La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[promise444c5]

In this new contract of de Jong, the salary will be spread for longer time so technically the salaries will be reduced per month so they can sign Nico Williams for example.

Well will see about that..
Normally it would have reduced during his injury period, they gave him an option to do his surgery or if he can’t play still his wage will be reduced.. but he was given more chances and he’s gotten better hopefully he doesn’t get another injury on the same spot as the surgery would be the next thing.
As for Nico, he made his choice already.. I don’t blame him him there’s something about the deal which he want Barcelona to clear but they are not complying so I believe he made the right decision and as for staying in Bilbao, I expected nothing less,he earns more now

Barcelona is a team that is currently going through a very critical financial situation because their financial problems have been under discussion for a long time and some people also say that the financial issues have become quite serious. They have also opened up a bit about themselves. But if the problems are resolved, I think this should see more than read how the changes in your team are and who they are. I think that Barcelona needs the luck right now because after financial problems, only luck is enough, that will take you to your destination. But until the financial issues are resolved, I think this team cannot perform well and brought good players for the betterment of the team.

My advice for Barcelona is to become more strategic in their spending and get more credible young players to grow. It's obvious that things are no longer the way they used to be for Barcelona unlike in the past where they got their big player squad  yet performed awesomely well. Now things are no longer the way they used to be for the club and the earlier they readjust their gameplay and look out for more investment opportunities the better for them.

Barcelona chew more than what they could bite and it's the consequences of their actions that is hunting them. Not sure if they are going to follow that route again. The mistake could have been avoided but they signed many players to the point what the club was making was below average of what they were paying the players, some of them had pending wages because the club don't earn enough to pay everybody, it's the reason why they got into that mess in the first place.

I read somewhere that they have paid all their debts, but I'm still in doubt. They are going to play this season without buying any players and probably under pay some players. If they are not paying these players their complete bills, then it means the debt is still there because they will be owing another set of players again. Assuming they won the Champions League last season, it might have help them achieve more success with fans and subscribers.

I don't think that anything will change next season on Barcelona financial situation, because they need to improve their financial strength and that cannot be done within a season. Barcelona needs to find a means in which they can solve their financial difficulties so that they can buy players of their choice in order to strengthen the team.

What you said makes sense because for a team that still has a large expenditure on its own player's salary and the team doesn't have more additional income like Barcelona is currently experiencing, of course it will always be difficult to get chosen players and Barcelona has also failed to get players like Nico Williams at this time. So Barcelona's financial ability itself is still not in a good enough condition even though the team has been able to win La Liga last season and also looks strong in several other competitions such as CDR and UCL.

Barcelona is just lucky that despite their financial predicaments, they still have players who are loyal to the club and are doing perfectly fine if not it wouldn't have been easy for them and moreover, the La Liga they won last season is a good motivation that will enhance their performance next season so even if they don't sign much players due to their financial constraints, they can still manage with the present players and maintain a good form in the La Liga and the Champions League. However, the club's management really made regrettable financial decisions in the past, look at FC Barcelona now, regardless that they won the La Liga last season, it didn't even change anything in their financial system.

 It literally means that the Brazilian player has fallen out of favor under Xabi Alonso which is why they are now open to selling him. So now is the time to give the right answer to ignoring yourself, so if this player can really walk the right path, then I believe he will make a brilliant career at Arsenal as well. Moreover the English representatives may be in the market for a left-sided forward which could potentially make their dream come true. However we are surprised that Real Madrid are now underestimating this player but he could well be a huge asset for Arsenal. Even the news feed is showing evidence that Arsenal are prepared to pay a high price to fully acquire Real Madrid's Gonzalo Garcia.

Yeah, it wasn't even now, I noticed he was been dropped towards the last days of Ancelotti as the teams coach. Although Rodrygo dropped in form but I wasn't expecting them to drop him just like. Rodrygo is one of the most underrated Real Madrid player, his played a very pivotal role in the winning of some important trophies for Real Madrid during his time. How can I forget the two goals in less than three minutes after Real Madrid had just 1% chance of qualification whereas Manchester City had 99% change four seasons ago and two seasons ago he turned up when the team needed him the most.

You phrase this as if they are all Barcelona players because they are so damn loyal to the club, but that is by no means the reason. If Lamin Yamal had not become one of the highest paid players in for Barcelona, he would have left. There wouldn't be loyalty if Barcelona told him they can only pay €10 million at maximum. He would never have decided to sign a new contract and he would have raised the pressure for Barcelona as this contract would approach the expiration date.

Barcelona is one of the clubs with the highest salaries for their players in the world if you leave out Al Nassr. The loyalty you are talking about is expensive loyalty.

Barcelona will have no other option but to cut their cost and ensure they spend less so that they can balance up in their finance. They have few young players and they need money to keep the lads if they must grow with the team all they just have to do is to get better and win many trophies so that they can cover up the financial problems of the team.

With Alonso as Real Madrid's headcoach, and a former player of Madrid, and a club which he played for many years, he's going to have a great achievement and success with Madrid, considering his successful managerial record with Leverkusen.
I believe they have higher opportunity in this competition to lift this very trophy aside, PSG and Chelsea two current champions.
Real Madrid is very lucky to have a coach like Xavi Alonso come into their rescue, because they had a poor last season under Carlo Ancelotti, and I do believe Alonso will get Madrid right back on track with his tactical system of play.

First off being a club legend and a good contributor in his time at Real Madrid doesn’t guarantee he will achieve great things or be successful as a manager with the same club it just has to be based on his managerial performance and capabilities. For the sake of his success with Leverkusen which raises the bar for him, then I can say their is a huge possibility that he will be successful but not because he is a legend with Madrid.

[AYOBA]

Real Madrid football team was favorite team for that match because they have top class players in that team and they have capability to win against big teams. They did excellent in last match which was against Juventus . Juventus team could not do any goal in this match and their defense system was also weak in this match and they could not stop goal in this match. Real Madrid player did goal in this match and that was García and he did this goal in the second half when we expected goal from that team because players were angry because they could not do any goal in the first half.In the second half, Juventus team was not ready for the goal and García attacked on opponent team when he got opportunity. Players performance was good in everything.

We're seeing some differences from Real Madrid because of their recent performance, which is worth a victory over Juventus because they now have everything a team wants: a better player and a competent coach. They can defeat good teams because of the Club World Cup, but even though the competition isn't very strong and the coach didn't give his players enough training, I don't think they'll be able to compete with the better teams.

[TelolettOm]

Xabi really likes Arda Guller's style of play and also his profile, even at Leverkusen, he really raised it. And this is quite reasonable, Rodrygo is also a top and talented player, not being satisfied with being on the bench more often is a very rational and reasonable thing.

I think he's good, but his top ball is weak. Maybe Xabi wants a replacement player who has a more ideal posture. If he does leave, maybe Xabi can buy Viktor Gyokeres. Sporting reportedly opened the price of Gyokeres at 100 million Euros. But I read new news that Viktor Gyokeres prefers to join Arsenal. But another rumor is that if not Viktor Gyokeres then Rodrygo is also an alternative for Arsenal, because he can play on the right or left.

In fact, Real Madrid does not lack players in his position. Xabi really likes Arda Guller, there are many rumors that he will be his replacement, but on the other hand, currently, Garcia has also played an important role in several Real Madrid matches in the Club World Cup which automatically gives him a big chance to be in that position. Surely Xabi will evaluate all of that. But so far, there has been no official negotiation with Gyokeres.

[Furious 7]

I don't think what was done at Leverkusen means it will be the same in La Liga. Although there is indeed such hope, but we must realize that the situation is different in this case so everything cannot be simply equated.
Being in Madrid will indeed be a little advantageous where he is equipped with resources in terms of players who are indeed very qualified but on the other hand the pressure is also very heavy so Xabi must remember that.

The risk is comparable if in the end he can give his best then in the end he will be one of the coaches who will be praised but otherwise if in the end Madrid's performance seems ordinary then he must be prepared with all forms of consequences.
Adaptation is something that must be emphasized where when the adaptation is good, it does not rule out the possibility that what he did at Bayern can be repeated in Madrid but it also cannot be a benchmark because different clubs can be different fates.

I totally understand your stand point, it's not always rosy everywhere and again on the aspect of pressure, yes Real Madrid as a club itself is a pressure because of the clubs accomplishments so far, anyone who's in the helms of affairs is pressured to perform at a certain level and it non-negotiable that I understand. I see Alonso as another Zidane in Real Madrid the little difference is that, his been to another top league and competed with the best of the league, I see him having a successful spell in the Spanish capital, his been in team for long as a player, then as a junior team coach before picking up the job in Germany and now his back.

Maybe this happened because the pattern of their attacking game looks the same and I think it's quite natural to see this situation because Xabi and Zidane seem to have almost the same game scheme which emphasizes counter attacks.

But even so, things like this also do not necessarily become a benchmark because after all we must be aware that now even though for the Club World Cup it looks quite convincing for Xabi but it cannot be a reference. In addition, the pressure is clearly still very large to be in Madrid so that if in the end Xabi wants to be seen more as a coach then inevitably he must be able to create his own momentum and be able to prove that he deserves to be in Madrid as a replacement for Ancelotti.

Surely Xabi will evaluate all of that. But so far, there has been no official negotiation with Gyokeres.

When he was still at Leverkusen there were even rumors that Xabi wanted to sign this player although together now that Xabi has gone to Madrid so this can clearly be put to good use where Arda currently seems to have a place of his own in the scheme that Xabi did for Madrid.
Although it cannot be denied that Xabi is also now bringing Mastantuono from River Plate but it looks like Arda will still be given more opportunities in contrast to before in the Ancelotti era which seemed limited.

Garcia was also quite conspicuous at the Club World Cup and I think he is still good enough to be given more opportunities later if Madrid do not provide additional players for strikers. As for Gyokeres, I don't see any rumors because at the moment what is always busy for Gyokeres is interest from clubs in the EPL but it does not rule out the possibility that he could also be in Madrid although I think for now such things are still not really needed for Madrid.

Yes, moreover, it is still too early to judge now because we do not know what will happen next season. Xabi Alonso comes as a coach, which certainly carries more pressure than just being a player. What is clear is that Xabi Alonso must show his ability to bring his former club to success because the club and fans have high hopes for Xabi Alonso, although I myself cannot say that Xabi will be successful at Real Madrid, but whatever Xabi's decision in managing the team must be supported by the management so that Xabi can be more flexible in setting the right strategy.

In a year Barcelona will be looking for new leverage, and Niko's price has already increased by 1.5 times  
Plus, we can expect Lewandowski to leave (even if he doesn't, a new striker will be needed). A goalkeeper is also needed. De Jong's contract ends in 2026, Kuhnde and Torress in 2027, arguments (financial) are needed to keep them if Barcelona is interested in this. In general, it is an endless cycle, but it seems that management does not think that far ahead and is trying to solve only the immediate problem, and not always successfully.

Finally its over for Barcelona to sign Nico William from Athletic Bilbao after his decision extended contract until ten years later June 2035, incredible contract extend usually any player get extend contract offering around three until five years later but Nico Williams will stay for Athletic Bilbao until June 2035. Barcelona still have difficulty for registering Nico Willian if reach agreement deal for signing him how its problem happenng every season, last year Barcelona can't registering Dani Olmo and absent until several matches for Barcelona due financial fair play regulation from La Liga.
After signing new goals keeper Joan García, Barcelona not sign yet new player indeed they have several back up position exactly at central forward due Ferran Torres still injury. Barcelona have sold early Ansu Fati to AS Monaco but not sign yet for replacing his position indeed last season Ansu Fati has lack minutes playing. Who will be the next sign player by Barcelona or this window transfer have been over for Hansi Flick to get new player?

Barcelona needs to find a means in which they can solve their financial difficulties so that they can buy players of their choice in order to strengthen the team.

If the financial problems are to be solved then Barcelona must sell some players who get big salaries from the club but if that is done it might be problematic for the team's journey. Recently I heard about the failed recruitment from Barcelona so that Nico William extended his contract with Athletic Club. This shows how unprepared Barcelona is because they don't have the money to recruit the player even though Nico William himself previously said he was interested in playing for Barcelona.

Real Madrid has the quality of players in which Xabi Alonso can use to achieve success because he was able to use players that ain't big names to win the title in his former club. Madrid is a club filled with all stars, and with the right game strategy from Alonso, he will improve the club's performance and achieve success.

They can defeat good teams because of the Club World Cup, but even though the competition isn't very strong and the coach didn't give his players enough training, I don't think they'll be able to compete with the better teams.

Mate even last season Realmadrid had all they needed in their club, they had a good manager then too in the person of Carlo anceloti, we all know him to be a very good coach, I know some people will wnat to say that they got some injured players at a point last season that true but that club has all it takes to manage the situation at that time until those injured players return from injury but we saw what happened and how they also ended last season, personally I expected more goal from them in their match with Juventus, we know the current situation of Juventus so I won't praise Realmdrid much in that match because they could only get only one goal which we can actually see that it was difficult for them, other teams are training so why won't the coach give his players enough training, buddy that's not an excuse, Realmadrid need to buckle up, xabi has a job to do and that's now.

Madrid is a club filled with all stars, and with the right game strategy from Alonso, he will improve the club's performance and achieve success.

You have made strong point. Xabi Alonso would be great fit for Real Madrid because he has already shown he can win with different kinds of teams even those without famous players. Since Madrid is full of stars Alonso smart game plans combined with his deep knowledge from his playing days would help team to play better and win more and become even more consistent which is exciting for any fan.

[Velvet78]

Now I wonder what Laporta will do on the upcoming days. Barcelona still has many players in the squad who can be sold to be able to register better players. The fans will surely expect some moves from their team. 

In a year Barcelona will be looking for new leverage, and Niko's price has already increased by 1.5 times  
Plus, we can expect Lewandowski to leave (even if he doesn't, a new striker will be needed). A goalkeeper is also needed.

In general, it is an endless cycle, but it seems that management does not think that far ahead and is trying to solve only the immediate problem, and not always successfully.

It will most probably be Lewandowski's last season at Barcelona. By the end of his contract next summer, he would leave. Because I don't think he would still be the main CF then and he wouldn't like the idea of being reserve either. 

De Jong might stay longer though. Things have been going more positive between the player and team recently. I don't know about Ferran Torres. I'm not much of a fan of him honestly.
