Football Daily · MNC: FIFA's climbdown, Vinicius to Arsenal and Newcastle's new era · 3 Aug 2026 podcast

I don't want to go that far.

Yeah, I think you've got probably two things going on, which is probably there are genuine talks going on between Arsenal and...

representatives whether they are direct intermediaries or direct representatives of Vinny and sort of getting a sense of what that package could be and having the appetite to do it but you always have that sense at the back of your head don't you of is Vinny just sort of playing it a bit playing both sides trying to get that new contract you know he's so talented he's at you know Arsenal's a fantastic club but

I think most people think, you know, your Real Madrid, Barcelona are just that one level higher, particularly I think in the mind of many Brazilian players.

He's been so, so big for Real Madrid.

It just feels, it just doesn't feel like a transfer Arsenal have done traditionally.

So that's why it feels so hard to get your head around it.

But they are clearly trying.

It's just whether Vini is playing them a bit.

I think if Real Madrid wanted to get rid of Vinny Jr., they would have done it in January when he was reported to have fallen out with Javi Alonso, the then coach of Real Madrid.

They sort of chose their Galactico, got their manager sacked.

So it feels like, why would you get rid of your long-term manager for your superstar to then send him six months later?

Are you not so excited to just see Jose attempt to manage this dressing room with Mbappe, Vini, Bellingham?

this generation see Jose the way that maybe you guys do or that I do as this all concrete manager?

Or do you think they might see him as the guy who's not done that, who's not won that much for a while?

Do you know what I hope?

Do you not think Jose plays up to a character and he'll lean back into that?

Yeah.

What, the Panto villain?

Could you not say Ozil was sort of a galactico when he went to Arsenal?
