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...
Ian MacKenzie15so 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.
ivostasscalf.bsky.social10Arsenal are preparing an offer for £20 million
Georgia Metal Dad9Now we know why he got the plastic surgery. He’s ready to join Handsome FC.
VBL-Commish4Something tells me Mourinho is at Madrid for a few reasons... one of which is Vini Jr.
yuth00.bsky.social3Intermediaries have indicated that Arsenal would be willing to pay around 65 million to secure his services. No club-to-club contact yet but more intermediary talks and posts expected for the next few weeks.
Ray Douglas2But he'd surely blow up Arsenal's wage structure?
YankeeGunner67how big is this? I got Clive to pod on a saturday
Laurie Laker5This 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.
Doc MUFC2Not gonna lie...this would piss me off.
David Blye2Inject it into my veins!
iainham iainspur2Praying this happens and his ACL immediately explodes
Soccer_Rabbi, Mark Asher Goodman2Feels to me like a ‘buying high’ type move. The kind of moves that have gotten Manchester United into trouble for the past decade. Arsenal have always developed stars, or turned stars (Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp) into superstars. But hey. It ain’t my money.
🚨 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...
aaronfc.bsky.social14Yeah, that's one of the few players that can take champions to another level. Would validate alot of our decision making this summer
mudow.bsky.social10Not 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.
MattSaysHello5Not sure about this. If we bring Vini in where will Reiss-Nelson play?
Taylor Sluggish2Great news for Tzolis 😵💫
Mark2Wonder if the fallout after the Madrid Benfica game last season has something to do with it...
Mighty Mork1Like I'd love to dream but I won't hold my breath on this one. Be crazy if it happened though 😳
arseblog158🫨 Now that would be quite something if they can pull it off.
Adam Rae Voge50Apologies but I’m gonna need a few hours to research this guy, not very familiar
Giantgooner29Honestly, 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
Paul McNamara18I am visiting from the future and I can tell you now that Arsenal do not sign him.
Daley AF(C)7I have nothing intelligent to add to this apart from the fact that even by Brazilian footballer standards Vinícius José Paixão de Oliveira Júnior is a spectacular full name. Get it done Berta.
M4Now that’s what I call a Bomba.
Vincent Lungaro3Trying to remain calm. Trying to remain calm.
Nathan Phillips3You want Rogers? Fine. We'll raise you a Vini Jr in a league-winning side.
M3Now that’s what I call a Bomba.
Timo Sahlsten2Well well well… let’s see.
🚨🔴⚪️ 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. 🎥
Jeremy Johnson3Don’t worry, Chelsea will come in with a bid of 100M on a 6-year contract.
Les2Is any of this stuff legal, I doubt it!
Jonathan JE Brown2Quit your pot stirring. Let the big boys with real jobs handle it
Andy Kelly39Has anyone asked the Newcastle fans if today is a suitable day for Arsenal to put in a bid for Guimarães?
Kev Lawson34If the bid doesn't start with a 9 (& Bruno doesn't kick off), he'll be going nowhere. #NUFC
Steve Jackson25I 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
Kev Lawson19IMHO, #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.
Sy12I'm old enough to remember when this wasn't allowed until permission was granted after a fee was agreed... 🤷♂️ #nufc
Billy Bell12Fuck off. 'agreed personal terms and official bid to follow'. I remember when that was called tapping up and clubs were fined for it.
Andy6I 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.
Scott Daley3If 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
Jeff Livingstone2I wish Cloughie was still alive. Jack too.
Josh2“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...
Michael Baumann3If there's such a thing as a hometown discount, maybe there's also such a thing as a "higher probability your manager backs you when you suffer racial abuse" discount
captain wow3If you’re going to smash your wage structure he’s probably one of 3 players on the planet you do it for
ms2Yeah logically there's just no way he leaves for any club other than City or PSG. It seems impossible. I'm guessing he renews.
Simon Harrington1Strong 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….
George Pearkes1My 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.
