blame them because they are a small club and they’re a selling club, every team sells players, I would understand Mateta  asking to leave the club, because he has seen so many big players leave the club and he has been there playing for them, Micheal Olise left the club for Bayern Munich, Eberechi Eze left the club for Arsenal, Guehi left the club for Manchester City, what is happening now is what you get when a club doesn’t have a good plan and structure for their players, Mateta seems to be rattled by Guehi Leaving the club all of a sudden when they had agreed to Leave during the summer, and Steven Parish couldn’t keep them together, and now the manager Oliver Glasner seems to be angry with the Board and Steven Parish, everything seems to be fallen apart for them because of lack of ambition and structure in the Club, if the player has an opportunity to Leave the club he should better leave that club for a bigger club.

[Tonimez]

What's going on with crystal palace that all their top players are pushing on leaving the club. First they lost Eberechi Eze last summer, Marc Guehi just left for Manchester city and now their striker Mateta has just informed the club he wants to leave the club this January window according to sky sports. With just few days for the window to close. If he leaves the club might not have enough time to find replacement for him. This sudden decision to leave signal that there might be internal fracas within the club. Do you think the club will grant him his wish?

It is normal among players to get popular and then push for transfers. This is why football is a business. Teams are also always active in business, selling some players for money sake. So I won't blame him if he decides to leave since he has proven himself already in the team since arriving from Mainz on loan especially after his permanent deal during which he has netted 40 goals in 122 appearance. This is his period now to trying if he could secure one of the top teams just like Eze. Olise gained recognition in crystal palace and left for Bayern Munich, Eze gained recognition and left for Arsenal and now is Mateta.

Crystal palace has raised several great players in recent years right from their struggling days of Zaha from where he secured Galatasaray deal, a Turkish leading team. Mateta is only acting the unwritten script just like many of his teammates. Crystal palace has been struggling since this season and seated on the 13th place on the Epl table. If all these star players keep leaving, crystal palace may be forced back to the team they used to be.

If money wasn't the problem, Vinicius would have already signed the contract renewal with Real Madrid months ago. And yet he's still here asking for a 30% increase just because he wants to be paid as much as Mbappé, with the difference that Mbappé scores more goals in a single season than Vinicius does in 3 seasons. I also think this goes beyond money, it's about prestige and reputation for him: before he felt he was the star, now everybody knows his not the main player anymore, and his ego doesn't like that.

We're talking about a different topic @Ale88 as you can see @dezoel said that if Vinicius moves to Al Nassr, the owner will have difficulty paying the salaries of the two players Ronaldo and Vinicius then I said money or salary is not a problem for Al Nassr because the club owner has a very huge budget. Regarding Vinicius fate at Real Madrid, I think this is still gray because Madrid will not pay Vinicius more than or equal to Mbappe salary because it is clear that the players' contributions are different. I've said before that the best scenario for Vinicius is to increase his salary through a bonus scheme.

If you were talking about money coming from the Arabic club then yes, I misunderstood, I thought you were talking about Vinicius and his money, and by that I mean his salary. I agree that for Al Nassr the salary would be the last of the problems, actually if Vinicius goes to Saudi Arabia I would expect his salary to be at least 100 million euros per year, not 30 but not even 50. Of course he is not worth that money but when your funds are limitless money doesn't really matter anymore.

[Webetcoins]

Aston Villa can't rotate players because their bench and starter level gap is a lot and that means if they do rotate players then they are going to end up losing a lot of games. But if they keep playing the same players then you are right that those players will get tired and they are going to lose the same.

So the best they can do right now is lower the training and increase the recovery which would be the best for them. Think of it this way, instead of them training, they only play the matches, and then either they are at home resting, or they are back on the training ground but instead of training, they are in the recovery room getting massages or whatever. That way they can stay a bit more fresh.

In the last match, Vinicius was quite impressive and played a role in helping Real Madrid secure a promising victory in that match. I think the management needs to secure his signature this season because losing Vinicius would be very detrimental to the team. Vinicius's partnership with Mbappé was very strong in that match and I saw a good partnership. The management should make a policy regarding a contract extension for Vinicius, even though we sometimes saw his behavior and ego being quite big. Real Madrid's improved performance shows a slightly better direction and perhaps this trend needs to be maintained so that the team can fight to compete for titles, especially in La Liga and the Champions League.

This is one of the fastest way to kill a good managers efforts. Fvck!!

Selling Eze to Arsenal wasn't enough, Selling Marc Guéhi to Manchester City wasn't enough, I'm sure they'd want to make profits off his sale too. Mateta seeing these important/core players in the club leave and he'll want to do the same. Trust me when I say that the Crystal Palace management are beyond selfish but then again, football is also about making profits. A move to Juventus will be alright nevertheless, they need him. They need a solid number nine. He could be that for Juventus.

For Vinicius, at this stage of his career, Saudi Arabia doesn't seem like a realistic option in my opinion. Even with a high offer, his goal is to achieve success and always play at the highest level. As one of Real Madrid's most important players, a transfer to Saudi Arabia wouldn't be a logical move at all.

What is clear with Vinícius right now is that he wants to stay at Real Madrid. And I think he understands that Real Madrid are currently one of the strongest clubs, so there is really no point in changing to something else. At the age of 25, it also makes no sense for a talented player to move to Saudi Arabia. On the other hand Real Madrid also want Vinícius to stay with the team. Today it became known that his current salary, after all taxes, is 18 million euros per year. Real Madrid have offered him 20 million euros per year in the new contract. I think this is a great offer, but for now Vinícius has rejected it, and negotiations are continuing.

Isn't management trying to make the deal happen? Because I think one of the reasons they kicked Xabi Alonso out was to improve their relationship with Vini, so it's obvious that now they won't waste that huge sacrifice, and if they can't get Vini's signature, it's obviously a huge loss. Vini didn't look impressive at the start of the season and maybe he just doesn't work well with Xabi's strategy, but now, since Arbeloa has replaced Xabi, Vini's performance seems to be improving.

I think Vini is still very comfy at Real Madrid (especially now that Xabi Alonso is no longer there), and it may not be long before he prolongs his contract.

That way they can stay a bit more fresh.

This is a fundamental problem facing Aston Villa. When the manager tries to rotate players because of their busy match schedule, it can actually affect the results. Conversely, if this isn't done, injuries to some of their starting lineups could also cause major problems for the season. Aston Villa's current squad depth is not balanced enough, making rotations difficult for the coach. They may need to look for players to maximize their match schedule.

In the Premier League, Aston Villa has achieved a better position, currently sitting in the top three of the standings and the same is true in the Europa League. As Aston Villa seeks to compete for either title, adequate squad depth is needed to avoid hindering the player rotations. This must be considered holistically due to the tight match schedule forcing core players to play in all competitions can cause problems.

I believe Vini still wants to play in Europe if not, it's very easy for him to move over to SPL because they have enough funds to meet up with his demands. Things are working perfectly for him in Real Madrid, I don't see any reason why he would be eager to leave the club.

Vinicius wants to stay at Real Madrid, and even if he leaves, he won't move to the SPL as it would set his career back. Vinicius certainly wants to play in Europe because he has good quality, and European clubs are certainly interested in him, especially since he's only 25 years old and still has a long career ahead of him. If Vinicius moves to the SPL, his chances of being called up to the national team will be significantly reduced, and Vinicius certainly doesn't want that to happen because he really wants to play for Brazil.

A move to Saudi Arabia doesn't sound logical at all. They might offer a lot of money, but the risk of him ending his career like Neymar is very high. Especially for a 25-year-old in his prime, such a transfer would be tantamount to suicide. Besides, after he turns 30, Saudi Arabian teams would still be willing to pay exorbitant sums to sign him. Why would he take such a risk when he can still enjoy playing football?

Since Xabi Alonso departure and replacing by Alvaro Arbeloa looks Vinicius Jr most happiness right now and crucially become the man of the match when Madrid defeating AS Monaco. Faced Monaco in Champion League great moment for Vinicius by scoring one goals and made two assist.
I think easily reach agreement deal new contract negotiation because Vinicius Jr get back the regular place under Arbeloa era never get internal conflict during Alonso era, if can perform well and always get regular position I believe Vinicius Jr will accept new contract offering by management and reject interested from Saudi Pro League club. Vinicius Jr still important player for Madrid and its bigger loss if can't defend or giving him new contract extend.

Palace's long term project is just being unclear with so many core players left the club. Even Glasner has told us he's gonna leave from there. I see no reason for Mateta to stay far longer there. It's the board who destroyed the club. So i think they should grant his wish to leave. No point to keep him when he doesn't wanna play for the club anymore.

[asriloni]

The journalism these days are hilarious. I'm getting surprised to see how Palmer is being rumored to join in MUTD just because "he misses his friend". I'm not saying it's impossible, but he's gated with 8 years contract. Even if it's gonna be true, it will be a mega pay day for Chelsea, but only of MUTD is also interesting in acquiring him.

His market price is now 120m, which i think impossible for MUTD's board to pay it. What do you think?

Rumors suggest that Barcelona's Young Star who has made his first-team debut in La Liga has allegedly agreed to join PSG. He is Dro Fernandez, an 18-year-old player with a release clause of 6 million euros. PSG is a good choice, but if the reason is to get more playing time, PSG also does not guarantee that he will continue to get minutes on the field. However, from what I see in Europe, it's not just PSG; many mid-tier clubs are approaching him. Of course, they offer guarantees with more playing time. I read that Flick actually does not want him to leave, because he recognizes Dro's great potential. But ultimately, the decision is up to Dro. Will this happen?

Why did we even bring up the Scottish Premiership here? I don’t think Vinicius ever considered it as a transfer option. It’s clear that he wants to stay at Real Madrid, and right now as he needs to renew his contract, he simply wants to secure the most favorable terms for himself. That’s all that concerns him at the moment. He also said that in recent matches the fans have been booing him when things don’t go right way, but that he is ready to improve and correct his mistakes. I think this also shows that everything is aimed at him staying at Real Madrid.

It will.  Dro is unwanted talent at Barca. There are Olmo and Fermin who clearly ahead of him in the squad. Even when those players injured, Flick prefer to put non CAM player to play at CAM position instead of giving him a try. His talent is wasted there. So leaving from Barca to join in PSG is the right thing.
Flick has also banned him from the training session. He has not be dumb enough to revise his decision to stay.

Who knows he can perform elsewhere. So it reminds me the story how Vitinha was flop at Wolves, but being a generational talent after he joined PSG. So it's gonna be the same story for Dro.
