If there's anything about crises between the two teams then it'll surely be Barcelona who's currently having financial crises. However Barcelona still remain as one of the best teams in the league despite their inability to sign as many players as they'll wish to.
Barcelona won the league last season even when it was visible that Real Madrid had better squad which will surely make Madrid to try make up for their shortcomings when the new season kickoff.

Real Madrid lacks a solid attacker, that could replace Benzema and score goals. In the previous season, Real Madrid suffered a lot from Benzema injuries for exemple and they struggled to score in many occasions. Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo did a good job but they couldn't hide that missing spot.
I would add that Real Madrid don't have enough attackers, they don't have right now any substitutes for their wingers after the departure of Asencio and Hazard. The worst part is not seeing enough rumours at least about recruiting new players in these positions apart from Mbappe. Even Harry Kane want to join Bayern Munich..

Harry Maguire is pissed off after getting away the captaincy from him by Ten Hag, in addition to not playing enough last season. Honestly, I support Ten Hag on not considering him after his disastrous and infinite mistakes. I consider him the player number 12 in Manchester United opponents in every single game he participated on.
Bruno Fernandes will most likely be the new captain and Maguire will move to Chelsea in my opinion since they lack defenders. Otherwise Spurs, West Ham could also be a choice for him. I doubt he will move to Saudi Arabia since he will try to get the revenge and prove Ten Hag wrong. For the price, £50m? that's a joke. His market value is currently €20m, and that's overestimated too in my opinion..

Since Harry Kane declared that he is not interested to play with PSG, he prefer to go to Bundesliga with Bayern Munich, then Vlahovic will be the target of PSG.
As far as I am aware of, the player accepted 5 years deal with PSG and it is up to Juventus to accept the offer and let the player walk away.
For the supporters, I think they are overreacting and they will not be crazier than Manchester United ones..

Barcelona improved a lot since Xavi started training the team and since Lewandowski joined them also. The old players have left the club, yet the impact of their departure was absorbed swiftly. It is true they couldn't do much in European competitions but they dominated by far La Liga. Their defencive line was one of the best in Europe. That transition period wasn't very successful but it is going smoothly to the better.
Barcelona problem remained the money, otherwise I expect them to play in Champions League finals next season, maybe they will not lift it but at least they will not humiliate themselves this time.

Manchester City didn't have Haaland in the other seasons although they finished first in EPL and played in advanced stages in Champions League. The strategy will certainly change depending on the games and what Guardiola feels appreciate, they will figure a way to adapt.
The advantage of having Haaland is playing comfortably in the hardest matches while stressing the opponents a lot. His firepower guarantee the success of the team whenever he is fit for the game.

Barcelona are in heavy pressure considering recruitment of new players unless they are free agents. They have right now 26 players in the team, half of them foreigners. They got Gundogan and Martinez for free and collected few millions from Griezmann and Trincao. This money will not help them get any top player, they lack a real replacement for Lewandowski in case he get injured unless Xavi change his tactics.. For Mbappe, he will join Real Madrid, that's sure.

Both Saudi league and MLS are based on few excellent teams and the others are close to medium. SPL have like 5 teams with a huge budget recruiting foreign players mainly European to be able to compete in their domestic league but also internationally. MLS isn't far from them. Both leagues are interesting since they have big names in them, the difference is MLS is quite known comparing to Saudi Arabia league which is relatively newly popped from scratch.

Neymar lost two third of his highest market value in two seasons approximately. He played with PSG 29 matches in all competitions last season including 6 in Champions League and 20 in Ligue 1 scoring in the latter 13 goals. Mbappe played 34 games in Ligue 1 and scored 29. Without counting injuries but Mbappe by far is more useful and important than Neymar in the team. Since PSG will end up by losing both of them soon, it would be better to not include them in their strategy, at least in the medium term, until they find suitable substitutes..

Until now nothing big happened in Serie A, just slight change as far as I am aware of which means things will remain quite the same next season with Napoli advantageous along with Inter tho. Obviously there might be new signing later otherwise the other teams will be in trouble concurring Napoli.
I expect Juventus to return to the race for top spots in addition to Milan. For Roma, you have the feeling they are broke and collecting free transfers while selling some of their players! Quite weird what they are planning for the next season.

Arsenal spent a lot of money and the stuff will be very angry on the management if they fail to bring a trophy to the club and to secure a Champions League spot for the year after. I would say not winning EPL at least will make them disappointed. If Arteta lose several games and get down badly in the ranking he risk being kicked from the team. His missing is very hard with all efforts done to make the gunners great again

Manchester City will start the next season with few changes only while Manchester United, Liverpool and especially Arsenal made a lot of efforts to improve the squad and they should not be underestimated whether in Champions League or EPL.
There is Bayern Munich that is also making the squad way better. I don't see big things in France and Italy. Barcelona and Real Madrid are classically though teams to face. Overall next season will be harder than this one in my opinion.

Zaniolo moved from Roma to Galatasaray with a quite long contract term up to 2027, which makes them decide when to let the player go if no team is willing to pay the release clause which isn't that high luckily.
Playing in Galatasaray will make him playing in European competitions, which is the most important advantage, other than that Saudi league is better financially and with the number of players arrived there, the league will be interesting too. Since the player is young, he has nothing to lose in my opinion by playing in this league or an European one.

Arsenal spent heavily this transfer window, if I am not mistaken they spent more money than any other team this transfer window whether in EPL or even elsewhere?
€226.6m given to bring Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber.
Gunners are now the team with the most market value among teams in EPL! If it shows something then it is how serious the stuff and Arteta are to bring a title or two for the team next season. Manchester City and Guardiola should be worried about its titles.

Virtually talking, Dortmund get the Bundesliga title and throw it to Bayern Munich at the last moment for no reason.
It is true on paper Bayern Munich added another trophy to theirs but they should not consider that as an achievement. They should regret playing that way in the previous season and they are doing their best to rebuild the squad. They are seeking now Harry Kane to close the gap in their attack line and Kyle Walker to consolidate the defensive line.

Players tend to select teams based on the money they will earn, the achievement that could be done and the position of the league among the european ones.
Based on money, I mean the salary they will perceive, for example Neymar moved to PSG since he has a big offer. Achievements for PSG are Ligue 1 title which is obvious and potentially a big chance to play in Champions League and eventually try earning it which is the only interesting thing selecting that team specifically. For the position, Ligue 1 comes to the 5th place after EPL, La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga. Less competitive than the others even though Marseille and Lens made some actions last season but far from influencing the ranking of PSG.

Although Lukaku isn't playing as he used to play previously, yet we find teams fighting to recruit him. Juventus, Ac Milan rumours about getting him was correct but quite random since the player claimed he wants to stay with Inter.
There is a second attempt by Inter to seduce Chelsea which seems to get maximum profits from this.

Classically Manchester City is a contender for the Champions League and EPL titles by default. What makes this easy to happen is the fact that the other teams are playing poorly. Let's start with Manchester United bad debut, Liverpool out of its normal shape, Bayern Munich and PSG aren't that competitive, Real Madrid wasn't playing as they used to do, Barcelona failed bad in European competitions altogether... That was like a direct road to the titles. Even the Italian clubs weren't successful in stopping City.

Saudi League is getting more popular otherwise we wouldn't see people around the world talking about it that much, even in our forums I feel the topic is more active than some European leagues.
The main point is how much this bubble or tendance will remain. I mean Chinese at some point were popular among Europeans then suddenly faded. I don't know if Saudis will keep their league attractive or will stop running behind players after few seasons..

If we talk about positions then all of these players have at least one substitute, if not several ones apart from Mahrez. We know also that Mahrez didn't participate a lot in the previous season and was less effective comparing to two or three years ago.
Obviously having many players leaving the club will destabilise it but Manchester City know already that a transition phase will occur especially after they won everything especially Champions League title

EPL level is way better than the others, for me it is the equal of La Liga and Serie A together. A player joining EPL has to know that the challenge there is intense and risk of failure is considerable.
Ac Milan didn't impress in the previous season, they dropped badly and kept hovering between playing good and sometimes doing really bad. Until now they didn't sign big names, they bought two players from Chelsea and sold Tonali to Newcastle.
