La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[SquirrelJulietGarden]

If PSG decide not to sell Mbappe, they make a bad decision, because they will miss the opportunity to get income from the sale of Mbappe.
I know PSG is a rich team with healthy finances, but they also definitely don't want to suffer losses by releasing Mbappe on a free transfer.
I am optimistic that Mbappe will be sold this year, because Mbappe has refused contract extensions from PSG.

Mbappe likely reaches his limit and he won't be able to grow more in his skills. I agree with you that PSG can get the best selling price. If he won't sign a new contract, PSG will have to sell him at lower price in next season. Even if he signs a new contract, as being said, if his skills won't grow more, his price would stay at the same and might decrease when he is getting older and older.

After all, in my opinion, why is PSG holding back a player whose heart is no longer at PSG?. Even though he plays for PSG, it is possible that Mbappe will not play wholeheartedly.

Mbappe want to win Champions League and Ballon Dor so he won't feel happy at PSG. Even the club is one of the best in the Euro now, he still want to join Real Madrid, the biggest club ever in Champions League history.

Joining Real Madrid will even be worse than PSG because currently, Real Madrid are actually undergoing team rebuild under this new manager.So if he chooses to play for Madrid,then he is killing his career because Madrid is not that team we know before.Mbape have made up his mind to leave PSG,but the question is,which team can he go to,that will guarantee him a Champions league win?

I agree with you, for now (in a short time) it is very difficult to find a replacement like Ramos at Real Madrid, but I am very sure that in the future Real Madrid will find a replacement.

Btw, Have You Seen Jesus Vellejo's playing style? His playing style is very similar to that of Sergio Ramos, he is still very young and there is still a lot of time to develop his playing skills.

They've been struggling ever since they lost their backbone of Galacticos, and Zidane coming back and keeping them in the race didn't do him much justice, but yeah, I'm sure they and money will find a way.

Vellejo? Decent but he's what now 3rd or 4th choice CB even without Varane? I fear Real's just not giving these youngsters enough chances to shine.

Madrid became favorites to get the title this season. managed by Ancelotti, and Alaba wil join them will makes madrid more stronger i think. Barcelona maybe still struggling next season, and I don't think they can get the title. they are moving slowly on current transfer window, but they are still lucky since some of players agree to decreased his salaries.

I don't think Real Madrid will be the best candidate for La Liga trophy. They still rely too much on old players: Casemiro, Modric, Kroos, Benzema, Marcelo. Those players shown well in the season 2020 - 2021 but I don't know they will be able to play as good as that in the new season.
Alaba need time to connect with other defenders and if Varane leaves the club, Alaba can not fix that hole.

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid look to be better candidates and I think Barcelona will be improved more in the second season of Koeman and with some good transfers.

 Modric and Cross are already at the end of their careers, it is clear that their best years are already behind them, and they are not keeping up with young, fast players. Real has a very important resource, these are big finances, they may just have to do a good job with updating the roster, and then Real will have real chances to compete for the championship, or it will be a repeat of last season.

It's true, even though Ancelotti is no stranger to Madrid because he has also coached Madrid in the past but still, Ancelotti still needs time to build a better team. With this difficult situation, I believe that Madrid will certainly find it difficult to become a champion candidate, in fact I personally am still a little confident for Atletico Madrid. As defending champions it seems like Diego Simeone understands very well to maintain this good trend, they still have a good chance of getting back to the La Liga title.

If we compare Atletico Madrid with Real Madrid and Barcelona, then Atletico is in a good enough position. Their team was stable enough the previous season. This season they are increasing more energy. They have De Paul in the team. He’s a good enough midfielder. They have a good chance of winning the title this season too.

I may think otherwise with you, in my opinion, Barcelona have a greater chance of winning next season than Madrid, in addition to their bigger squad and the number of star players who joined this season making the Barcelona squad more dangerous next season, besides That's of course the messi factor that stayed in barcelona making the team more complete, and unlike the case with madrid today, which was left by some of its core players such as ramos and varane (still rumours) so that their team limped a bit because until now madrid had not found a replacement think alaba will not be enough to be able to strengthen the madrid defense.

[kassex]

I don't think real Madrid are in any pursuit for any prolific player except kylian mbappe, but I don't think he is leaving PSG this season, but Madrid has enough talent that they don't need an additional player in their ranks, when Real Madrid went back for zidane I really thought it wasn't a way forward for the Spanish team, and now they need a more qualified Coach than anything else, Madrid won't win a major trophy with zidane in charge.

Paris SG will definitely keep Kylian Mbappe in the team. They made very good transfers. They added names such as Sergio Ramos and Donnarumma to their squad. Mbappe's contract is one year away and we read that Paris SG is considering paying the same fee as Neymar. Still, if Mbappe wants to leave, Paris SG should sell him this year.

If Mbappe doesn't want to stay at PSG, maybe PSG will let him go and look for a new player. Since PSG has enough money they can take on a player like Lewandowski or Haaland. However, if Mbappe stays at PSG this season, he will benefit. Because, PSG has arranged the team this season with the goal of winning the Champions League

PSG is currently in a state of urgency, because Mbappe has said he wants to join Real Madrid, so it's best that PSG immediately sell Mbapppe before
his contract runs out and can leave on a free transfer. The problem is Real Madrid don't have the money to buy Mbappe, therefore Real Madrid are
now trying to sell some of their star players to get money to bring in Mbappe. So far Real Madrid are trying to sell Varane and Vinicius Jr to
Manchester United in order to get Mbappe. If both of them are successfully sold by Madrid to Manchester United, the move to get Mbappe is
getting closer. I agree that Lewandowski or Haaland are the right choices for PSG to replace Mbappe.

PSG is not going to sell Mbappe this year. They didn't just spend a lot of money on transfers in this window to let go of the best player. The main goal of PSG next season will be the Champions League and the team will need Mbappe to win this tournament.

Mbappe become free transfer player if PSG not sell him in this year because left one year contract on PSG and Mbappe have announce not any extended of new contract, I think bad choose for PSG if not sell Mbappe in this year because they not get anything next year when Mbappe left club with free transfer. Better sell mbappe right now because many club waiting for his sign and Real Madrid become his destination.

a lot can change in a year. Real Iadrid has no money at the moment They are trying to get rid of some players in order to unload salaries, but many players do not want to leave. Perhaps Mbappe will renew his contract within a year.

The thing is that PSG is in the position to make bad financial decisions They paid what, 250 million EUR for Neymar? In addition, Neymar nets 37 million or so per year? I doubt that PSG really thinks about the money. They don't care a tiny little bit.

It's certain that Ramos is gone, Alaba might come. But Alaba is a left-back. Then if Varane leaves Madrid it will be even more difficult. Of course he will be with Anceloti, but if it is true that there is no shopping for new players it is like a nightmare. Next season will probably be boring. Because until now they have not made a move to openly buy players. For barca I heard that Grizeman will be swapped for athletico midfielder Saul Niguez. Well I'm still waiting for fresh news from Madrid for next season.

This season they are increasing more energy. They have De Paul in the team. He’s a good enough midfielder. They have a good chance of winning the title this season too.

I do agree that unless ATM gets that championship high and start to play worse just because they feel like they have done what they need to and give up, then they will have a chance to win, all they have to do is comeback to win it again, which is not easy but they may do it. I agree with the idea that Barcelona is not looking great on the transfer window so far, they are still trying to keep Messi and in order to do that they are willing to sell or waive so many players, that is not really an easy task to do but even if they do it, they are going to keep Messi at best while losing many players, or they may not even get Messi which is going to be a huge problem.

Real on the other hand is in the middle of both teams, they are not as good as ATM because they were champions and getting better, whereas Real is basically a new team, they have new players and ancelotti will have to prove, either they will be even better and the best or they may become worse, it is unknown at this stage.

As the new season is getting close, I wonder what kind of a start we will see. Atletico Madrid had a great season and won the title in the last season. But in this season, things may become quite different. I expect a higher competition from Barcelona and Real Madrid this time. I guess that Atletico won't succeed in winning the title 2 times in a row. This time, I expect a big competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid for the title.

[kawetsriyanto]

Madrid became favorites to get the title this season. managed by Ancelotti, and Alaba wil join them will makes madrid more stronger i think.

As a Madrid fan, I also support Real Madrid to get the title in the next season. Ancelotti may bring good impacts for Real Madrid squad, his track record as Real Madrid coach is quite good. But it should depend on many factors, the solidity of the team in playing and the health of the players throughout the season, will have a big role.

Anyway, Alaba has joined the squad, mate. 

Barcelona maybe still struggling next season, and I don't think they can get the title. they are moving slowly on current transfer window

Not only Barcelona, but all the teams in La Liga will also be struggling. We cannot assume Barcelona to have no chance for the title just because they have less activity in the current transfer window. It is in the pandemic, most football clubs may have a bit problem in financial. Even Real Madrid is also rather slow moving in this transfer window.

I think this will be a battle between Atl Madrid and Barcelona and maybe even Sevilla this season. Real Madrid is really week this season and i dont think they can compete for the current title. They need to get a few more good players if they want to win the title

Yeah, they don't have the most chance with the squad they currently have. They are under the risk of losing Varane. For now, they need a top striker the most not to depend only on Benzema. But if they lose Varane also, they will need a good defender also. They released Ramos but signed Alaba. If Varane goes, they will have to fill his place too.

At Barcelona Messi still hasn't signed a contract with Barcelona. It's going to be really interesting if this deal doesn't happen somehow. But I suppose they will finish the deal positively.

So, I think that Atletico still have a chance for the title again. But Barcelona have strengthened their squad so they can compete really well for the title.

After all, in my opinion, why is PSG holding back a player whose heart is no longer at PSG?. Even though he plays for PSG, it is possible that Mbappe will not play wholeheartedly.

Mbappe want to win Champions League and Ballon Dor so he won't feel happy at PSG. Even the club is one of the best in the Euro now, he still want to join Real Madrid, the biggest club ever in Champions League history.

Every star player wants the Champions League trophy and also the Ballon D'or. Therefore Mbappe prefers Real Madrid which does have a history of
being the team that has won the most Champions League trophies, while PSG have never once won the Champions League trophy. It seems that PSG's
failure in the Champions League final yesterday made Mbappe disappointed and decided to leave PSG. Even though PSG are very serious about improving
their squad by bringing in lots of star players to be able to win the Champions League trophy, but that doesn't seem to be able to convince Mbappe to
stay at PSG. 

[kawetsriyanto]

Real Madrid is really week this season and i dont think they can compete for the current title.

Week or weak??
Please correct it, I think you made a mistake in writing.

By the way, how can you claim Real Madrid is weak. The season isn't started yet, you are too early speculating about this. Don't underestimate Real Madrid, they have enough power to defeat each team in La Liga, including Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.

They are under the risk of losing Varane.

I am sure Varane won't move to any clubs.
Sergi Ramos has left, they won't let Varane to leave. Except Real Madrid has signed another strong Central Defender, Varane should stay in the squad in the next season.

For now, they need a top striker the most not to depend only on Benzema.

I assume a top striker will come soon.
The most speculation is a new striker will be Mbappe. I hope it will be true.

If you look at it from that perspective, Mbappe can also become world player of the year if he stays with PSG. Because if they then win the CL trophy and he plays a big role, maybe becomes top scorer in the CL and in the Ligue 1, I am sure he has good chances for the Ballon D'or. Right now I don't see Real Madrid having bigger chances to winning the CL than PSG to be honest. The quality of the team is doubtful to me, hard to judge, but if I had to judge it I would say no, definitely not one of the favorites.
