Credit goes to u/roverston for compiling it all for their post on r/Gunners. This is an exact copy of the original post. Spanish language podcasts are linked as sources. Translated from Spanish. Tiers are based on r/realmadrid reliability guide. \[Ramon Alvarez de Mon (tier 2)\](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s\\\_bVGFTTX3Y) says Madrid and Vini are about 7m euros net (15m euros gross) apart in contract talks, and this hasn't changed for a year now. Abraham Romero (tier 4) on the podcast saying very few clubs have shown interest in Vini as yet, basically just Saudi and Arsenal. Romero is cautious but thinks Vini will re-sign. \[Sergio Valentin (tier 2)\](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7SIrLk3xeA) is saying Vini wants to renew, Madrid want him to renew, but they've been deadlocked for so long that he thinks he'll be sold. Vini's reps have been delaying and delaying, then Vini wanted to see if his world cup improved his position. The gap between the two parties is very wide, and this hasn't changed so far. Says Madrid have told Vini's entourage that if there won't be a renewal, he needs to find offers from other clubs. Also says he doesn't think Madrid will be able to sell him for a big fee because they really want to avoid losing him on a free. Madrid sources have told him only three players are untouchable: Mbappe, Jude, and Valverde. \[Mario Cortegana (Tier 1)\](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSNsrP6NfKY) says as a potential price, perhaps 100m euros might be a guide. He thinks the only way a transfer gets done - assuming he doesn't re-sign - is if Madrid lowers its price. He believes 'approval at all levels' in the Ornstein tweet means Arsenal have contacted Vini's agents to meet the price they're asking. He suggests that he thinks Madrid have been spooked by the risk of Vini actually leaving, and have gone back into the market for Rodri and Diomande to bolster themselves against that eventuality. Says both sides will have to give in to reach a compromise, but thinks Madrid's hands are tied. Suggests if Vini doesn't lower his demands, Madrid really can't afford to give him what he's asking for, especially considering the prospect of Bellingham and Mbappe's eventual renewals on the horizon. Says he's starting to have doubts about his renewal based on how Arsenal are moving, though it's in Vini's hands to make his decision. Says Vini could try to leave on a free, but the Madrid party line is only renewal or sale.   submitted by   /u/ahjkolhs [link]   [comments]
