If they really do pick Jose ( ) then I doubt Vini will re-sign with the comments made by Jose a few weeks ago about him. Can't risk losing him on a free when they can still get top dollar for him now.

I would pick Vini, but I don't think they will.

Also, keeping Vini but selling MBappe nerfs Rodrygo

They can sell Vini, keep Mbappe, and they have an elite LW to replace Vini already on the squad (who is at his lowest value right now).

The question is who can afford Vini, b/c the number of teams who can are low, and with Chelsea's financial issues, they may be out of the running.

If Arsenal fail do they sell guys to be able to afford him? Would Arteta take the risk, or would he be fired?

correct me if I am wrong, but isnt the biggest problem Vini and Mbappe both want to play LW and have the same cutting style?

and when Alonso put Mbappe in the middle he kept drifting into the same left side channels as Vini and they were right on top of each other?

Sell Vini, put Mbappe at LW and call it a day?

two weeks ago Vini’s camp floated a move to Stamford Bridge and the response from the CFC Board was lukewarm at best

CFC have a ton of young forwards in the pipeline and paying Vini could break the bank

That's something, but I think it's somewhat overblown and ego is the bigger issue. Mbappe is just being a dick, basically. Just look at Dembele's surge at PSG once Mbappe left.

I don't think Endrick is ready to play full time ST for a team like Real, unless they use Jude as a false 9

They could just pour more gas on the fire and sign Osimhen with the Vini money

Yeah right now I don't think there are many teams who could afford Vini

Man U or Saudi....don't really know who else.

Man City? Maybe I guess?

Arsenal would have to sell a lot

Liverpool would have to sell a lot

No other Spanish (excluding Barca) or Italian teams can afford him....MAYBE Juve, but I doubt it

PSG? No.

Bayern? Doubtful

You might run into a situation where you could get a decent deal on Vini with so few potential suitors, assuming Real are serious about moving him.

Realistically you're likely looking at Saudi, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool maybe United as Suitors. I can't imagine City would pull that lever with Doku coming into his own late this season.

I find it hard to believe Arteta would sign off on a move for Vini with what he asks his wingers to do defensively.

Weird situation all around.
