La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[OcTradism]

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.

Within next few seasons, Harry Kane and Mbappe can provide similar contributions for Real Madrid but in longer term, Mbappe will be better because he is younger and has a longer career ahead than Harry Kane. So far I did not read any news that Real Madrid want to sign with Harry Kane, only news about their interest in Mbappe. I know with Real Madrid, they can complete transfer deal very quickly and they can shock all of us.

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.

Real Madrid really want to sign with Mbappe in this summer even they have to pay a transfer fee to PSG which is not cheap. If PSG are too stubborn, Real Madrid will give up and wait for a  next summer to get Mbappe or they even can watch Mbappe to move to another club.

It's time for PSG and Mbappe to decide, where Mbappe wants to play and what transfer price is acceptable for PSG.

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.

Both the blaugrana and Los Blancos are getting to know new talents who will most likely be good replacements for their most important players. Barcelona is also pursuing young market stars; it's a brilliant strategy that they're putting into operation, and it's making a fantastic contribution to the club. Vitor Roque is a young prospect who needs more time to develop and become a top player, nevertheless he is a potential player. Xavi Hernandez has objectives for young athletes; he's here to help them develop their cognitive abilities from infancy to perfect mature age.

Both the blaugrana and Los Blancos are getting to know new talents who will most likely be good replacements for their most important players. Barcelona is also pursuing young market stars; it's a brilliant strategy that they're putting into operation, and it's making a fantastic contribution to the club. Vitor Roque is a young prospect who needs more time to develop and become a top player, nevertheless he is a potential player. Xavi Hernandez has objectives for young athletes; he's here to help them develop their cognitive abilities from infancy to perfect mature age.

Xavi not only wants to bring in young talent from other teams from a different country, but he is also happy to get some young players from Barcelona's academy who is basically a player of Spanish blood. If you look at the current composition of Barcelona's main players, they always have several academy players who have made it into the main squad. This strategy always benefits Spain because they will get some great players who will contribute to Spain's success at the international competition level such as the World Cup and UEFA Nations League and others.

Xavi could really be a successful coach if he is supported financially, but sadly he hasn't had that at Barcelona so far. Barcelona could be a great team again and once again a great challenger for a prestigious European title, but it's clear Xavi will have to be patient and adapt his squad well.

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.

Real Madrid's potential signings of Bale, Modric, and possibly Kane bring excitement, showcasing their adaptability to the team's style of play.
The transfer of Rudiger to Manchester United could impact Real Madrid's defense, relying on Alaba and Militao as primary options.
With the departure of Benzema and Ronaldo, Ancelotti's team is set to focus more on the attack, creating an intriguing season ahead for Real Madrid.

The two young players you mentioned have the possibility to become important figures for their respective teams, but they really have to work hard to break into the main squad. Both Real Madrid and Barcelona are likely to field both players next season especially after both are registered with La Liga, that could be in 2024.

I don't know how good the two Brazilian strikers are, but they seem to be the future strikers of their respective teams. Together with Endrick, Real Madrid will have 3 Brazilian strikers next season. I hope that the duet of the three Brazilian players can really bring Real Madrid a lot of success, but something different can also be expected.

So far I did not read any news that Real Madrid want to sign with Harry Kane, only news about their interest in Mbappe. I know with Real Madrid, they can complete transfer deal very quickly and they can shock all of us.

for now Mbappe and Harry Kane are reliable players who have very good talent and it's only natural to always be associated with a big team like Real Madrid. but I support what you say that Real Madrid only wants young players who have the long term to strengthen all formation lines.
it is not surprising that Real Madrid neglects not to try to target Harry Kane because on the one hand, even though his performance is very good, this age that is almost old is not very suitable for the long term, except for Mbappe who is still very young. we can see a number of examples, such as Messi and Ronaldo, who are old enough to choose to leave Europe because they realize that for a high price no one will sign him in a European team except Saudi Arabia.

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.

According to statistics Vitor Roque has better figures over Endrick but I don’t think that will determine the fate of both players. The club they both play for and their individual efforts and hard work going forward will make the difference. It will be really nice to see a new rivalry rise from this two players, the kind of rivalry we experienced with Ronaldo and Messi will make sense if replicated between this two.

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

All in? Is that true? Real madrid will not be stupid enough to get mbappe for such a price. The club gives mbappe a chance as long as he will able to leave from PSG with free agent. Perez will not even approve the club to spend non sense amounts of money for mbappe.
Real madrid is in safe position now. The club just need to prepare popcord and watch PSG & mbappe's drama. Mbappe makes PSG confuse with his behavior. He is also acting like he has the greatest power in the club.
Signing mbappe for €180 from monaco is a big by PSG. let's see how PSG push mbappe to leave from the club.

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.

It will be exciting to see either Mbappe or Hary Kane in a striker role for Real Madrid, but I don't believe either of these players will be released to join another team this season. PSG and Mbappe have not agreed to his transfer, and Tottenham has also not agreed to let Hary Kane leave. According to the news, I hear Bayern Munich made an offer to buy Hary, but Tottenham rejected it because the sum was too low, and because of how I see it, they don't want to release him that's why they rejected the money, Real Madrid might continue to fight to get mbappe since, in my opinion, if mbappe decides against playing for Paris Saint-Germain the following season, they will sell him for a premium price. If real Madrid have the money, they will undoubtedly sign mbappe.

Real Madrid is a team that has a great plan, and I think they are preparing something beneficial to sign mbappe. I prefer mbappe than Hary Kane because real Madrid is the kind of team that mbappe should play for and also show how good he is, and I think the team will win more champion league if mbappe joins them.

[speeder]

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 ?

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.

As far as I know the Saudis are trying to get Mbappe to their team with the highest price. I think Real Madrid will fail to spend more money than Saudi. Again, Real Madrid is not willing to lose this talented player in any way. Real Madrid only gives importance to young players. Mbappé and Harry Kane are young players with experience. Such an experienced player, if linked with Real Madrid. Real Madrid can develop themselves again

He did very well to take him, he's young, he can grow a lot as long as he lets him play
If he took him to keep him on the bench he did a huge bullshit, might as well buy him and lend him making him play and improve
if you don't play, you don't improve

Real Madrid are always the best at finding young talented players. Real Madrid don't go after buying good players they go after making good players ie Real Madrid are star makers.  All of the talented young players Real Madrid have signed so far have been successful signings for Real Madrid.

Endrick is another surprise name for Real Madrid because Real Madrid has already signed a contract with this talented player from Brazil. Maybe this talented player will join the Real Madrid camp from 2024. Endrick will be a successful striker for Real Madrid.

[Jody.Drummer]

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.

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.

Therefore, all discussions and a lot of news about Mbappe have always existed until now because if in the end Mbappe was silent and still complied with PSG's wishes and enjoyed all the facilities that had been given, things like this would not happen but because Mbappe is now like a rebel, PSG will also try to take advantage of course.

Actually, for Mbappe and Madrid themselves, there is no really convincing statement from Madrid that they want to bring back Mbappe and Mbappe also did not say that he wanted to be in Madrid, it's just that when a lot of controversy occurs even now, such as the struggle between Mbappe and PSG meeting a new round, it is certain that now it will drag Madrid into the upheaval.

Real Madrid have a very good school, so they have every opportunity to create talented players, but this can take years, and this can be done when the team has two strong forwards, but in a situation where they need a striker, because Benzema left the team, then you need to act and look for an already formed player who can immediately take the place of an attacker in the team.

[shogun47]

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.

That is one aspect to mention here, but also don't forget that Mbappe is a businessman as well. He is as much a businessman as he is a soccer player because when he announces that he will not extend his contract with PSG, the intention is to signal to all interested clubs to now join the competition to bid for him. At the same time he is raising the pressure for PSG bosses as well as they know this is the only moment to make some money selling him. Mbappe made that statement publicly only out of self-interest, not because he wanted to respectfully let everyone know about his future plans . Mbappe is quite greedy.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are really both scouting Brazilian players continually and discovering really great talents there. For example Neymar came from Santos and Vinicius Junior came from Flamengo to the La Liga and made us watch great football. Therefore Brazil is like the second home of these teams and I don't see any other team being able to compete with them about signing such players there.

I heard that Tottenham and Manchester United also wanted to intervene Vitor Roque deal by the way and they even offered an amount near 100 million euros. But the amount doesn't seem realistic to me much. I don't feel like any of those teams would spend that high amount on him. However he still chose Barcelona as he was wishing to sign for them already.

In the absence of Karim Benzema, Real Madrid definitely need a quality main striker, so they are not giving the responsibility of the main striker to any young player. Mbappe has already discussed with Mbappe to join Real Madrid, Real Madrid and Mbappe have also agreed to sign a contract with Real Madrid, but Mbappe cannot join Real Madrid at the moment as Mbappe has another season's contract with PSG. Real Madrid would be able to make one of the most successful transfers if Karim Benzema replaces Real Madrid.

[rendravolt]

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.

So far I did not read any news that Real Madrid want to sign with Harry Kane, only news about their interest in Mbappe. I know with Real Madrid, they can complete transfer deal very quickly and they can shock all of us.

Proportionally Mbappe will clearly be a long-term project like Cristiano Ronaldo when he was at Real Madrid and maybe when he is over 30 years old he will start thinking about his next future. As happened with Arda Guler's transfer, it proves that even though Real Madrid was quite late, they were able to complete this transfer quickly while silencing their rivals who had already targeted this player. I can't wait for Real Madrid to do the same for Mbappe this summer, even though we all know how difficult it is to bring in Mbappe after going through a long process of seasons. But at least the tension between PSG and Mbappe has made Real Madrid's chances of being able to sign him much bigger for now, of course Real Madrid wants a fairly low fee.

Real Madrid would be able to make one of the most successful transfers if Karim Benzema replaces Real Madrid.

I totally agree with your stance on the need for Real Madrid to find a perfect replacement for Karim Benzema in the striking role at the club and that they must do before the commencement of the new season so that they can still remain competitive like or more than they were before the French man's departure.
The club's effort to sign Kylian Mbappe I think did hit the rock immediately Paris Saint Germaine's management came to know that Real Madrid is having a secret agreement with the player. PSG has put the player on the least of players they're gonna export this summer and that'll be to the highest bidder. Real Madrid still got a chance to keep the forward but that is if they can outbid any other club that's interested in Mbappe

The two clubs that predominate in La Liga are already known. , dominating for some time now even  Madrid showed a lack of unseriousness this season if not they would possess league victory they had chances than Barcelona and be that one of my favorite players is in Real Madrid, Benzema but now has gone to Saudi which is best since he has done his best has a player at Real Madrid, and most of both Madrid and Barca have Brazilian players and I don't blame them, people from brazil are raw talent when it comes to football and their players have a very beautiful record. 100 million for roque The question now is will you want to spend such an amount just to sign him?
