⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Barikui1]

I don't think Arsenal really want to sign Guimaraes, even if they want to, it's just to stockpile their squad so Manchester United won't get him. I don't really think Guimaraes is for sale, because Newcastle already sold two of their best players, so I don't think they will easily let Guimaraes go for such amount (€70m).

Guimaraes has been on arsenal radar all summer and why he is even considered is that martin odegard might leave the club, and even though he doesn't leave the club, they need a lot of strength in depth, so their is a possibility that arsenal can get him if they can matches Newcastle United valuation of the player.

Newcastle are known as a selling club, so they are going to sell even more of their players if the right offer comes in for any of their player, but the big question is, will arsenal be willing to matches the valuation of the player?
That's what I doubt because spending so much on a 28 years old midfielder that doesn't guarantees a lot of goals returns doesn't makes any sense.

And HERE WE GO It national team are going to work with Pirlo as their head coach, let's see the transformation.

The reason for this unnecessary hate about Piro has literally left me stunned. After much links and day dreaming of bringing in Josep Pep Guardiola, they finally settled for one of the Italians who won them the 2006 world cup as a player. Will he be one of the next players to both win the world cup as a player and a manager? Well, he is not an upgrade to  Pep Guardiola but they will have to make sure that a proper change is carried out from within.
Enough said already and I wish him all the best ahead. After 12 years without qualifying for the World Cup, they're hopeful they could make it happen come 2030. More pressure is mounting on Thomas Tuchel who needs to give the English fans a win.

I don’t feel he is being hated by anyone, people are just trying to give their opinions on the appointment, and I think fans were expecting the Italian Football Association to appoint someone with more experience on coaching and managing a team, Pirlo doesn’t have much experience as a manager to be given such a valuable coaching role to build and revive the National Team, personally I was expecting a more experienced Coach.

This appointment just feels like the same appointment of Gatuso, who was sacked after he failed to take the Italian National Team to the World Cup, I really don’t know what their project is all about and the style of football to play, the Italian National Team needs to start building from the grassroots, to discover talented players.

I don't think that Arsenal will succeed to sign Vinicius Jr because Real Madrid's president Perez said he wants to keep both Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr in the team, except things changed upon the arrival of Jose Mourinho which mean that if Perez must change his mind in letting Vinicius go then i have no doubt that the decision might be influenced by Jose Mourinho...

According to reports, there will be a meeting between Vinicius and Real Madrid concerning the future of Vinicius with the club. A move to Arsenal or any other top European club will be determined if an agreement is not met by Monday.

Vinicius wants a salary rise, but Madrid thinks it is not yet time. The question is, can Arsenal pay Vinicius up to 500k per week? Definitely, Arsenal is capable, but in the meantime, Arsenal has paused this deal until tomorrow.

This news of Arsenal's interest on the Brazilian international, if it happens it will be one of the shocking moves of the summer because no one saw this coming. I won't be surprised if Arsenal completes the deal because it all goes down to getting the interest of Vinicious Junior on personal terms. However, José Morinho is not willing to let the player go easily and could be the hurdle the transfer deal will face. Since the major challenge is salary wage related, there could be an upward review by the real Madrid but not granting him a 500k wage. Arsenal is very focused on winning the champions League this season after their consecutive disappointing ends to PSG. If this deal collapse, Diomande, and Bacola's deal will be more realistic than Alvarez who Atletico Madrid is not even willing to let go this season.

If the salary gets agreed upon, I feel the Brazilian will be willing to jump ship. Vini isnt happy at Madrid and it's being a while I saw him perform at Madrid the way he did at the just concluded WC so a change of scenery will do him good.
The problem I have with Arsenal is that they tend to always "be in talks" until a more serious club will snatch their interest from them but I'm hoping that for the case of Vini Jr, something positive comes out.

Currently Vini Jr has lost all the attention he usually receives from players and fans, and a player of Vini Jr level likes a place that he is always dominating and be the leading player.

He is a person that care all about having recognition and attention on and off the pitch. He knows he cannot be the key man in Real Madrid because of the presence of Mbappe, that is why I think that he will be so eager to go to another club that will give him to opportunity to shine and be more noticed. Even if nothing positive commot from this his transfer to Arsenal he will try making it work with other club that wants him.

Not many club will publicly show there interest in a player, but I know that secretly there will be other club that want to have him with them. And if this Arsenal deal doesn't work out, this club will now come to the limelight.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Unexpected thing from Arsenal if they're approving the move for Vini. It's such a huge upgrade after they sold Trossard to Besiktas. We know how good Vini with his endurance and dribbling. Having him will give ease to their job when they fight a low block-team next season. The problem is that whether Vini is keen to go to London. I know he's not yet reached

new deal with Madrid, so this loophole can be explored by them to sign him. Nevertheless, i believe Arsenal may be breaking a record transfer if they're buying him from Madrid, though he has only one year contract left.

So we can start to guess how much bid they will send to Real Madrid for him? 100M?150? or beyond than it?

I never saw this coming, this is something big for Arsenal and if they get hold of this player then the Gunners are definitely coming for all (UCL, EPL title, FA Cup and Carabao Cup) and other clubs should be ready for the pressure Arsenal are coming with. Arsenal can make this deal happens because I haven't seen anywhere that the Brazilian wants to sign a new contract and Madrid won't want to lose this player as a free agent so the Gunners have a chance to get the signature of Vinicius Jr.
For the past 2 to 3 seasons now Arsenal have been aiming higher to get the good guys to make their starting 11 stronger which is a good thing but one thing is sure when it comes to this kind of deal, it will be very hard to secure such deal since the player in question is one of the best winger and Madrid being the kind of club they are will ask for something bigger to let the player go, so the question comes in, can Arsenal pay any amount Madrid ask for Vinicius Jr to join the Gunners?

[Italian Panic]

Currently Vini Jr has lost all the attention he usually receives from players and fans, and a player of Vini Jr level likes a place that he is always dominating and be the leading player.

I think it’s difficult for Vinícius Júnior to get more out of Real Madrid or find a better club than Real Madrid. He could go to the Premier League or elsewhere, but at Real Madrid you’re at the top of your game. At that point, if his goal is money, then he’d be better off going to Saudi Arabia, where they’ll give him a mountain of money; he could spend a few years there and then live the rest of his life on holiday.

If Vini Jr didn’t get what he need in Real Madrid, I think he will make is decision to leave the club to perform in another league competition. In my opinion, I think Vini Jr is a key player in Madrid, and they need to consider him and increase is salary, because what is doing in the club is always perfect. Perez just need to try and convince Vinicius to renew is contract with the club, so that he won’t go as free agent, if they didn’t do what he need in the club they can lose him if is contract expired. Because am hearing some rumors that Arsenal are really interesting to sigh Vinicius for next season. Let see if the transfer can possible, but I don’t think they can get him so easily.

I don’t think I agree why you, I don’t think any club in Europe will agree to pay Vini 500k a week for 3 or 4 years. Currently the highest paid player in Arsenal is Saka, who is paid 300k a week, Arsenal also have about 5-6 players that are paid over 200k a week, now bringing in a player that will be paid 500k a week will definitely affect their books.

Well soon an agreement will be reach between Real Madrid and Vini representatives to see how they resolve the contract issues. As for me I don’t think he is being worth what he is asking for at Real Madrid.

Vini might also be an important player in Real Madrid but he is not the face of Real Madrid currently, the better he knows that, the good for him. He is currently on 480k a week, if he truly have passion for the club the way he always to then I don’t think a 20k difference should be the reason you won’t sign a new contract. Well In the coming days we will get to see how it all ends.

I still don't think it's worth it for Vini Jr. to go to a Saudi Arabian team just to make money. He's still very young and still very good as an individual. It's better for Vini Jr. to maintain his performance and stay with a top European team, whether it's Real Madrid or another team.
Vini Jr.'s reputation has indeed dropped significantly, especially with all the news, but I think Real Madrid management is still giving Vini Jr. time to change and improve, and I'm still very optimistic about that.

I am not a Liverpool fan but i will be happy if Liverpool get the deal done and sign Barcola, Liverpool did not have a good attacker apart from M salah and since he has left the club at the end of last season they need a good winger who is very fast and know how to score goal, if we look at all top premier league teams, the only team that did not have a good attackers is Liverpool, the only good wingers they have is Gakpo, Chiesa and Ngumoha, players like Isak and Ekitike are strikers who can manage to play the wing but they are not wingers.

Liverpool should do everything possible to get the deal done because they need Barcola and if they did not get him or get any good winger next season they will suffer many defeats and if they suffer a lot of defeats they should not blame the coach, according to reports, Barcola will not sign a new contract with PSG again because Liverpool show interest and he want to leave, although signing him will not be easy because of the amount PSG will request for but i still believe that Liverpool is capable of signing Barcola.

If Liverpool is serious about signing the France international, Bradley Bacola, they will successfully seal the deal because Bacola's interest is in Premier League already and Liverpool has an upper hand in the deal. Other team that's also monitoring the player keenly is Arsenal which means that Liverpool has to be more serious with the deal. PSG values the player at around €150 to €170 million and since Arsenal is also involved, Liverpool would be more serious with the deal to avoid loosing the player. If Liverpool can make an offer of €100 million for Leipzig's Diamonde initially, then they can also up the amount to get Bradley Bacola's signature even though I personally prefer Diamonde over Bacola. Liverpool needs to make more signings to have a place in the premier League possible winners. The coach Andoni Iraola is focused on getting a trusted winger before the season starts and the management is also willing to support his demands, so this deal would possibly go through.

Vinicius from Real Madrid to Arsenal is a downgrade to his career because Arsenal is no where close to competing for major trophies like Real Madrid and would definitely not pay him a better salary. Real Madrid is more like the biggest club in the World because they have won more trophies than any other club, so this move is close to impossible with Arsenal but its still worth the try.

[*Ace*]

And HERE WE GO It national team are going to work with Pirlo as their head coach, let's see the transformation.

Congratulations to Andre Pirlo, he was finally appointed as the head coach to take the Italian national team to the next level, I hope he succeeded and make the team proud because he is a legend among the players that brought victory of the 2006 FIFA world to Italy, and his little coaching experience with other clubs as well as with Juventus can help him to make the team proud again.

I knew both Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti are not going for the job because Ancelotti is already with Brazil and he feels happy there, while Guardiola will not settle for such team that will not have the opportunity to spend money in signing players.

I don’t know if it’ll be the right choice, but I hope Andrea Pirlo can lead us back to the next World Cup.
From what I’ve read – though this is obviously just speculation at this stage – Andrea Pirlo wants to invest in very young players as attacking midfielders and wingers.
Will it be the right choice!? I don’t know! But at least he’s got character.

Andrea Pirlo's selection will contribute to creating a positive atmosphere for the national team. Such developments were anticipated as a result of Italy's recent unsuccessful performances. I'm curious to see what will change with Andrea Pirlo's arrival. Andrea Pirlo's job isn't easy because he will expect a lot from the players he selects for the national team and they will have to work hard to maximize their performance.

Some people can contribute to the success of national teams simply by being there. I think Andrea Pirlo is one of them. I don't know if this news has been confirmed, but I think it would be a good choice.

As an Italian, I hope Andrea Pirlo does a brilliant job as manager, but I’m aware he could fail just like his predecessors! So I’m not expecting Italy to be all that great, because we don’t have the top-class players everyone imagines we do; we don’t have a striker who’s truly worthy of the name.
Just one good one would be enough to take us to the World Cup

Nothing less than a hundred and fifteen million quid will be accepted for Bradley Barcola. He will not be the exact replacement to Mo Salah but he is indeed a creative and productive player in front of goal. If he can work a lot more with his brain and not just his pace. He will be a destructive player tearing EPL clubs down of he eventually swings Liverpool’s way.

I watched Andoni Iraola first press conference and Barcola was the exact name that came to my mind and how he will fill up that role perfectly.  It simply means if PSG misses out on Diomande, they’ll have their chance to get that winger they're linked with in league one.

It should be a sure move for Liverpool.

Nevertheless, i believe Arsenal may be breaking a record transfer if they're buying him from Madrid, though he has only one year contract left.

This news is nothing more than nonsense. It makes no sense for Arsenal to target Vinícius, especially with Mourinho having just arrived at Real Madrid and determined to keep his key players. Real Madrid and Vinicius have yet to reach an agreement on a new contract, but I'm confident he will stay at the club.

Yeah, this news is total nonsense. Arsenal is no longer targeting a left winger after signing Tzolis. The person who made up this story is just speculating because Vinicius hasn’t renewed his contract with Real Madrid yet. Vinicius won’t be leaving Real Madrid, at least not this season. Vinicius is Real Madrid’s most important player, and Mourinho has stated that Vinicius will be a key player in his squad. So let’s just ignore this rumor, it’s not going to happen.

[YUriy1991]

So we can start to guess how much bid they will send to Real Madrid for him? 100M?150? or beyond than it?

It would be a great idea for Arsenal to acquire a star player like Vinicius Junior, who is highly experienced playing on the left wing. Arsenal currently lacks a player with a style like Vini, who holds the ball and creates chances up front. Last season, Arsenal strength lay in midfield, with occasional goals scored by defenders. Therefore, it would be a great idea for them to bring him in.

The Premier League is currently very competitive, and the teams have prepared very well for this season. Arsenal, as the defending champions, must be able to re enter the top of the table. Therefore, I think adding a player of Vinicius Junior caliber is a great idea. Arsenal will likely spend around 120 million for him.

[shinratensei_]

As per the latest update, Yan Diomande has reached personal agreement with Real Madrid. The talk is still ongoing between his club and Madrid, and Madrid has sent €100million as its first bid, but it's instantly rejected by his club. So it's likely we will see Madrid to secure his signature for €120million.
Honestly, i was feeling surprised when i saw Madrid suddently enquiring him, but after i remember how bad their depth in RW position. It makes sense if Madrid decided to take a part in the race for his signature.

So it's likely we will see him to wear Madrid's shirt next season. Nevertheless, his burden will be even bigger than Franco who failed before as a new RW. Hopefully, he will deliver something to the club.

Before the World Cup—and even while matches were being played—reports emerged that Diomande was set to transfer to PSG.
There were even English clubs interested in him, but just as it seemed he had chosen PSG, Real Madrid finalized the deal by paying Leipzig €100 million. In my opinion, Real Madrid made a sensible transfer move. Diomande is only 19 years old and will play as a wide forward; it looks like he and Cucurella will really put the opposition's right flank under pressure.

No, the deal between Madrid and Leipzig has not yet finalized. Madrid already sent €100million as their first bid, but it was getting rejected. So they're likely increasing their new bid to be around €120million (include bonus). However, final agreement regarding his deal is not yet reached. So there is still a chance for PSG to hijack this alas PSG send more than €120million bid.
Beside that he's likely playing as RW, and he's not gonna be in the same line with Cucu who played as LB. He will be playing together with Trent.

I never thought Liverpool would go that far I mean outside England to get a replacement for Salah and they have been running around for someone to take his place, never thought it would be Barcola. It seems like PSG are having playing that will take his place that's why they are letting him go. Liverpool are going through a lot as of last season to the point that the guys they trusted to deliver them could not do anything and I hope they won't face same struggle next season, they should be more competitive than they were last season and if Barcola should join the club then he would be a good addition.
