La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[lalabotax]

Talking about Mbappe and Madrid is like a tug of war because indeed seeing from the current conditions, even Madrid must want this player but they are still hindered by prestige, especially before they were also shamefully rejected.

Yes, for some reason, both Real Madrid and Mbappe themselves have always shown interest in each other for Mbappe to Real Madrid. However, as we have seen in previous seasons, in the end, Mbappe still stayed at PSG for several reasons. I do not know whether this season he will actually move to Real Madrid or not. PSG itself seems to be playing with this condition. This is probably a happy situation for them.

Against the background of the fact that Tottenham wants 150 million for Kane, 200 million for Mbappe looks like an adequate amount 
As far as I understand, PSG are trying to sell Mbappe before July 31st in order not to pay him a loyalty bonus (lol), so there is a possibility that we will see some real news very soon.

Mbappe wants to make PSG lose money for his actions, namely wanting to stay but doesn't want to sign a new contract. This matter must be resolved more quickly by PSG if they don't want to lose money against Mbappe. Well in this month we will see news about Mbappe because PSG really can't be patient with Mbappe anymore

Yes, 150 million will interest teams who have strong finances to recruit Mbappe. It could even be that PSG will set a target of 200 million for Mbappe's release clause. On the one hand, bayern munich still has not succeeded in convincing Tottenham at 80 million, Levy wants to release Harry Kane at 100 million. This is truly a great transfer with a release clause breaking the record for the most expensive transfer.

150 million is still too much for most clubs. Just imagine, which other team apart from Real Madrid can manage to fork out that amount minus causing an imbalance in their Finances? Manchester United? 

I like what Real Madrid are doing right now. Let PSG deal with the monster they created. Real Madrid gave them a very good offer last time around, and they thought they didn't care about the money. Let them suffer the consequences.

The new striker duel for Barcelona against Real Madrid starts next year between Vitor Roque and Endrick, both of whom are Brazilian players who were successfully signed in this year's transfer window. If we look at the previous statistics of these two players, of course they are not much different, Vitor Roque is superior in terms of goal productivity and Endrick is superior with a small number of matches. On the other hand, we know the La Liga regulari which allows players to join a club when they reach 18 years of age.

However, for Vitor Roque, he should have been able to join for the 23/24 season but this did not happen because Barcelona was still subject to FFP sanctions so Vitor Roque would start joining Barcelona in the 24/25 season and vice versa for Endrick because he is still 17 years old so he can joined the Real Madrid squad in the 24/25 season. So it is highly anticipated for this Brazilian wonderkid duel, but indeed we will still see them after the next one season is over.

Endricks has been a poor form for a while but I believe it's just temporarily.  He is good and has a lot to learn.  Committing his future to Real Madrid when he won't be joining them soon was a wrong move.  Signing for a club like Real Madrid put a lot of pressure on you even if you don't play  for them yet. 
I've seen him okay a couple times and I know he's got it in him.

Victor Roque is also a player I have watched a couple times and I absolutely love him. Barcelona have got a gem in their hands and if handled properly, he could turn out to be a new Suarez for Barcelona.  With Lewandoski most likely leaving soon,  Roque would be front man for Barcelona.

Yes, for some reason, both Real Madrid and Mbappe themselves have always shown interest in each other for Mbappe to Real Madrid. However, as we have seen in previous seasons, in the end, Mbappe still stayed at PSG for several reasons. I do not know whether this season he will actually move to Real Madrid or not. PSG itself seems to be playing with this condition. This is probably a happy situation for them.

Real Madrid and Mbappe already showed interest since the last season. Real Madrid even almost signed him, but it failed due to some reasons. The biggest reason was PSG offered special authorizations for Mbappe in the squad and wants to give him bigger salary. So, it makes Mbappe decided to stay in PSG for a more season finally. But in the current transfer window, again there are too much rumor about Mabppe's transfer to Real Madrid. We know that Mbappe doesn't want to extend his contract, so everyone speculates that He wants to leave PSG soon.

Florentino Pérez said they plan to sign Mbappe for the next season. But considering the current situation of Mbappe, I assume Pérez may try to sign him now. Moreover, Real Madrid still has no a top striker, they only signed Joselu. I think Joselu isn't enough to compete for UCL title.

[youdacapt]

When Benzema is no longer at Real madrid the club's performance has decreased slightly but that doesn't mean it will be so bad as we have seen lately Real madrid are eyeing players who have almost the same performance as Benzema.

You are very correct; Real Madrid performances without Benzema was a difficult and bad one last season because they struggled to score goals in those game and had more draws than losses too. With Benzema off to Saudi league and Real Madrid signing academy graduate Joselu; it means the frontline would still struggle without a goal scorer. Will Real Madrid get a hit man? or target man ?

[Jody.Drummer]

Yep, we will probably just wait for the 2-week deadline that is always said about the ultimatum given by PSG to Mbappe but indeed things like this are always the same but now it is almost approaching 2 weeks but there is no further news about this and the news of Mbappe and PSG is like floating on the surface.

Currently, there is so much confusion about Mbappe and PSG that it is even difficult for us to distinguish which news is really real and which news is just to exaggerate the problem just for the enthusiasm of readers because when talking about Mbappe at this time, media traffic will definitely go up.

I can tell you that I am excited myself because the whole fan world is watching these dialogues and want to know where Mbappe will be playing next season. I felt that this two week deadline given by the PSG boss didn't sound very convincing because why would Mbappe listen to that and make a decision only because the PSG wants it several weeks before the market closes? Mbappe has a valid contract and he can do whatever he wants. Nobody can force him to leave and that is what the PSG boss implied when he said that Mbappe will leave the club this transfer period if he doesn't extend the contract. But what if Mbappe decides to go nowhere but stay. There isn't much PSG can do about it.

In terms of conditions it is true, but on the other hand this is also a form of risk actually because we know Mbappe is one of the special players at PSG, especially with the conditions he does have privileges for the club so that even though he can do whatever he wants and his contract is valid, things like that will not be useful if there is a statement that he will leave when his contract expires because he does not want a contract extension.
This will spark a spark that will actually get bigger because PSG is also a businessman and he doesn't want to give Mbappe away for free.

The problem with that, it almost doesn’t matter how much money Real Madrid is ready to spend. They will probably not get another quality striker like Mbappé. That’s why they are really interested to bring him into the squad. Real Madrid was really interested to bring Mbappe in even a few seasons back when Real Madrid probably was ready to offer 200 million for him. I don’t know if they are that much interested in Mbappé still to this date. But it is true that Mbappé is going to be the best value for money right now.

And a lot of people are saying a lot of things about the transfer of Mbappé. But it is actually hard to understand what is going on and what will actually happen without any official announcement. I remember when the same thing happened last time people were saying that Mbappe already has a verbal agreement with Real Madrid. But in reality, it was nothing like that. So I think we should wait for the official statement instead of spreading rumors about his transfer.

Against the background of the fact that Tottenham wants 150 million for Kane, 200 million for Mbappe looks like an adequate amount 
As far as I understand, PSG are trying to sell Mbappe before July 31st in order not to pay him a loyalty bonus (lol), so there is a possibility that we will see some real news very soon.

Mbappe's situation is now very complicated. People want to clarify this issue. I wish Mbappe would take a step towards this. I would like to see him next year with the Real Madrid squad. I don't know if he wants this. Psg wants to sell it as soon as possible.

This will spark a spark that will actually get bigger because PSG is also a businessman and he doesn't want to give Mbappe away for free.

Thus PSG will feel betrayed by Mbappe in terms of his actions, which do not want to extend a new contract with PSG. Instead, Mbappe actions made PSG furious and felt that everything they had given him had gone unanswered. So in a situation like this, PSG will definitely include Mbappe name on the sale list this month or next month because PSG doesn't want to lose Mbappe for nothing next season.

For Real Madrid they can take advantage of this opportunity to sign Mbappe earlier than waiting for his contract to expire because PSG will not keep him next season. Apart from that only Real madrid seems to be Mbappe next destination as only Real Madrid can give him the UCL Title if he joins in this transfer window.

I think Real Madrid will definitely get a striker for the main squad before the transfer window ends. My nominees are Mbappe, Harry Kane. If they can get one of these two names, a great staff may have been formed. Real Madrid wants to go back to the good old days. They have to spend a lot of money for this.

I agree with your assessment that Real Madrid is likely to bring in a new striker before the transfer window closes. Both Mbappe and Harry Kane are exceptional players and would undoubtedly strengthen the team's attacking prowess. However, it's important to consider the financial implications of such transfers. While Real Madrid is known for making big signings, acquiring players of that caliber often requires a significant investment. Real Madrid's ambitions to return to their successful past might indeed require substantial financial resources. It will be interesting to see how the club navigates the transfer market and if they can secure one of these talented strikers.

A great player like Garet Bale came in from Tottenham including Luca Modric and made a huge impact. It is evident that Real Madrid has a style of play that the players signed from Tottenham easily adapt to and if Harry Kane were to sign for them, it will be one great blend of addition to Ancelloti's team.

It is also interesting to know Manchester United are keen on signing Antonio Rudiger from Real Madrid leaving Alaba and militao in defense. The German defender saw alot of bench time last season and looks like he might be condemned to same fate this season, if he fails to transfer out.

Seems like Ancelloti's team is going to be more attack focused in the coming season with their interests in the transfer signings. They are now faced with no more Benzema or Ronaldo with the magic boots.

Barcelona have completed Vitor Roque signing finally for a 40 million euros transfer fee. He is only an 18-year-old centre-forward right now. He must be seen as a wonderkid that Barcelona allocated the money they can spend this summer for him mostly. However this transfer won't happen now. The deal is going to be completed officially and he will join the team by July 2024.

It is similar to what Real Madrid did for Endrick from Palmeiras. Not exactly the same though because Real Madrid have no choice other than waiting for him due to age issue in his country. These are all investments into their futures and I wonder which one of these players will develop more.

In my opinion, if you look at Real Madrid and Mbappe's pattern, I think Mbappe will come to the Bernabeu this summer, there is still about 1 and a half months remaining in the transfer, so the opportunity is quite big for the following reasons:

- Mbappe started talking about PSG which made the atmosphere for the PSG team not good and created a trigger for PSG management to do something.

- Rumors of PSG management panicking with Mbappe's actions. It is also reported that Mbappe was dropped from PSG's pre-season tour and removed from the team this season.

- The most important thing is that Real Madrid itself still has 1 number of players, namely number 9 and that means there is still a possibility that players will come.

- It is enough to be a sign that Real Madrid does not have loud rumors regarding other forwards besides Mbappe's name and this indicates that Madrid's management is monitoring Mbappe's situation, if the time is right Madrid will move as much as possible.

- Of course Real Madrid is currently looking for the right substitute for Benzema if necessary to find a successor to CR7 as a wild goal machine. And I see that there are no players like that on the market apart from Mbappe.

When Benzema is no longer at Real madrid the club's performance has decreased slightly but that doesn't mean it will be so bad as we have seen lately Real madrid are eyeing players who have almost the same performance as Benzema.

Benzema left Real madrid at the end of last season, and the club have not played any match since then because the new season has not started, so we cannot know if their performance will be better or worse. Benzema is a legend in Real madrid but he has helped the club achieve a lot by giving his best, and he left at the right time when he is already 35 years old, Real madrid will replace him and they will even play better next season.

I agree with you, we can only acertain the performance of Real Madrid when the season begins because right now they are yet to play any match since the departure of their then hit man Benzema. Going with current players been signed by Madrid coach Ancelotti, I think Benzema will be missed because of his incredible performance in front of goals but I believe it will only be for few matches before they get to believe in their new players again. Until we witness the performance of Real Madrid, I can't tell if they will perform well or not.

I's unlikely to happen. Bayern is unable to pay what totenham wanted. The fact that if totenham is offering a new contract for kane with a bigger salary. that proves that if totenham tries to defend him from another club. Levy has no intention to sell him.
He wants kane extend his contract in totenham as soon as possible. The price of kane's release clause is very high. I doubt if bayern can afford it. Bayern is now preparing third offer for kane but i think totenham gonna reject it again.

I would like to see kane play for bayern but it may only become a dream that will never come true. Im aware if totenham doesn't wanna let kane to leave.
The club tries so hard to defend him from bayern. Bayern is unwilling to spend €100 millions for him. It makes the chance to get him to become even smaller for bayern.

As far as I know, Real Madrid has long been out of the contenders for the purchase of Harry Kane. Tottenham's desire for Kane to extend his contract is quite understandable, because the player's contract ends in a year and therefore he either needs to be extended so that he does not leave as a free agent or sell. Therefore, now a lot depends on the position of Kane himself. And Real Madrid, in my opinion, made a bet that Mbappe will move to the club already in this transfer window.

[slapper]

Still, there are many posts about Mbappe and Real Madrid, I think Real Madrid is a great team and they have a good enough financial situation to easily hire another forward instead of waiting for Mbappe if he really likes to leave PSG and play in Real Madrid he wouldn't accept to extend his contract with PSG in the last time when Real Madrid was waiting for his to sign his contract.
 

Isn't this Mbappe to Real Madrid situation fascinating? Madrid should focus on winning. We're talking about one of the world's most prestigious football clubs, which will go all-in for a player they want. It's about pride and competitiveness, not just talent. The second match against Manchester City still hurts, so why not bring in Mbappe? Mbappe's absence won't stop Madrid. Because that's what they do

You said clearly. Real madrid have more potential for Mbappe because they are a big team and I don't think Mbappe will refuse a second offer from real madrid. Mbappe disharmony with PSG was the right step for Real Madrid to make their first official offer of this transfer window to PSG. But other than that there has been no further news where we see that PSG will make a final decision on Mbappe future.

I think Benzema departure is still a gap that has not been overcome by Real Madrid in the center forward sector. So Mbappe is the perfect fit to fill that gap. At this time, we cannot confirm whether Real Madrid will move faster or are still waiting for the right moment to make this big transfer.

Of course Real Madrid pulled out of the Harry Kane competition as they didn't want to go under the knife for players starting old enough at an unreasonable fee, therefore the rumors didn't last long. I think it's the right decision for Real Madrid to let go of the hunt for Harry Kane and choose a young player considering that Los Blancos' squad is now filled with 80% young players. Mbappe's name is still very strongly associated with Real Madrid and the journey between the two parties is likely to continue until this summer ends or we will even see Real Madrid finally get Mbappe next year as a free agent.
