⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Adbitco]

It's not unrealistic. This guy deserves to earn as much as Mbappe because this is someone who has won trophies for the club, what has Mbappe done? It's not about making Mbappe the main man and keeping him with a huge salary, can Mbappe stand the pressure when it gets heated?
Honestly this is a very desperate move by Vini and him taking this offer will be an embarrassment and he'd regret it. Why not leave the club now that other very big clubs are looking for his signature rather than beg to stay at a club where he's not valued.

The early you realise that every club has it's structure the better for you, if you think it's unrealistic for Vini and Mbappe not to be on the same salary scale simply because his been on the team and has won trophies with the team before the arrival of Mbappe, so why are we not also having the same discussion as to why Vini earns higher than the rest of Real Madrid teammates except Mbappe despite the fact that they have been on the team and has won trophies before his arrival. Why don't you also think in that light as well since you think it's unrealistic for Mbappe to earn higher. Initially I wasn't a fan of Mbappe joining Real Madrid but his here how and you have o accept that fact, Real Madrid has a structure and they will not let down their policy just because of Vini instead they would sell him off. There were players that joined and won trophies for Real Madrid before Vini came in 2018 and he earned higher than them, did they complain about that the way Vini is currently complaining now?

[Jostern]

This is what Vinicius needs to consider if he wants to remain at Madrid. Demanding a salary and bonus package on par with Mbappé is clearly unrealistic. It would be better to simply accept the contract extension and prove his worth next season. After all, it is not as if Madrid cannot perform brilliantly without Vinicius, unless you are a die hard fan of his.

From the look of things Mbappe is better than Vini even though, we know that Vini contributions gave Real Madrid trophies. Why is Vini after receiving the same pay with Mbappe or is that what Mbappe is using to intimidate him in the club. It's gon be a big problem for Real Madrid if they don't handle this issue wisely.

Real Madrid should pay Vinicius Jr what he wants, because he has done more for the club compared to Mbappe who haven’t won anything for Real Madrid, Definitely Vini Jr is going to want more money to his paycheck, he is doing more of the job in the club than Mbappe, he deserves everything that he is asking for and Real Madrid is a club that have money, so they should try and agree a deal for him, other clubs are interested in signing Vini most especially Arsenal that I have seen him being linked to Arsenal, I’m just wondering if Arsenal can pay his wages because that would be something he should also consider as well, Real Madrid knows that Vinicius Jr deserves everything he is asking from Real Madrid.

I'm talking about Financial Fair Play. In the past we have seen teams getting excluded by international competition for debts relatively small. I've never seen that happening with an English team. And let's not forget that there are teams such as Manchester City who are still in a grey area because their are being sponsored by companies owned by the same owners, or anyway people close to them, so technically they can spend as much money as they want and simply claim that the company X gave them that money. I knew they were being investigated because that would be against the rules of course.

Uefa as a governing body are corrupt because this financial fair play rules are only meant for smaller teams. We saw how Manchester City that you spoke of broke the rules countless times without no reasonable punishment, instead they were just fined, but if it's a smaller team that broke the rules, they will be ban or kicked out of a European tournament, that entails corruption and double standard, because they are bending the rules for the bigger teams, which is not fair for the smaller teams.

Vinicius won some trophies because Real Madrid had the best team. As soon as the good players such us Kroos, Modric and Benzema, just to name a few, left the team, Vinicius has never been able to actually become the leader everybody was expecting him to be. Mbappé didn't win anything but he scores like crazy, if anyone has to choose between the Frenchman and the Brazilian, everybody would pick Mbappé.

That’s not how it works. It’s true Vini has done more for the team than Mbappe, however, Mbappe’s value to the club goes beyond what he does on the pitch, Mbappe is practically the face of modern football. He earns millions in sponsorship deals and Madrid have a stake in that as well. I don’t see Vini having as much pull in terms of revenue.

Vini seems to understand his situation, and still wants to play for the biggest club in the world. Arsenal are pushing to sign him, but he currently earns more than the highest paid player in the Arsenal squad so how possible is it that Arsenal would be able to afford his wage?

[yudi09]

Premier League football fans like Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool are so excited he will not be joining Arsenal. I understand that he will be such a huge terror to them in the Premier League at the same time make Arsenal's squad and front line effective. I really would appreciate if this move to Arsenal is finalised over a further stay with Real Madrid. But we will all be accessing the situation on ground and see if an agreement can be strucked between player and management.
I thought the arrival of Diomande means the end of Vinicius Jr with Real Madrid but it seems they want all the finest players locked in.

Sometimes players get signed into another team and become a flop and couldn't perform well as people expected, i have seen good players in the past that came to the English Premier league and couldn't play well. Vinicius Jr has been a good player in Real Madrid before the arrival of Mbappe so this makes all attention to focus on Mbappe with out regarding much on Vinicius. Arsenal is in a good state now Vinicius Jr let Real Madrid be and start a new journey with the gunners i believe he can achieve more with Arsenal and he will also help to strengthen Arsenal front side the more.

Name one player who failed after moving to the Premier League from La Liga. Odegard, who is now Arsenal’s captain, has actually played a pivotal role in Arsenal’s gameplay for several seasons up until last season.
If Vinicius were to join Arsenal, I believe he would perform even better—and it’s entirely possible he could become Arsenal’s most dangerous forward as long as Arteta gives him full confidence as a starter.

Some players who excelled in the Premier League upon moving to La Liga—in this case, to Real Madrid—ended up merely warming the bench there. I’m referring to Hazard. TAA was also disappointing in his first season at Real Madrid. The exception is Ronaldo, who performed even better during his time at the Santiago Bernabéu. And what about Gareth Bale?

Real Madrid, however, are building a team to return to winning ways once again, and this could allow both Vinicius and Mbappé to make a leap in quality.I still remember Mbappe leaving Paris Saint-Germain to win the Champions League! I still laugh now... PSG won two in a row without him!
However, Real Madrid's first friendly match did not go well at all for José Mourinho against Fiorentina, but it is only a friendly match

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

Uefa as a governing body are corrupt because this financial fair play rules are only meant for smaller teams. We saw how Manchester City that you spoke of broke the rules countless times without no reasonable punishment, instead they were just fined, but if it's a smaller team that broke the rules, they will be ban or kicked out of a European tournament, that entails corruption and double standard, because they are bending the rules for the bigger teams, which is not fair for the smaller teams.

I don't know if this has ever happened where a smaller team that violated the rules was expelled from a tournament, although I agree that sometimes it's unfair to a small number of teams regarding financial fair play rules. For example, what happened to Manchester City, but after an investigation, they were only fined or are still under investigation. Football has now become a business, so we sometimes see injustice occurring.

Small teams have difficulty escaping these rules, but when it comes to bigger teams, they can often get away with it. This seems very detrimental to smaller teams, but they can't do much because of the influence and many factors beyond their control.

[KTChampions]

You're right about this absurdity (by the way, we have to admit that Newcastle are just great, first they sell a rat for an astronomical amount of money to Liverpool, now they will get 90 million for Guimaraes although Arsenal wanted to spend 70+), but what kind of investigation (on whose behalf) can there be here? This seems to be the new reality. At first, the Saudis whipped up the market, but even after they calmed down, the Premier League continued.

I'm talking about Financial Fair Play. In the past we have seen teams getting excluded by international competition for debts relatively small. I've never seen that happening with an English team. And let's not forget that there are teams such as Manchester City who are still in a grey area because their are being sponsored by companies owned by the same owners, or anyway people close to them, so technically they can spend as much money as they want and simply claim that the company X gave them that money. I knew they were being investigated because that would be against the rules of course.

I'm not an accounting expert, but as I understand it, FFP has gradually degenerated into something that allows the rich to do whatever they want without any problems. First there was FFP, then it was transformed into the Rules of Profitability and Stability, now there is some bullshit called Sustainability and Systemic Resilience + Squad Cost Ratio in effect. I read about this and it seems to me that in order to receive a real punishment here and not a monetary fine, you have to do something extraordinary. In general, the clubs' hands are completely untied - they can spend as much as they want.

It would be better to simply accept the contract extension and prove his worth next season. After all, it is not as if Madrid cannot perform brilliantly without Vinicius, unless you are a die hard fan of his.

I don't think he'll have much to prove next season, if he accepts Real Madrid's terms now and continues playing there, the contract he extends will clearly be for several seasons. He'll have to consider other terms in a few years, so there might be no point in trying too hard. On the other hand, he could insist on leaving Real Madrid now, especially since Arsenal is interested, but then he needs to decide what's more important, more money or playing at Real Madrid.

[Cyber_warrior]

Finally it seems Arsenal will be getting Bruno Guimaraes. Newcastle have now internally agreed to let the player leave as arsenal are given green light imminent. Arsenal have been pushing for the Brazilian international since the  beginning of this summer transfer and finally it seems they will be getting him. Personal terms have already been agreed so it just club to club talk and the player will be a gunner.

He is really going to a good addition to Arsenal, putting him in that midfield with Declan Rice will really cause problems in the premier league. I love the direction Arsenal is moving, you will see that they want to win the premier league again and also go for the champions league.

[Jatiluhung]

I was a bit hesitant to say this at first. but to me, Vinícius Jr. at Real Madrid is more special than Mbappé when you look at the level of contribution each player has made to the club. Did Real Madrid get better after Mbappé joined? In fact, all these problems arose after Mbappé arrived but that’s not Mbappé’s fault. He’s still a player who’s hard to replace, because he is indeed one of the best players in the world. But the problem is that the team’s balance was disrupted when Mbappé arrived. Real Madrid has too many star players on its roster. And in my opinion, Vini Jr. certainly deserves a salary on par with Mbappé’s. If the club can’t afford that, then it should let Vini Jr. go to a club that can pay the salary he wants.

I am not going to argue whether Vinicius Junior should get the same salary as Mbappe, the club should be satisfied with the amount of salary that the players are willing to pay or leave the club to another club. As far as I know, the club does not determine the salary structure of the players based on their contribution, but rather the demand for players in the market, the performance of the players and their reputation. In that regard, Kylian Mbappe is far ahead, although Real Madrid has not yet achieved any results in taking this player into the team. I want to blame Mbappe as the main reason for this failure of Real Madrid and the loss of balance in the team, even Vinicius' performance has been affected by this player. Because of him, PSG could never form a balanced team, but how does France form a balanced team with this player? Is the problem inherent in Mbappe? Or does he create it?

I was wrong to say that Vini Jr. deserves the same salary. What I actually meant was that Vini Jr. is entitled to demand a raise, and it’s fine if he initially wanted the same salary as Mbappé. That’s just part of the negotiation process in the market. Ultimately, both sides will negotiate back and forth until they reach an agreement that’s more acceptable to both parties. And reportedly, Vini Jr. is also willing to lower his salary demands, which have indeed been a stumbling block in the process of signing his contract extension with Real Madrid.
But yeah, I’m glad you understand my point about how Real Madrid’s balance was indeed shaky, especially during Mbappé’s first season at the club. And I didn’t blame Mbappé from the start. It’s just that there was a bit of a misfit when he first arrived. But in the following season, things got a little better. We certainly remember what Real Madrid was like in the season before Mbappé arrived. At that time, Real Madrid didn’t have a standout striker. Back then, Joselu was the player taking on the role up front. And Vini Jr., Rodrygo, and Jude Bellingham really showed us that Real Madrid could remain strong even without a top-tier star striker. I was even impressed by Jude Bellingham’s performance at the time, he was quite productive in scoring goals as well.

Mbappé is an extraordinary player; as long as he receives full support and is positioned correctly, he’ll be an unstoppable goal-scoring machine. And well, that’s exactly what we see when he plays for the French national team, how all the French players trust him. Real Madrid used to be like that, too. But lately,, I feel like the teamwork isn’t as good as it used to be. I think ego might be the real issue.

If the club can’t afford that, then it should let Vini Jr. go to a club that can pay the salary he wants.

This is one of the comments that I read and I be like it seems you just start to watch ball today. If Mbape was still in France and Vinicious came and do last two seasons with them and they don't win any trophy, are you going to say Vinicious Jr. is better than Mbape? Make it make sense please. Vinicious has been with Real Madrid for long term, by next year it will make it 10 years since he joined the club and you want to compare them to each other.

The relevance of Vinicious is because he has done well for the club and don't push the last two season on Mbape, Perez has said it multiple times, his job is to score and he did that, won multiple golden booth. Vinicious did couldn't reach him in goal contributions last two season. We can't blame the team failure to any of them, the team was in lot of injuries, there is no way they would have won any league from Barcelona without injuries.

The reason I say Vini Jr. is more special at Real Madrid is precisely because he has contributed more to this team. And I’m not even saying who’s better. Because when it comes to which player is better, that’s a different matter altogether. this is simply about a player’s contribution to the team and whether he deserves to make salary demands. My assessment and yours will naturally differ, since we inevitably have different perspectives.

And it’s only natural that Mbappé scores a lot of goals because he is, after all, the main striker whose job is to score goals. Vini Jr. may not be as good as Mbappé at scoring goals. but as a left winger, he’s also active in scoring goals and even consistently provides many assists. last season, Vini Jr. also managed to score 21 goals and provided 11 assists. So, in my opinion, these two players are equally valuable.

And if you want to see in which season Real madrid scored more goals in the laliga,, whether it was the season after Mbappé joined or the season before he joined, that should answer my point.

-  Real madrid scored a total of 87 goals, In the 2023–24 season,
-  Real madrid scored a total of 78 goals, In the 2024–25 season,
-  Real madrid scored a total of 77 goals In the 2025–26 season,

That's how the system is programmed not only in football but in all aspects. Man made laws are meant to protect the rich and make the poor more vulnerable. What happened to Everton in the previous season is still fresh in our memory but Manchester city got a preferential treatment. But UEFA can not be blamed for this. This big clubs have money to drag UEFA in court. They can afford lawyers as many as possible and get their case prolonged for as long as possible. Small clubs don't have resources to waste in legal battles with this governing bodies. Besides, UEFA is being cautious with their decisions because they make more money from these big clubs.

Vinicius is certainly a very important player for Real Madrid. And his contribution shouldn't be underestimated, for a leading striker to score goals, he needs to create opportunities. Real Madrid should be assessed as a team, rather than dividing the credit among players. As for Real Madrid's goal scoring statistics by season, I don't think that tells us anything. Because Real Madrid haven't been in the best form in recent seasons, and they've had defensive issues, and all of this has affected the team and their results.

Because Real Madrid haven't been in the best form in recent seasons, and they've had defensive issues, and all of this has affected the team and their results.

The balance of the Real Madrid team has been questioned after Mbappe arrived, although the main reason for this is not Mbappe. The weakness of the defense and especially the loss of important players in the midfield have caused the Real Madrid team to lose balance. Real Madrid were unable to control the midfield due to the lack of suitable alternatives to Toni Kroos and Luka Modric. As a result, that pressure has made the defense and attack ineffective. It has especially affected their defense, in most matches they would break their defensive line and create opportunities for the opponent to score goals. Therefore, it is not possible to prove anything by the number of goals scored per season.

Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe are star players, but it is natural that Mbappe's name will be higher on this list. So I don't think there should be any competition between these two players. Let the club and those players understand the issue of the salary structure, we should not worry too much about it.

Apparently, Barcelona is interested in a Valencia player. Javi Guerra is a target for Barcelona aside from Alvarez. But the transfer moment is still waiting for the result of efforts to approach Alvarez. According to sources, Guerra is the second option because in this position De Jong often gets injured and Valencia has Javi Guerra with his official release clause increased from €40 million to €60 million. But what we understand is that Barcelona still has financial problems, can they make this transfer?

Source: https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/la-liga-club-wary-potential-173500073.html

I’m not sure Barcelona can afford to sign Javi Guerra at such a high price given that their financial situation hasn’t improved. Besides, why is Barcelona targeting a midfielder? Don’t they already have plenty of midfielders? What Barcelona really needs to target is a top striker. that’s what they desperately need. Alvarez might be hard to sign, but at the very least, Barcelona needs to look for other striker options to bring in before the transfer window closes.

Hansi Flick probably have a plan that we're not aware of. The last time I checked Barcelona, I think their major problem isn't a a midfielder, they already have players that can perfectly fit into the midfield position. They're yet to get a good replacement for Robert Lewandowski who left at the end of last season.

Since they can't get Julian Alvarez whose price tag is definitely above their budget, why not go for other talented strikers? He mustn't be a known striker to be good enough to play for Barcelona.

The way I see it, Vini deserves to be paid even more. Correct me if I'm wrong but he's about the oldest and most experienced player at the club now that Kroos, Cavarjal and Alaba are out. Vini brings creativity to the wing and it's his relentless attitude that gets Madrid goals. He's just lacking confidence and it's this lack that's making him desperate to settle for less.

Where did you keep Valverde? Valverde is a Real Madrid academy player who got promoted from Castilla to the first team and he signed in 2016 and you can see how good he performed for them last season. Vini needs more improvement if he stays at Real Madrid next season because he’s performance last season wasn’t at his best.

I don’t think he should be paid more than mbappe at this point but if he should improve his performance next season then he can ask for more money, his agent and Real Madrid would probably agree on an improved contract but I think it wouldn’t be up to what he’s asking for.

They both started playing in the summer of 2018. Okay, I should have included the Uruguayan in the list of players who are experienced but the point is, Vini Jr is the best at what he does in that left wing and even though it's unrealistic for some if he asks to be paid as much as Mbappe, he deserves it. The others may not be complaining or asking for a raise and that's up to them.
No player hasn't experienced a bad time in their career and even though last season was poor for the Brazilian, I feel that the right incentive and support will see him being his best. See how he performed at the WC should give you an insight to how Vini Jr is when he's playing with his mind.
