La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

Do you want him to reduce his salary because of the condition of the team? Not all players can do that. They will have gotten a good pay like this elsewhere but decided to stay here and play for them despite their financial condition which can affect their own performance also because if there are no good players to play alongside them, they’ll all fail as a team and won’t make them happy to do better next time and be looking for means to leave the club. Barcelona needs to fix their financial crisis to be in a better position for any competition they’re participating in, the claim shouldn’t be put on any player collecting big pay or not.

So why is Frankie de Jong still not for sale? If you really want to fix the financial crisis, of course something has to be sacrificed. I think it is realistic to sell de Jong, who with his sale can provide some relief to improve the team by utilizing the sales proceeds to buy players who are desired but whose prices are still affordable. They want Nico Williams now because many rumors say that if they want to bring in Williams, Barcelona will receive FFP sanctions. Lewandowski is old, ideal to be replaced by a younger generation and suitable to be paired with Yamal. This is a consequence that Barcelona must take in order to avoid sanctions and increasingly messy finances. Totally improving finances is not a good solution, and Barcelona will not be able to do it other than improving little by little.

You can’t solve one problem and at the same time create another, because you won’t be able to do anything good for the team, but will only make the situation worse. Perhaps by selling De Jong you will be able to cover some of the debts, but at the same time the team will have a problematic position in which they will not have a good performer and this will lead to the fact that the final results for the season will be worse if the player remained in his position. So the problem needs to be solved with an integrated approach, for example, not trying to sell someone from the team, but limiting new transfers and trying to achieve better results.

The most ideal situation in solving problems without causing problems, Barcelona could sell De Jong, who burdens the club with his high salary, the money from his sale can be used to buy new players whose salaries are lower. This solution will ensure that Barcelona does not lack strength and can save costs in paying player salaries. De Jong is an important player for Barcelona, ​​but recently Barcelona also has other quality midfielders such as Pedri, Gavi, Gundogan and Fermín Lopez.

Barcelona also still has several other names ready to play, Oriol Romeu, Marc Casadó and Pablo Torre. If Hansi Flick needs someone who is more experienced and reliable, he can bring in a new midfielder who is cheaper and does not burden the club too much in terms of salary payments. Barcelona can streamline its squad by selling several players who rarely play or loaning them to other clubs to reduce the club's burden. This problem may soon be resolved after Hansi Flick finds the best strategy for Barcelona.

The problem is that Barcelona is not satisfied with just being left behind by Real Madrid so they have the ambition to continue adding players because they want to appear capable, but in reality this club is on the edge of a financial cliff. De Jong doesn't want to leave because Barcelona still has a debt to him.

Even though with the current squad, Barcelona still has a chance as long as Hansi Flick is given full trust to ensure the current squad is worth maintaining. However, Laporta and Barcelona fans raved in front of the media about their desire to bring in Williams. Imagine that after the Euros, these rumors continue to become demands that Laporta seems obliged to fulfill. Forcing the loan back? Rather than borrowing, there are 2 options, namely selling the player or staying with the current squad and giving up the ambition to bring in Williams.

Even though it can't cover some of the debt, at least Barcelona doesn't have to pay player salaries that are too high.
If Barcelona wants to solve the club's financial problems they must try to stabilize player salaries and if possible sell some of the players who have large salaries.
The effect of this option will be to make Barcelona problematic in facing competition for the title because they do not have quality and experienced players.

Another way is not to recruit new players and try to find sponsors who can cover the financial burden required. This would be much better because they would not have to sell quality players for huge salaries.
I think Barcelona must find a solution because if not this will continue to drag on and could affect the team's performance.

Real manages their payroll very wisely, they use their authority and find a middle ground so that players want to play in their team and not overpay their salaries. Perhaps Xavi's desire to sell Lewandowski was appropriate, so they could improve the payroll, which was to the benefit of the Barcelona, ​​Lewandowski is no longer as good as before but still receives very big money. In conditions of financial problems, everything matters, and you need to think not only about how to do without new transfers, but also about how to cut costs within the team, including the unreasonably high salaries of top players.

Real Madrid is known to be very clever in managing its finances, several of its star players are able to make a good contribution to the team even though the salaries they receive are not too large. Just look at the salary Mbappe earns at Real Madrid, the amount is lower than what Lewandowski and De Jong earn, as well as Vinicius, who contributed greatly to Real Madrid success last season.

Barcelona pampers its players too much with high salaries, one of the most striking being the salary received by Lewandowski. Barcelona should be wiser in managing its finances and paying players' salaries according to their standards and age. If Barcelona releases De Jong and Lewandowski, perhaps the club's spending will be much more economical and the money can be used for other needs so that the financial crisis they are experiencing does not get worse. The nominal salary that Lewandowski receives is clearly unreasonable, Barcelona should be more realistic in paying players and in my opinion the salary that Lewandowski receives should not be more than what Vinicius earned at Real Madrid.

Real Madrid has been able to maintain their financial balance even though they continue to bring in star players, so far I have never heard of Madrid having problems with their finances and that is one thing that we should praise for their ability to manage financial management so far, a large salary is actually not a problem as long as they are able to maintain a balance between the current team income and expenses, but this is different from what Barcelona did before, in fact they seem very ambitious to become the greatest club in Europe, so they continue to spend a lot of money recruiting players, but unfortunately their income cannot match their expenses, so the effect is like what we are seeing now if Barcelona is punished for their financial violations and also very bad financial problems.

But the point is, if Barcelona can accept bad results or be patient with the long process, then maybe it will make the team better, especially in financial terms. Because after all, the problem is that even though Barcelona is having financial difficulties, but at the same time Barcelona is still very ambitious to become a competitor to Real Madrid. In this way,  Barcelona continues to buy players and also pays its players expensive salaries, because Barcelona also still has the ambition to keep its expensive players in the squad.

After all, if for example Barcelona can make big changes by rebuilding from scratch, perhaps this huge debt problem will slowly be overcome. But yes, if they continue to follow their pride, ego and ambition then it looks like it will still be difficult for Barcelona to overcome the problems they are experiencing quickly.
