⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[SatoPrincess]

You know how Real Madrid has been stealing transfers this season, they stole Diomande from PSG, they stole Cucurella from Barca, and it won't be a suprise if I hear in the next 24 hours that Rodri is now a Madrid player. Barca must act fast to secure Rodri, because if Madrid manage to sign Rodri, it will be very tough for Barcelona next season.

I want Rodri to play for Barca, because he already has a strong connection with the Barca players, and he will help in replacing Frenkie De Jong who is currently out of form. What I am certain of is that which ever club Rodri finally signs for, he will be very successful, because he has a strong relationship with both clubs, he is unarguably one of the best midfielders of this generation.

Rumor has it that Rodri’s preference is Barcelona, but Barcelona are not serious imo. How do you bid 38 million for a ballon d’Or and 2026 World Cup winner? It would have been shocking if Manchester City accepted that deal. I’m not a big fan of the La Liga so I don’t care if he goes to Madrid or Barcelona. My concern is how come a player like Rodri is valued at 60m when Morgan Rogers is valued at over 100 million??

Barcelona is actually not serious at all, how can they price the best defensive midfielder in the premier league for as low as 38 million, it is embarrassing seriously because other players coming from Laliga and other leagues are always very expensive, and player like Rodri from Laliga’s best team will worth nothing less than £100 million, with this disrespect, I don’t think the deal will be possible and if Barcelona keeps negotiating like they want to sign an average player, they can lose him for Madrid even though they are also not serious.

Really a low offer from Barcelona and i didnt expect that they want to pay so little,its really wierd that for this kind of player they offer so little. Rodri is an amazing player and for him this is too little and Manchester City will demand more money for him. For me he is worth at least 80 mil and that is the realistic price for him.

Florentino Perez knows exactly what he's doing, he wants maintain these players and having to extend their contract because they're the pillars of the club. At some point, Vinicius Jr looked like he was keen on leaving the club not until he decided Real Madrid worked hand in hand with his agent for them to come to an agreement.

I don't see Vinicius Jr playing for any other side because he belongs to Real Madrid and have been in the club for years. Let's not forget that Real Madrid made him to become the professional top player that he is today. I can remember it like yesterday when Real Madrid signed this Brazilian, he failed multiple times but today, he's one of the finest players.

I was happy to hear that Real Madrid managed to convince Vini Jr. to extend his contract with the club once again. as of now,.. Vini Jr. has extended his contract with Real Madrid through June 30, 2032. this six-year contract is further proof that Real Madrid truly considers him irreplaceable. Besides, I recall that Vini Jr. didn’t want to leave the club either. He simply wanted a salary adjustment, and Real Madrid granted his request.

I think people who haven’t followed this player from the beginning won’t understand how he’s developed. Vini Jr. might not have been that great at first. But after Real Madrid was coached by Santiago Solari at the time, everyone began to see this player’s true potential. We’ve gotten used to seeing Vini Jr. eventually sharing the attacking line with Benzema and Gareth Bale. So, yeah, this player ultimately deserves to be one of the club’s legends.

And now is the time for this player to really shine on Real Madrid’s attack alongside Mbappé; after all, the chemistry between these two players started to improve last season. And I think this season will be even better.

It's for starters and I expect them to increase their bidding except Real Madrid will come for them but that will be more unlikely and so they will more likely increase their bidding especially since it's currently them he wants and personal terms are no longer an issue. Sometimes first bidding is not enough to justify club interest, let's see how thibgs goes before the weekends.

Rodri should accept the deal since he decided to choose Barcelona over Real Madrid who would have offered him more pay. Barcelona will not be willing to pay more because they probably are not serious for the deal and they believe that the players wants the club more  since he doesn't want to sign for Real Madrid, if he finally agrees to move to Barcelona after accepting that fee then any other player that is signed for a bigger amount is better than him for now that's what it means. A player like Rodri should be valued for 80 to 100 million but it's unfortunate to see how much Barcelona is going for the player.

Don't tell me you are expecting Rodri to be price for $100m right. Cucurella was signed by Real Madrid as well and the agreed amount is not up to what Barcelona want to pay for Rodri, it's not about what the player has done before in his previous club but want he can do in where he is going. Rodri has done alot already in Manchester City that they should have just let him leave because he has given all that he has to that club except if they want to be greedy.

Another thing we should look is that it's Rodri that choose Barcelona, he know the Real Madrid is not possible again which is why he switched to Barcelona. So, it's like now Barcelona is the last choice where he will be going, so the price you are seeing from him make any sense but also if Barcelona are interested in him like they are saying in the news, they are going to adjust to the demands that Manchester City are asking the team so he can move there.

Barcelona transfer dealings can be annoying, they always want the cheapest deal possible. I doubt Real Madrid will want to lose Rodri to their main rival. They need a player like Rodri to hold their midfield that’s been dead since Kroos retired.

The whole situation is very funny, Rodri has been talking about joining Real Madrid for months, and now from nowhere he says he would rather play for the competition. I think Rodri really wants to play for Madrid, and is using the Barcelona rumors to pressure Perez into making a decision.

Sometimes first bidding is not enough to justify club interest, let's see how thibgs goes before the weekends.

Making a low opening bid is really just the first step in the negotiation process between the two clubs. After all, from the start, Man City has wanted Rodri’s market value to be around 60 million pounds. So Barcelona’s offer of just 38.5 million pounds is still considered quite far from the price Man City is asking for.

But actually, I think the reason Barcelona dared to make such a low offer at the start is because, reportedly, they’ve already reached a personal agreement with the player. And reportedly, Rodri also held negotiations with Real Madrid but hit a dead end. So, yeah, it seems Barcelona is in a position where they’re fairly confident they can sign Rodri.

However, Manchester City certainly won’t let Rodri go as long as Barcelona doesn’t meet the transfer fee Manchester City is asking for. I’d guess that Barcelona will eventually meet that figure, even if they have to use an installment plan to pay for the player. After all, Barcelona often does that, right?

Rodri hasn’t been as strong as he was before his injury. That’s why I understand that he isn’t worth so much. But in general, I think fewer players should be worth more then 100 Mio. Only truly exceptional talents like Haaland or Mbappe. As far as I’m concerned, Rodri hasn’t been one of those exceptions since his injury. But he should still be worth somewhere between 50 and 60 million.

[Joeboy]

How about Real Madrid that shows interest in the player since the beginning of the transfer market, are they not interested in signing the player again after Mourinho’s arrival at the club? Or it’s Rodri’s decision to give both of these team green light to come for him since he has shown some signs that the injury he has been going in the premier league is enough for him, he is trying to leave the premier league and come back to the Laliga where he was before joining Manchester City.

If Barcelona signed him, they will completely be ahead of Real Madrid defensive wise because Rodri will be being good defensive ability to Barcelona and can facilitate their attack as well because he have experience in the midfield and also have Laliga experience.

You can't blame Madrid, they tried all they could to get Rodri attention, but Rodri wasn't even interested in joining them and so he showed no greenlight till when Barcelona comes... And the way it stand now, Rodri is more likely to join his country men at Barcelona since his interest is already there... This is a huge loss for Madrid and they too know it, and that was why they tried their possible best to ensure that they don't loose Vinicius Junior to the Gunners.. I couldn't but just imagine how Madrid would be if Rodri moved in with them, I mean Madrid will be practically unstoppable, but then the tables has turned in this case Barcelona would be there unstoppable ones..Let's still see how it all unfold...

He was bang average for Barcelona, I can even believe that he is the replacement for Konate.

Well, at least they're able to solve and get the replacement Konate now what they need to do is focused on signing a defensive midfielder.

We didn't even see them negotiating for such a move and transfer. I never in my life thought they'd make such a move for Araugo.

The idea of a loan deal makes sense, if he is not hood enough as expected, he will most definitely be sent back

I know many Liverpool supporters might not really fancy him because Araujo looks more like a name they wasn’t expecting among the ranks of defenders they would want to see the club sign this season especially after the departure of Konate, and the recent injury to Joe Gomes looks like a major factor why Liverpool decided to get this deal done quickly. for me I think Araujo is a quality defender with vast of experience and abilities. I’ve watched him play at Barcelona,  he can play as a centre back and a right back, and I think he fits in the profile of players Andoni Iraola seems to be looking out for, players who can operate in different roles in defense.

The vast numbers of Liverpool fans are not happy regarding this loan deal signing of Barca defender, Araujo. They already paint him as a defender with so many errors, this is absolutely not the defender they expected Liverpool to sign and fill in the space for Ibrahim Konaté. Liverpool will just hang in there because the new start start in few weeks and fans are beginning to expect too much from them.

I would also advise that Liverpool fans should give Araujo chance to perform and represent the team to the fullest of his capacity. This is the time for Araujo to lockedin and improve his stats as a defender, his rigorousness and become agile enough to handle his oppositions.

That was quick and unexpected, even though it’s a loan deal. Barcelona seem to be in need of extra funds to sign new players. Araujo has caused them a lot of trauma. I hope he doesn’t do the same thing to Liverpool, else you can return him midway  :Dwe’ll gratefully accept him back .

Now that Araujo is temporarily gone, it only remains his twin, Ferran Torres. PSG should just sign him already lol.

Joke apart, he's a good defender, his only problem is just that he make some unreasonable stupid mistake in crucial games.
Good luck to Liverpool
Good luck to Araujo

Regardless of the team changes that Liverpool will make in this transfer window, I don't think that I'll be able to take them seriously because of the coach that they have, whom I still doubt my belief in because I see the job will be overwhelming for him when it begins considering the status of the club he is in, Liverpool, and then his inexperience at this level.

Araujo was not the best of the best players, just one of those players that somehow found themselves in Barcelona; it is a good move to Liverpool in experiencing the Premier League.

It's interesting approach how Liverpool wanna solve their CB and RB problem by signing Araujo. They may do this because he can be deployed as an RB or CB.

So it will save them multi milions instead of gambling to sign a random backline players who don't guarantee them the output.

At least, Araujo to Liverpool is just a one season loan. So it's worth with how they have to cover his 250k weekly salary whole season.

However, i have seen he has donkey moments so many times. I'd be surprised if he also does it in Liverpool too.

Ronald Araujo to Liverpool FC is a done deal already, all the signing and agreement have been already signed by the two clubs and Araujo is expected to be in England in the coming days.

Ronald Araujo can be considered a Liverpool FC player already as everything has been done, Liverpool FC also have the opportunity of a buy option for the centre defense although not mandatory.

It is a new chapter for defender as he will be able to explore his talent in the English premier league, and might have a more playing time than being at Barcelona.

It was an unexpected move but a good one at that, we all at Barcelona wish the player a very good and injury free season ahead in his new chapter of life.

[Pjcr7]

Barcelona gets the greenlight to continue talked with Rodri and sooner his announcement will be official. Rodri offered himself to Real Madrid but maybe they were not serious about signing him, now it's Barcelona that's going to get him. Talks between Barcelona, Rodri and Manchester City has been okey and a few of around €60 million has been agreed upon. Barcelona are going to get this gem to further cement their already solid team while Real Madrid still doesn't have hopes of a proper DM since Casemiro left the club. Real Madrid are the actual losers of this deal and Barcelona are the winners here, they have a player with lots of experience to top it all.

Real Madrid was never interested in Rodri from the beginning, the president of Real Madrid does not like the idea of signing the player, it was the board that decided to sign the player and Real Madrid president don’t want them to pay more than 40 million 30 years old player that has one year left in his contract. Rodri is the type of player Real Madrid needs in the midfield, but if we look at Rodri style of play, he is more suited Barcelona than Real Madrid, Real Madrid is a club that sign player if they want to the player.

Rodri has been wanted to join Real Madrid since last season, but Real Madrid never opened door for him, he knows that Real Madrid does not like him, which is why decided to go to Barcelona to play alongside Spanish teammate, Barcelona did not also need Rodri, they needed a striker, i think the reason why Barcelona wants to sign Rodri is to stop Real Madrid from signing him and Real Madrid is not serious about it because they see Rodri as an injury prone player.

You're right, the president has always gone for players his interested in not to talk of the one that offered himself to the club, if they were interested, it was going to be a smooth deal. His age was the main obstacle, Real Madrid has a policy of not prioritising players above 30, to them it's like a gamble. No wonder the club finds it difficult to keep players above 30, they don't offer more than a year contract renewal which means, player like this must be offered yearly renewal according to the club policy. I was listening to other talk about this online and it helped me to understand better regarding this.
