La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[KTChampions]

So what's your suggestion? Buy Mbappe and Haaland?  You cannot have two Ronaldos in attack or two Buffons as goalkeepers. If circumstances develop in a negative way, then Vinicius will play a clean striker. In the future, Real will look for a replacement for Benzema, but now there is no urgent need for this.

Let's think Real Madrid has signed Haaland to replace Benzema, and Benzema has retired. Do you think Haaland will start a good performance as soon as he joins the Real Madrid squad? It takes a lot of time for a player to adapt to a team. And so at least a season before Benzema leaves, Real Madrid should find a replacement for Benzema and join the squad. Vini is certainly a talented player, he could be Benzema's replacement if Benzema is not in the squad. However, the title cannot be expected based on the performance of just one player.

"Ready" players usually start playing right away without "give me a year to get used to it". Especially if we are talking about high quality players like Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, Benzema, etc. I am sure that next season Haaland will be close to breaking the league record for goals scored. At the moment there is no suitable striker on the market (we do not take into account Lewandowski and Ronaldo due to age), so Real Madrid will solve this problem later and there is still time.

Barcelona are currently focused on getting Poland and Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski.
Actually, Barcelona's front line is quite solid. Aubameyang performed well last season assisted by Ferran Torres and two talented young players namely Gavi and Pedri.

As for Lewandowski, I think his transfer is still unclear. Maybe Barcelona can get him, but he is still under contract with Bayern Munich until the end of this season. There is a possibility that he will stay at Bayern Munich if they do not receive an offer that suits him. Aubameyang, Torres, Dembele, Pedri, Gavi, Fati and several other players are expected to contribute well this season. So I think it's good to hope that Barcelona can compete with Real Madrid for the title this season.

Is it possible that Lewandowski will experience the same thing as Mohamed Salah at Liverpool? Because there were so many rumors circulating about Sadio Mane leaving Anfield, but in the end he (Mohamed Salah) officially signed a new contract with Liverpool.

For me, Xavi Hernandez can make Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati as strikers next season because the ability of these two young Spanish boys is also good in the striker position.
Just like Real Madrid who had Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr as goalscorers when Benzema struggled to do his job up front.

I talked about the Raphinha deal so soon like I was seeing a guaranteed move to Chelsea for him. However the recent news show that Barcelona are very likely to steal the deal all of a sudden. He is willing to join Barcelona right now as it seems and Chelsea can really fail in this race. It would be a big disappointment for them after bringing the deal to this point. But there is nothing they can do while Raphinha himself isn't thinking of joining them. However I wonder if Barcelona have given up on their target to sign Lewandowski because they will spend a lot of money for Raphinha already.
[/quote
I see in some media barcelona have to spend at least $35 million to get Raphinha
Besides that, with Barcelona's plans to sign Lewandowski and some other star issues, Barcelona's chances of signing Raphinha are very slim. And barcelona are not the only ones interested in Raphinha so I think leed united will charge a pretty high price

yeah i really agree with you, Raphinha is a well talented player, he's always serious on the pitch, he's admired cause of his quality skills and dribbles, and his goal scoring ability. as we all know, Raphinha is so important to leeds, cause he is their key player, and he has helped the team alot. so letting go of him is so hard to them, cause they knew his importance in the team, and they know what his absent might cause. as it stands now raphinha is linked with a move to some top quality clubs in europe, chelsea and barcelona are the two clubs taking the lead to sign him. though raphinha has always dream of playing for barcelona, and he has chosen barcelona against chelsea. but as it stands now, barcelona are trying their best to setup the team and are trying to bring in some quality players that will bring back the team, but the teams have some outstanding problems that they are trying to resolve, they are having financial challenges recently. so bringing in raphinha won't be that easy, cause they are also going for lewandowski, which they haven't sign cause of the price place on him and that's their major problem this season, they can't sign quality players because of their price.

What happened in one year, Barcelona's financial situation fixed? What did I miss? They couldn't even sign Messi last year and now all of a sudden they can spend 40-50 million on Lewa and 35 million to Raphinha? I'm not sure if Raphinha worth 35 million Euro or if he's the ideal signing for Barca but I know Barca need to sell some players before making big transfers. If they sell Frenkie de Jong for a good price these transfers also can happen. Laporta said he doesn't want to sell De Jong so this makes the situation even more confusing.

But fortunately Barcelona is currently the same case as Lewandowski, reportedly Raphinha also really wants to play for Barcelona and even the offer submitted by Chelsea can be said to have been rejected by Raphinha. Instead of moving to Chelsea Raphinha said it would be better to stay at Leeds and wait for Barcelona's finances to recover at least until next winter, I'm just amazing they are not pegged or tempted by money because they are willing to be patient to be able to play for Barcelona.

Barca have got Christensen and Kessie, this is what is predicted to be the opening for Barca's success again (will make Barca's achievements and finances go up again)

it's been reported that barca has been Rapinha's dream club for a long time, this is what makes him not interested in chelsea. raphinha is a principled person, I value him compared to mbappe LOL (who only loves money and power)

I also have the same thought. It looks impossible for Barcelona to sign Lewandoski and Rapinha without sacrificing the players they have. Even before Laporta issued a statement that they would not let De Jong go, there are rumors that they are pressing De Jong to willingly move to Man United and there was no news regarding a solution to the financial crisis that Barcelona was facing.

So if they can actually sign Lewandoski and Rapinha without having to sell players, then it will be a real surprise. However, I have the assumption that the statement made by Laporta is a strategy to boost De Jong's selling point

I think Barcelona this season is also supported by their new sponsor and that might help him financially. But of course to bring in some players who have contracts from other teams requires them to spend a lot of money. And the current situation is Barcelona don't have enough money to buy without selling players or something.

I don't expect them to push themselves too hard to sign Lewandowski if they don't have a good way to make money. While Aubameyang, who was brought in from Arsenal, still makes a good contribution to them, which he proved last season. So it is a very complicated situation for Barcelona because of the need for new players to increase their title chances this season, but Real Madrid must not applaud Barcelona's current predicament.

[TopT3ns]

It is still vague whether Barcelona are going to be able to complete the agreement with Bayern Munich for Lewandowski. Like you people said Bayern Munich have already rejected Barcelona's third offer too. This must be really annoying for Barcelona as they would like to finish the deal as soon as possible. However it doesn't seem like this process is affecting them negatively right now too. Because they are going for their other targets like Raphinha on one hand.

I think barcelona will still try to get him because at this club they get a very large injection of funds so it will be very capable if they take Robert Lewandowski, from a player perspective he is very accepting and wants to go to barcelona, currently only Bayern Munich is making it difficult to let him go because I think it's very natural that when he loses a very professional player as a main striker it will be difficult to find a player like this again.

Very confusing situation is currently happening to Barcelona, ​​some time ago when it was reported that they were experiencing with financial crisis and they were looking for options by cutting off their senior salary. But on the other way, Barcelona was surprised by the transfer Lewandowski and Raphinha. I think financial crisis maybe the reason for Barcelona how reach agreement with several Barcelona player want give cut off their salary, have another side with Barcelona try to get Lewandowski from Bayern Munich with 35 million euro and Raphinha from Leeds United could be more than 50 million euro depending how English media make several player have expenaive values.

Barcelona's financial condition is always rumored to have never been good but they basically get some money from sponsors and other businesses and that might be ignored. I think it's good to hear that Barcelona are brave enough to make high bids on players like Lewandowski and Raphinha, it has told us they might be able to do it regardless of how their financial condition is reported in the media.

So far Barcelona have managed to cut the salaries of their players and now every player will get a lower salary. Honestly, I salute the Barcelona players, they are willing to contribute and are willing to cut their salaries just for the benefit of the club in the long term. It's a big sacrifice from the players for their team while there are other players who are willing to leave just because their demands for a salary increase are rejected by the club.

Even if they got a fresh money from new coming sponsors ... it would still requires a thorough money management as they are in a deadline day both the debt deadline and transfer deadline.
There is something to pay immediately to cover up the club operations , they are in stuck progress with lack of achievements.

They are still in a tough and complicated situations despite they have money added into their banks.

According to the latest news related to him seems Barcelona won't permanently Adama Traore status and it is confirmed officially and now he has return to Wolves to train again to faced pre season matches so Adama Traore will not being an Barcelona player for next season and after loaned from Wolves he has impressive debut performance but after March seems he cannot play as Xavi expectation so Barcelona has decide to ended loan duration

I read this and in fact he has now left Camp Nou and is at Wolves again for next season.
Even though he is a good player but it seems he doesn't fit very well at Barcelona after 2 tries he still failed there this case is the same as Lukaku now.
If in comparison I actually see him playing better at Wolves than at Barcelona.

And in the case of Adama Traore, Barcelona still loan him to Wolves indirectly Barcelona still expect something from Traore. With the minimal contribution of this player, I think it would be more profitable if Barcelona sell him to Wolves to increase the possibility of Barcelona getting more competent players.
In addition, there are reports that Barcelona are interested in Brazil players Raphael Dias Belloli or Raphinha. But this player has a market value of close to $50 million, will Barcelona get the right results if they manage to bring in this player?

You are a little wrong here. Adama wasn't on loan because it was Barcelona who borrowed him from Wolves and now he's back at his club How could Wolves buy their own players lol.
Getting Raphinha now seems impossible for them especially for now their rivals Chelsea with better finances.

He has been sent back to Wolves and has resumed training as a Wolves player.
Adama was quite an interesting player last season when he was with Wolves but indeed for Barcelona he was not very suitable and actually this reduced the quality of Adama again in my opinion because last season actually many people wanted his services but decided to go to Barcelona which actually made his career dim again because he didn't play well there.

Barcelona is the club he want since from kids, but according to what I heard Leed's asking price for the winger was not less than 60 million euro. Barcelona finances this time have to be economical to buy players, next season is also uncertain so it's likely that Raphinha will still hang on, even though his interest in Catalunya has been very long, this player must be sincere.

In that case it's much more sensible to sign Robert, I can't say he will be more useful than Raphinha, but it's a much easier fight here because not many clubs are running for Lewandowski. Who knows though, maybe they will sign both players?(Although in that case they will have big problems with finances, although even now things are bad). After all, they sold de Jong for 65 million, what's the problem with buying Lewandowski with the proceeds? There will even be 5 million left over.

[Zackgeno96]

It seems that De Jong is still going to stay with Barcelona. Strange, because they can use that money they could get for him. I think Manchester United would eventually be willing to pay around €90 million. Then they are still in debt, but you can pay off a lot of things. De Jong would now even receive a salary reduction. Apparently Xavi sees a great future for de Jong, because he has not played very well in recent seasons. real madrid will look at it all with laughter, they have a strong squad and I don't expect many players to leave there either. Especially Benzema should stay.

De jong bid with Manchester United have become a lengthy one because it had lasted for weeks and still yet, no confirmation have been concord not even the player personal Terms have been meet. Barcelona boss, Xavi might keep Frankie till next season if united fail to win hik over. The main problem I'm seeing in the deal is that Frankie De Jong wants to be featured in the champions league games next season rather than European league games.

[Pulsar77]

I see that Barcelona president Laporta has already made a statement about the Frenkie de Jong topic. He says that they don't intend to sell him now and he is happy there also. Barcelona seem very determined to keep him but it looks like there are some issues with his salary now. In this financial condition their job might be a little difficult but they should do their best not to lose strength in the end. There are so many news all around like he will still leave but it depends on how Barcelona will act as of now.

Bayern Munich are really serious about not selling out their star players anything less than €50 million. Lewandowski is concerned as Bayern best player. While, Barcelona are currently having financial issue, and the oonlt way they can possibly bring Lewandowski to Barcelona is by selling out their players in order to raise funds. This is a big problems for them. However, I think they will probably go for Raphinha, if Bayern choose not to accept their offer.
