⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Sammye3]

I don't know why you guys keep stressing yourselves about this Real Madrid, Arsenal and Vinicius Junior transfer saga, the one thing I know about this deal is at the end of the day you will hear that Vinicius junior is going nowhere, and before you know it, it might be too late for Arsenal to look for someone like him, so I can only advise them to let go off this deal, because it can never happen, first Vinicius can never leave Real Madrid for Arsenal, the earlier they realize this the better for them all, they should use this time and that money to look for someone else.

This is the exact thought that I had in mind all along. It's just so funny how many fans could imagine that Vinicius would leave Real Madrid for Arsenal at this peak of his career, does it sound like progress or "back-gress", lol. It's an impossible deal that would never come at this point but Arsenal are still forced to believe that further changes in his decision is still possible.

There are other suitable players out there right now that could play the role of Vinicius in Arsenal, and its best to start earlier to look for such talent than waste time on sealing an impossible deal.

At the moment there is still no official confirmation even after Fabrizio announced the player's done deal there is controversy in it but by looking at the existing situation I think sooner or later this will be confirmed although for now Madrid and Leipzig have not yet responded to this.

what do you mean there's no official confirmation at the moment? I thought this was already a done deal??

Until now there has been no confirmation from Madrid either on social media or statements that are always done like for some other players who come, even looking at the transfermarkt


there is still no Yan Diomande name in it so my assumption is maybe this time Madrid/Leipzig delay or indeed Fabrizio made a mistake like the previous season about some transfers.

I just checked through to confirm and that's true. They said they're currently on hold for some legal disagreements, rights whatsoever. The fans carried the information like it was already a done deal, but you just can't swoop in and overtake another team on the verge of having talks about the same player. Yan himself doesn't want to go to Madrid, instead he prefers PSG. I don't understand how the deal swung the other way so fast.

But with the credibility that Fabrizio has always maintained until now, I feel that Madrid are still postponing official confirmation for Yan Diomande because they see polemics from some people who are called experts now although there is no confirmation but most likely Yan Diomande will wear the Madrid Jersey next season.

Fabrizio is credible, but I have a strong feeling that Yan won't sign for Madrid.

Apparently the contract renewal situation for Vinicius Jr. isn't looking great!
There will be a meeting with José Mourinho to discuss the boy's future and if a mutual agreement is not reached, Vinicius will most likely leave this summer. Arsenal is waiting to see how the situation unfolds.

Forget about Vinicius leaving this summer. It is not going to be possible. You need see how Vinicus was smilling in the training camp, I dont think moving to Arseal will be possible after he passed medical today and resumed training today being Monday of Aguust.

Any disagreement left with the player and the club will be solved within this week. Though it is not yet certain, I think he will remain at Real Madrid.

You don't expect him to be unhappy with the club because they have no issues going on between him and the management they are just trying to agree on a certain amount that he's demanding, with his movement to Arsenal, we are just waiting to hear the latest news and if it fails to happen this time then we should expect him to stay in Real Madrid until another 5 years. We hope that Vinicious Junior joins Arsenal because the team will be dangerous having him start for them.

I saw this on X and this statement has truth written on it. I know many would disagree but is a bitter pill to swallow. Let's take it back to when PSG had Messi and Neymar, these guys were the biggest problem Mbappe had to handle and he couldn't dominate with them in the mix especially Messi, the 3 players were the trinity of the club but Mbappe wanted to be the only one on the spotlight...so let's talk about it.

You both are making it sound as if Vinicius Junior is the first player to leave Real Madrid for Arsenal. For the record, about three players(Mesut Ozil, Jose Antonio Reyes, Davor Suker) have left Real Madrid for Arsenal.

If the deal happened, Vinicius should be the 4th player to leave Real Madrid for Arsenal at the peak of their career. However, if Arsenal breaks the bank to sign Vinicius Junior, that would be a big plus for them. If the deal didn't come through, that wouldn't make Arsenal lose their stronghold of a formidable squad to contest for the Premier League trophy and the Champions League trophy. So let's have a chill pill for Vinicius signing for Arsenal or not

I think it’s possible, on one hand it’s good to have competition within the team, with players wanting to show their best to secure a spot. On the other hand, Vinícius and Mbappé are guaranteed starters, so the competition between them isn't exactly direct. I don't think either of them is trying to outdo the other in terms of dominance on the pitch, they play different positions and need to work together. The real rivalry has centered on matters off the pitch specifically, Vinícius wanting a salary equal to Mbappé’s, but I don't think he’ll succeed in dictating terms to Real Madrid.

That's human nature: selfishness. Every player wants to get the spotlight or wants to be the face of the club. But this is just a rumour since we have not read or heard from the accused. Maybe the poster should have added evidence to prove it. I share your thoughts that too many stars in PSG affected their performance. Since many of these stars left, the French side have improved and won major trophies. I am also in the school of thought that believes that either Mbappe or Vinicius would have to leave for Real Madrid to start winning European trophies. Both of them shouldn't be in one team due to their personal ambitions.

[changaa]

..I don't know what they're doing now in the Transfer Window.

I think the most complicated thing for Liverpool this year is finding a replacement for Momo Salah. He is a formidable player and it is difficult to find players with similar characteristics. Barcola is very strong, but he plays on the left wing, so unless they want to move him to the right, i also doubt that he can be his replacement.

[Adbitco]

Fabrizio posted and confirmed this around last week which means, it's already a sealed deal, or so we thought. The question is, did Fabrizio get it all wrong by announcing this because as of today there's no deal between Real Madrid and Leipzig concerning Diomande. Infact the player is still very much in the market because there are links with him joining Arsenal or PSG according to rumours. Fabrizio actually got this all wrong because his still with Leipzig and not Real Madrid. Personally, when I saw this, I was disappointed at Real Madrid for paying such outrageous amount when they needed such amount of money to invest in other positions in the team.

Diomande’s transfer to Real Madrid isn’t official yet, but last night I heard that they’re practically finalising the details. This mainly means two things: firstly, that Paris Saint Germain have wasted time and, in the end, the Madrid side have come out on top. Secondly, that between La Liga and Ligue 1, competitive players prefer the Spanish league. I would also add a third point: Diomande is a direct replacement for Vinícius Júnior, so it’s likely that the Brazilian will leave Madrid at this stage.

Ok, if you say so, only a matter of time before we will know the obvious. I don't think a team going for a player is a waste of time, teams go for players all the time, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't that doesn't mean they wasted their time though. If you think his the direct replacement for Vini, I will still not argue because there are lots of things going on that we are not fully aware and you still won't be wrong for saying so, Vini has refused to sign and Real Madrid has also refused to raise his wage, so technically, his chances of leaving is higher than him staying.

[Ryu_Ar1]

I see there's some discussion on X about Luis Diaz, claiming he's received a tempting offer from Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, where his salary will be several times higher than what he earns at Bayern, and he won't pay any taxes on it. At Bayern, he earns €14 million and will pay around €6 million in taxes. I'm not sure how true this is, but if it is, it's a very large sum of money.

With the current conditions where the fans still make him a favorite player and he is still competitive to be at Bayern because of his position that is very comfortable at the moment? I think it is too much because Diaz will not go even in some articles Bayern already said Diaz is not for sale.

This proves that at the moment Diaz still remains a priority to continue to be at Bayern for at least the next few seasons.
At the moment when talking about age he is also still young enough to go to the SPL although there will be money pouring in which is always an attraction but I don't feel that Diaz will make this a focus when his current career is still very good at Bayern and the National Team.

It's a truth most of people can't accept but it's 100% truth. The whole darma in Madrid dressing room start from Mbappe and everyone criticized Mbappe and genuinely Mbappe is the victim. Vini spend good time in Madrid and they should try something new in has career so permeir league is the best option for him. But the problem is they can't show the 15 ucl badge to Manchester united fam Huh. But the whole darma can depend on mourhino if they want vini in the squad for next season then Vini can sign contract. But technically it's not gonna happen because they sign yan Diomande and madrid agree with term and conditions. In the term contract they want to be the first choice so technically they sign tan Diomande to replace vini position.

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?

Okey if you need one player who has move from Laliga to Premier league and failed to perform as expected I will list it to you, there are several players who didn't play well after they got in the Premier league from Laliga.

Angel Di Maria came to Manchester United from Real Madrid with high expectations but never did very well, he was one of the best wengers in the Spanish league then before joining Manchester United but only ended one season in the Premier league because the team didn't get what they expected, i can still list more if you want.

Fabrizio is credible, but I have a strong feeling that Yan won't sign for Madrid.

I was surprised by this, because there had already been an agreement between the two parties regarding this matter. RB Leipzig had accepted Real Madrid’s offer of 100 million euros for this player.

However, after looking into it, I found that an agreement between the two clubs had indeed been reached. It just seems there’s a dispute or conflict between Diomande’s former agent and his new agent. And until this issue is resolved, Real Madrid certainly won’t make an official announcement.

Apparently, the dispute is between the player’s new agency, Roc Nation, and Max Gradel, who represents the player’s former agency. And, well, based on FIFA regulations, it seems Diomande’s registration will have to be postponed, perhaps until the conflict is resolved.

If i were in Vinicius Junior, i wouldn't leave, because you play in the most important club of all. You have an important contract on a financial level and above all you have been playing for this club for eight years now. You are almost a flag. And leaving now would take all that away from you. So i wouldn't even consider leaving. We'll see what he chooses to do.

And you did not see the post as a statement just to make Mbape look like a bad person, i don’t know why some people don’t hate some players so much, did Mbape stop Vinicius from playing for Real Madrid? All these post started because of Vini new contract that has not been signed yet and because Vini is demanding the same amount of salary given Mbape. I don’t know maybe some people understand football because if they do they will not put a blame on any player just because of another player is not having a good performance.

Many people blamed Mbape for Real Madrid performance last season and also criticised him that he was the problem of PSG and that is why PSG won two Champions League when he left the club, Mbape score 80 percent of goals that was scored for Real Madrid in last two seasons so why people keep blaming him, he was a striker and did not stop from scoring goals, what i can say is that people should stop creating agenda for what they know nothing about.

[Jegileman]

This is the exact thought that I had in mind all along. It's just so funny how many fans could imagine that Vinicius would leave Real Madrid for Arsenal at this peak of his career, does it sound like progress or "back-gress", lol. It's an impossible deal that would never come at this point but Arsenal are still forced to believe that further changes in his decision is still possible.

There are other suitable players out there right now that could play the role of Vinicius in Arsenal, and its best to start earlier to look for such talent than waste time on sealing an impossible deal.

They can still try and there is nothing impossible today. If Vinicius Junior is interested to join them, I doubt if he’ll be held back at Real Madrid to not move there. He is at the peak of his career doesn’t mean that moving to Arsenal he’ll no more be at that peak. Who knows maybe the topmost peak he has been wanting to be can only be achieved when he joins Arsenal. I don’t think this is a bad idea, but until we hear from Vini himself since he’s back to Madrid now to decide his future in the coming weeks.

You don't expect him to be unhappy with the club because they have no issues going on between him and the management they are just trying to agree on a certain amount that he's demanding, with his movement to Arsenal, we are just waiting to hear the latest news and if it fails to happen this time then we should expect him to stay in Real Madrid until another 5 years. We hope that Vinicious Junior joins Arsenal because the team will be dangerous having him start for them.

Arsenal frontline is not bad and having Vinicius Junior in that their attack will make them to be dangerous and more unstoppable for the title race. They have a good squad and I think with or without Vinicius junior, they’re still going to prevail and win at least a trophy next season. I am also eager to hear the outcome of this bid for Vinicius Junior in the coming days.

Sometimes disappointments can overshadow everything. After Mbappé joined the team, Vinicius must no longer feel as special as before. I think the Brazilian player feels a sense of belonging to Real Madrid, having played there for many years. In such a situation, leaving the team wouldn't be easy. Therefore, although Arsenal's offer is appealing, there's also an emotional aspect to it. Perhaps he really wants to continue his career with Real Madrid and can resolve this later. I don't know how he'll plan his career, but leaving Real Madrid is never easy for any footballer.

The problem is that Vinicius himself wants to be a leader of the team and also the poster boy of Real Madrid, before Mbappe came to o Real Madrid the head or poster boy of the team was Vinicius and this was like that before, I think this is Mbappe vs Vinicius fight and the Brazilian actually wants almost something equal like the Mbappe and that’s the major reason why he is seriously looking for contract signing. At Arsenal I think the Vinicius will be their talismans and that’s why he looks like what he wants

If he wants to leave for arsenal then let him go, for now, the only problem is that Real Madrid are not looking likely to get him the proposed contract that he is asking for. If Florentino Perez wakes up tomorrow and decides to give him that contract, I will be certain he is not going to leave Real Madrid.

Real Madrid is the biggest club in the world, and Vini will definitely think twice before leaving, that's if he is even thinking about it, all these scandals about Vini and Mbappe fighting to be number is all because a good coach haven't really straightened up the players and their egos and Mourinho is the perfect man for the job.

If he goes to Arsenal, he'll probably get the highest salary because Arsenal can currently pay very high prices for a good striker/winger. Arteta especially wanted a player of Vinicius's quality. So I think he would be a good fit for Arsenal's squad. The only problem is his high transfer fee and the uncertainty about whether he will stay at Real Madrid. All he wants is a contract because the Brazilian player Vinicius is from Real Madrid. Perhaps Real Madrid can improve their contract offer. In that case, the possibility of this transfer disappears.
