Arsenal exploring move for Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior
🚨 EXCL: Arsenal exploring move to sign Vinicius Junior from Real Madrid. #AFC interest early stage + clubs not yet in talks but idea approved at all levels. Much rests on contract process as no breakthrough yet & #RMFC do not want free exit @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/746...
so basically, everyone in charge at arsenal wants to sign him. that's it. that's the story. breaking news: everyone in charge at every club wants to sign him too.
Now we know why he got the plastic surgery. He’s ready to join Handsome FC.
Arsenal are preparing an offer for £20 million
Something tells me Mourinho is at Madrid for a few reasons... one of which is Vini Jr.
Key information is Kroenkes, Arteta, and the entire board are giving the idea a go ahead.
Wonder how long they’ll tyre kick on this one?
how big is this? I got Clive to pod on a saturday
Well hello “want to believe it’s true and will ignore anyone who tells me it’s not” rumour 😍
As a fan of both clubs IDK how to feel about this. I do think it would be a good move for Vini though.
This is a weird one. If there’s even a half chance, go for it. But the framing is off. I’m exploring being wealthy, owning a mansion, and never working again. Everyone at all levels in my family approves of it. Same level of actual proceeds happening as this — nada, as of now.
This could be a transformative signing for both the club and the player. Maybe the key to us winning the Champions League and Vini winning the Ballon d'Or. He gets to be the superstar in a team with incredible structure.
Vini Jr and Guimaraes would both instantly transform Arsenal into overwhelming favourites to retain the title and to win the UCL. If they miss out on either (or both) because of money, then the stupid decision to squander over £180 million last summer on three reserves looks even stupider
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Arsenal exploring deal to sign Vinicius Junior from Real Madrid 🔺 Candidate to strengthen attack if no RM renewal 🔺 #AFC interest approved at all levels 🔺 12 months remaining on RM deal w/ @davidornstein0.bsky.social for @theathleticfc.bsky.social ⬇️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/746...
Yeah, that's one of the few players that can take champions to another level. Would validate alot of our decision making this summer
Not sure we'll be able to pull it off. But this is what I'm talking about. Type of superstar signing that takes the Arsenal brand to another level, make the league shit themselves and also finally gives us a real chance of winning UCL. 117m for Morgan Rogers would do fuck all for us.
Great news for Tzolis 😵💫
Not sure about this. If we bring Vini in where will Reiss-Nelson play?
🫨 Now that would be quite something if they can pull it off.
Apologies but I’m gonna need a few hours to research this guy, not very familiar
Honestly, this makes the quiet start to the summer add up. Okay, you tilt at windmills for a 1 in 10 chance of bringing in Vini. That’s worth it when you’re trying to win the Premier League and the Champions League. Worry about the backup plans once this one falls through
I am visiting from the future and I can tell you now that Arsenal do not sign him.
Now that’s what I call a Bomba.
You want Rogers? Fine. We'll raise you a Vini Jr in a league-winning side.
Now that’s what I call a Bomba.
I liked this move before he got a new chin
Trying to remain calm. Trying to remain calm.
Getting carried away with transfer rumors is of course a fools game but I can be a fool this time, as a treat
🚨🔴⚪️ Arsenal have agreed all details of personal terms with Bruno Guimarães and new official bid will follow. #AFC to offer £70m, Newcastle expect to reject but Arsenal feel they can still get it done. Arteta, pushing: he wants Bruno. 🎥
Don’t worry, Chelsea will come in with a bid of 100M on a 6-year contract.
Is any of this stuff legal, I doubt it!
Quit your pot stirring. Let the big boys with real jobs handle it
Has anyone asked the Newcastle fans if today is a suitable day for Arsenal to put in a bid for Guimarães?
If the bid doesn't start with a 9 (& Bruno doesn't kick off), he'll be going nowhere. #NUFC
I miss tapping up rules actually being applied. Bid low, keep bidding low, get Fab to post daily in the hope of driving a wedge between club and player and make the sale inevitable. Football's gone. #NUFC
IMHO, #NUFC have more leverage here than we did with Isak. We have 2 +1 years on a deal for Bruno, even if he strops his way into a new deal with us, lots time at this stage of his career kills any chance of a big move. Only way he goes to Arsenal is the money is cracking.
I'm old enough to remember when this wasn't allowed until permission was granted after a fee was agreed... 🤷♂️ #nufc
Fuck off. 'agreed personal terms and official bid to follow'. I remember when that was called tapping up and clubs were fined for it.
I get that this is a mirror account but the headline does exactly what it intends to. It keeps a potential transfer alive, tries to drive the price down, and, worst of all, engages us all in the process. I really can’t stand the Fraudrizio’s of this world.
If this is true, he’s as bad as Isak. Pretending he loves the club and the fans only to agree personal terms with another club before they’ve even put a bid in. Shocking behaviour. I thought he was different. #NUFC
I wish Cloughie was still alive. Jack too.
“Arsenal haven’t made a bid, and if they actually do decide to, they aren’t planning on matching the selling clubs asking price. But they still feel like they can get it done”. Ah ok sound. Good for them I suppose.
I am skeptical there's a way to make the contract demands work Vini currently makes ~£27m per season, Madrid offered a new contract at ~£32m, Vini requested ~£48m I guess he could massively lower his demands or Arsenal could break the bank, but www.nytimes.com/athletic/722...
If you’re going to smash your wage structure he’s probably one of 3 players on the planet you do it for
Yeah logically there's just no way he leaves for any club other than City or PSG. It seems impossible. I'm guessing he renews.
Strong agree. This is £100m plus as well as Haaland wages. But it also sort of makes sense for Madrid to sell and you assume Arsenal know what it’ll take in wages so….
My guess is he would take a number much lower than 48 from a club other than Madrid. Still a huge number but he’s only going to get it from a few clubs and we’re one of them.
