La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[wiss19]

I don't think Real Madrid will complete Harry Kane's transfer if Tottenham set such a high price for him. I think Real Madrid would likely complete Mbappe tranfer for the same value if they were willing to spend that amount on a striker. But instead of buying an expensive striker, Real Madrid have an alternative where the unexpected Joselu has become Real Madrid's latest signing as a striker.

Jesulu may only have a short-term contract with Real Madrid as he was the only alternative being considered after Real Madrid lost Benzema. If Real Madrid don't find their best new striker, then they might do it again in another transfer market while following developments on Mbappe's situation at PSG.

Harry Kane chapter for the Real Madrid is already ended because Real Madrid is not going to invest amount which is tagged by Tottenham for the transfer of this star player now they are working on few alternative players with Mbappé is still their main target, but they will also not pay price which is currently tagged for him as well which is surely too much for them even they can afford this and situation at PSG is also not good because if he is not going to extend his contract then most chances PSG will off load him, and we have few clubs which can invest this amount like Chelsea, Newcastle United and Manchester United so now where he is going it's not clear because if he will join any English club then surely Real Madrid is going to lose this chance for the next four or five years.

Real Madrid already have some good signings even these are not as par requirement but still they are working on their target and who is coming to be their next signing for the main spot it's not clear, but all will be settled in next few weeks

Real Madrid are a smart club and they have a policy to avoid signing too long contract with old players. I don't think they will break their policy to sign a contract with Harry Kane and even have to spend not cheap transfer cost for that striker. It wipes out all terms in their policy which has been applied in Bernabeu many years.

Between Harry Kane and Mbappe, it's wiser to invest money into Mbappe, not into Kane. Kane is older than Mbappe and even Kane is a world-class striker, he has never played beyond Premier League. Will he be able to adapt to La Liga style? Who knows? At his age, two failed seasons will be like an ending for his career.

surely Real Madrid have been thinking for the long term preferring to invest their money in Mbappe over Kane. because Mbappe had a great career at his young age and in the long term Mbappe can become the best player like Haaland who is in the premier league and make a good contribution to Real Madrid.
I really hope that Real Madrid will join in pursuing the signing of a contract with Mbappe because after the rumors circulating that Mbappe does not want to extend his contract with PSG, many teams will be after Mbappe and I hope that Mbappe can choose Real Madrid to continue his career in the Champions League.

I'm sure Sevilla will be able to fix any gaps this season by bringing in talented players to fill those gaps. Sevilla has a pretty great coach. I think José Luis Mendilibar will have the full support of Sevilla management to change the squad in this season transfer window. In addition to the defense sector that needs to be repaired, they also need to bring in good quality stickers in the transfer window. So far, there have been several players targeted by José Luis Mendilibar. So for now, Sevilla have managed to get Adriá Pedrosa to strengthen their defense for next season. If you look at the depth of the Sevilla squad this season, of course, many of their players are old and it's time for Sevilla to make a transition this season. The players who were brought in by Sevilla might be a cover for next season for their senior players because if the senior players are absent due to injury, of course the players who are brought in this season can show the quality they have in every game.

contrary to this, it is unlikely that sevilla can afford any major signings with the clubs financial standing and yes, getting champions league football does not change that position. it is left to see if sevilla are able to get quality loan signings, else they would struggle with relegation like the just concluded season

Sevilla should have enough funds to get quality players because they just won the European league this season and of course Sevilla will get so many bonuses with this achievement. Now the problem is whether the owner wants to spend a lot of money to strengthen the squad for next season and we know that now La Liga is also increasingly competitive which makes competition even tougher at the bottom of the standings. It's no wonder that Sevilla will experience the same season before getting out of the threat zone and before that happens Seville will have to deal with it all.

[dezoel]

I'm sure Perez still wants to find a replacement for Benzema, so far the vacant Real Madrid shirt numbers are number nine and number twenty four. I agree with your opinion, Kane can be a short term solution and Kane's type of play is also similar to Benzema if Firmino is more of a back-up player because this year he is 32 years old. while Real madrid already has Joselu and Brahim Diaz so it's possible between Vlahovic / Osimhen.

But Imo, for Osimhen himself he can only adapt after one season at the new team, if Vlahovic can immediately adapt easily to Ancelotti's tactics. But all of this depends on whether Mbappe wants to sign a deal now or next season when the contract runs out with PSG. What is clear is that Real Madrid cannot just rely on Joselu or Alvaro Rodriguez because the Real Madrid squad now needs mature players who can be a bridge for young players.

In last few days we have few good signings from Real Madrid which is trying to bring some depth in their squad which was suffering due to injuries and now having problem with the exit of Karim Benzema after fail to have positive end of dialogue with Tottenham about Harry Kane and Mbappé is also high-priced which is not in their agenda their next focus is Vlahović and Osimhen, and I am feeling from these both Vlahović is surely going to suit them because he can do things like Benzema and this is clearly good for them as well.

Right now, Vlahović is just 23 and his price tag is also not high as we have few top players which is good for the Real Madrid currently Chelsea is targeting for him but if Real Madrid jumps in this most chances they will be able to sign him and this can bring good stuff for them with long term hopefully we will have good updates about this all in coming days.

I think, Real Madrid management are still trying their best to bring in Mbappe in this summer, so that they will not regret of losing Karim Benzema because Mbappe is capable to handle Karim Benzema position very well. Based on some comments Mbappe made for the goal he scored in their international competition showed Mbappe have something that he want to achieve in the football career, but it will be difficult for him to achieve it in PSG which are part of some of the things that will make him to leave the team soon. Since Real Madrid has the money to buy potential player, I think they will sign mbappe to get their desire player that can help the team to improve higher next season.

Sevilla can but it will not be wasting money easily. Sevilla has made some movements by recruiting a new staf and player. I think that sevilla will be fully focus to face the next match against manchester city.
Sevilla is not thinking too much about how to build the team again. Its club has been winning europa league last season. There must be a lot of changes happened in the club. As far as i know that if sevilla's defender being targeted by juventus.
It needs further confirmation regarding this rumor. I hope this can be real. Sevilla is strong enough to compete in UCL but not for winning UCL next season.

Even though they have to spend more money to pursue a contract with Mbappe, this is a good opportunity for Real Madrid in the future and with a great player like Mbappe, it is very likely that Real Madrid will have a bigger chance in the Champions League because for La Liga, Real Madrid can get trophies more easily.
Moreover, Mbappe will be more dominant as a good key player compared to Kane, considering that Kane is getting older so that his performance and quality of play has slightly decreased.
I also hope with you that Mbappe can join Real Madrid to make his debut next season.

Even this all is too early because no one sure how things will be in coming days and now with their participation into Champions League they need to work on their squad which is never been easy because they are not strong in finances and can they be able to bring few players on loan or with their limited sources its never been easy but if they fail to have any improvement then surely most chances they will be again in trouble like last season because now they are going to face tough teams in Champions League and their performance in La Liga is also not good.

Now, José Mendilibar after dream win of Europa Cup trying to bring few good changes and management is also favoring him with their way, hopefully we will have good performance from them.

[bering]

I'm quite curious what steps Mendilibar will make in the transfer market later because after all, of course they also have to be able to make sure they don't get messy again in the La Liga standings. Therefore, Mendilibar should prepare his squad even better so that he can compete again in the top four in the La Liga standings. Because regarding Sevilla who will play in the Champions League next season, I personally don't have too much hope because if Sevilla fail to finish in the top two in the group phase later and will only be in third place, then Sevilla will return to play in the Europa League. Therefore, I personally don't have too much hope for Sevilla in the Champions League, but I hope that Mendilibar can form an even better squad to make Sevilla compete again in the top four in the La Liga standings.

The latest news from this team is Sevilla is officially has new sporting director Victor Orta and he has became an the replacement of Monchi who has left this team and joining Aston Villa and Victor Orta first movement is he want to bring Leeds player Rodrigo moved to Sevilla and Orta is very confident will gets this player soon and apparently Sevilla want to improved their forward lines by bought new strikers

I can understand why Mendilibar want to focus to gets new strikers this because although Sevilla has several players on that position but during last season only Youssef En Nesyri can able to performing well and about Rodrigo although Leeds has been relegated but some of clubs has noticed to his talent including Sevilla and he can be potential player for Sevilla besides that Sevilla also interested to Rangers player Alfredo Morelos and there was a rumour too former of PSG and Real Madrid player Sergio Ramos has been considers return to Sevilla

We should allow Real Madrid should rest and make their choices of players because as it seems now, some speculations are not making sense. There are some sources that claim Mbape want Manchester United instead of Real Madrid and till now, there is no any lead about the two club and for your information, Real Madrid will never and wouldn't regret leaving Benzema, look back how Ronaldo left for Manchester United and after that, Real Madrid has won couples of some trophies after that, and they don't need Mbape to accomplish more it, there are more of good potential players than him.

As United fan, Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid would be a better move to Manchester United currently, he had everything to win and eventually be the next Ballon d'or winner, all he has to do is focus and score goals, create chances for his teammates in difficult and tight situations.

Manchester United are still battling with the sake of the club, I still do not know why they've failed to accept the bid from the Saudi's. Shit really sucks. But Kylian Mbappe to Manchester United can only happen if the Saudi's get to buy the club.

Joselu is young and just scored a win goal for Spain to beat Italy in Nations League. However, he is far to be considered as a world class striker. He can improve his skills like Kane did years ago and became a world class striker but I feel he won't be able to do this if nothing really big will change his career.

I am doubtful that Joselu will be able to replace Benzema for Real Madrid as there is big differences in skills and experience of two players.

Joselu himself even spoke in an interview where the content of the conversation was more or less that he said that he was indeed not a substitute for benzema. because he knows the difference in quality between himself and the Real Madrid superstar, Benzema. But Joselu is also a young player whose career can still develop much better. One day he might even become another star player.

And about Harry Kane I think Real Madrid have given up because of the high price it cost to bring Harry Kane to Real Madrid. even though about 2 weeks ago Real Madrid asked Tottenham for a discount regarding Harry Kane's price. but nothing has happened since then. and Harry Kane's name is actually more associated with other premier league clubs, namely Man United. But Man United are also rumored to be giving up their hunt for Harry Kane if there is no price reduction.

I personally feel quite sorry for Harry Kane. he is a star player but he was locked in for quite a while at Tottenham. and don't get much credit.

[Velvet78]

This time we will be seeing a new team being added among the ones which are joining the Champions League. Real Sociedad are also going there together with the usual four teams in the La Liga. As Sevilla had a really poor season in the La Liga they focused on the Europa League and won the title. In the meantime Real Sociedad benefited from the chance to get the last spot in top 4.

Villarreal were also in this fight for a while but after starting a bad form they started to fall behind Real Sociedad. I really think Real Sociedad deserved this. Because they have been really impressive during the season. For some time they were even ahead of Atletico Madrid by a quite big point gap. 

[shogun47]

There are some new reports that are actually quite interesting to discuss in my opinion.
After Madrid finished bringing in Joselu on loan from Espanyol president Perez said that he would be the final signing for Madrid and this could mean that there will be no further additions for the striker now as they are satisfied with the current squad.
I actually find it quite strange, did they really not learn from their previous mistakes with this? even though the players who are coming now I don't doubt that but with Brahim Diaz and Joselu who are the axis of attack now are they sure about that as a substitute for Benzema for the targetman there? I personally feel this is still lacking because compared to other strikers they have chased before like Kane or Vlahovic it is clear they have more instinct and great potential than Joselu.

No way, it is June now. There is not a single reason why a club should say that this is it and over and out of the transfer game. They could say it to pretend they are not interested in buying players anymore and therefore keep prices lower perhaps, but to be serious nobody believes that anyway. There is no point in saying that they are done. If something comes up that is interesting to them, of course they would try and take an opportunity even it is an unexpected one. Joselu on loan wasn't Real Madrid's last action for their offense this transfer period. If yes it would surprise me.

Real Madrid will definitely want Mbappe to sign Harry Kane. Because right now, Mbappe is going through the best time of his career. And he is staying within the age limit to be a qualified footballer. Real Madrid will undoubtedly get a lot of good service if Mbappe is brought into the team. Mbappe can play an important role for Real Madrid to take home the Champions League trophy again.  
If Real Madrid are considering a deal with Harry Kane, it is not likely to extend his contract much. Because this English star is very behind in terms of age. But I think Real Madrid will be more interested and try to sign Mbappe.

[Luzin]

Is 33 years old young enough? I think you are wrong, this age is the end of a career when footballers are in the final stages before retirement. I think the best age is 25-30 years, that's the best period. Joselu did perform well in the UEFA Nations League 2023 semi-final match against Spain. It looks like Joselu is a good replacement, but Madrid must have another alternative. It could be Kane, Mbappe and maybe Mane.

Joselu on loan wasn't Real Madrid's last action for their offense this transfer period. If yes it would surprise me.

I agree, this is more like a continuation of Real Madrid's game aimed at getting a striker at the right price. It makes no sense to pay huge money for Kane or Mbappe, given the age of the first and the duration of the contract of the second. Of the major acquisitions from Real Madrid right now, it is only Bellingham and it is absolutely unbelievable that this will be the only purchase, since with the players who have left, this cannot even be called a strengthening.

The last 3 seasons, Real Sociedad have only been able to rank 5th and 6th and this season they were able to push up and they managed to occupy 4th place and at the same time brought them to participate in the Champions League next season accompanying Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona which are indeed already a subscriber in the Champions League. Real Sociedad must be able to show that they are not just a complementary club, but that they can become a threat to other big clubs in the Champions League, and have even become regulars. They have the potential to do it and I hope it goes the way they want and manages to go far in the Champions League next season.

I think when you consider Sevilla getting Europa as well, they will have 5 teams this time around. They will have the usual top 4 places, but then also Sevilla as well, so they will have 5 teams going there. I think not all starts at group stages, fourth doesn't right? In any case, they will be there in name until the group stages as well so a total of 5 teams is for sure.

I think it's quite important to realize that when you are handling a league that is getting this much success, you should think you are doing something right. I know that it will not be simple to compare Premier league and La Liga against each other, but I gotta say it's sometimes obvious to me that La Liga overall is better, even if City might be better than all else.

Spanish clubs are more interested in competing in the UEFA Champions League next season, and they are making critical preparations for the competition since they do not want to endanger their chances of reaching the finals. Sevilla winning the European Cup and earning a position implies they're completely prepared to confront any club, but we must remember that this is a new season, with new form from other clubs. Real Madrid has remained the club capable of excelling in the most challenging races. We have so many good teams in La Liga that will pose significant threats to clubs in other leagues such as the Premier League, the Bundesliga, and Seria A.
