La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Doell]

Dani Alves will no longer be a Barcelona player next season.
He has decided to leave to prepare very well for the upcoming world Cup.
Marcelo has also left as the most dedicated player in Real Madrid.
Two great players from the Brazilian national side

Two great fullbacks of their generation who achieved the biggest that there is to achieve. Their longevity is too much as well, they spent atleast 15 years as a top tier fullbacks. Hopefully, Madrid and Barcelona are able to replace their talisman adequately

Real Madrid, which has many players and has no financial problems, is still able to become the best club in La Liga even without Marcelo, indeed this sweet man always gives many surprises and is very good at playing. Different to Barcelona not have Dani Alves for next season, it will be weakened in defense, besides that there is other bad news circulating that Pique's problem is not finished which will complicate things.

Different to Barcelona not have Dani Alves for next season, it will be weakened in defense, besides that there is other bad news circulating that Pique's problem is not finished which will complicate things.

For Real Madrid and Marcelo this is special, especially for his long service, so it is very natural to lose this player. But on the other hand it is true that in the meeting there must be a separation and now Marcelo is too old and there needs to be regeneration to make the game normal and Madrid do good.
Marcelo can indeed become a legend there but indeed he must also be aware of his age now and his decisions are actually quite good in my opinion.

As for Barcelona, it seems that the players don't want to have their wages cut back after several seasons of being cut again and again.

Dani Alves will no longer be a Barcelona player next season.
He has decided to leave to prepare very well for the upcoming world Cup.
Marcelo has also left as the most dedicated player in Real Madrid.
Two great players from the Brazilian national side

The Brazilian duo who have served their respective teams for a long time may soon leave this season and make the Qatar world cup the last edition of the world cup for them where at an age that does not allow them to say goodbye to their respective teams. such as Marcelo who will leave Real Madrid and also Dani Alves who is rumored to be leaving the Camp Nou, but the dedication they show is extraordinary.not only bringing their respective teams to excel in the domestic and European arenas but they deserve to be called legends at their respective clubs. -each

Actually in this case Dani Alves was good he left at that time and when he came back last season this would not bring any results and indeed Barcelona's condition was also quite difficult so even though he didn't want to but it would be better if he left again.
As for Marcelo he was a very good wing-back but his prime is now over so there really is no reason to stay and the era of Madrid defenders Pepe, Varane, Marcelo and Sergio is all over now and they will be remembered.

[Igebotz]

Dani Alvez will become a free agent in a few days after Barcelona decided not to renew his contract. The club is in a financial mess right now, and this is the best they could come up with. Dani spent the majority of last season on the bench, and he wanted a short-term contract to prepare for the upcoming World Cup in Qatar, but the 39-year-old will now look elsewhere.

Vini Jr's contract with Real Madrid has been extended for another four years with an increased salary, making him the highest paid player at the club.

[ILuckyGuyI]

I'm happy for Vinicius Junior to extend his contract for four more years. I believe that he is one of the most important players of Real Madrid from now on. He is still too young but he has already started to do a very big work in the team and I think that Benzema has played a really big role in this. He wasn't this much effective before Benzema started to have an incredible season like this. He helped Vinicius Junior shine and Vinicius has become a very valuable player after. I hope that he can continue to improve himself here.

[jaberwock]

Maybe he decided to stay in PSG because of three reasons.

PSG gives him too high salary and more importance role together with bigger power in the club.
He saw a future that PSG will win Champions League and he will be a hub of PSG success.
He saw that Real Madrid are facing with ageing issues and they don't have good plan to handle it in near future. So if he joins them, he will waste a few seasons when Real Madrid rebuild their team.

I think he had good decision for his career. Stay in PSG three more seasons. If they succeed, he can sign a new contract. If they fail, he can join Real Madrid and three years are long enough to assess how Real Madrid rebuild their team.

The money part is the only one that matters for him in this case. I mean real could deage as well, they have many young players nowadays, and Mbappe could have grown up with them and win something, even as quickly as this year again. Or the fact that PSG "may" win UCL in the future, so can Real as well?

The only reason was money and nothing more. The deal is 120 million dollars signing bonus, and 60 million a year salary for 5 seasons all guaranteed. Do not tell me that Mbappe could have gotten anything even remotely similar from any other team in the world? No team has that kind of money, only PSG had it, and maybe Newcastle nowadays, but we all know he wasn't going there anyway.

[MonsterV]

Many had expected and possibly hoped that Mbappe would make the move to Real Madrid. Last season I wouldn't do it if I were him, as PSG seemed to have a lot more potential than Madrid. Now the roles seem completely reversed. Madrid have won a lot including the Champions League 4x in the last few years, and PSG have never won the title once. They were also good for Messi and lost to Munich in the final. If Zidane is PSG coach, there is a good chance that he will stay. I don't know if Mbappe wants to go for the big money or if he wants to win something with PSG.

This is something good for Vini and for Madrid because they have their own advantage for this.
Madrid clearly needs talented young players like this to navigate the season and on the other hand Vini also needs Madrid to stabilize his performance because even though individual skills are important but a suitable club is also influential for the growth of a player especially he is still very young.

[TelolettOm]

Dani Alvez will become a free agent in a few days after Barcelona decided not to renew his contract.

It is the right decision to not renew his contract since he is already 39 years old, it is too old age for a Barcelona player. Barcelona has Sergiño Dest as the right-back, so there is no problem to let Dani Alves goes. If Barcelona needs the substitution, they still have Moussa Wagué.

Vini Jr's contract with Real Madrid has been extended for another four years with an increased salary, making him the highest paid player at the club.

He deserves to get a bigger salary and gets an extension contract. His performance is awesome and he becomes a left-winger that has a big role in Real Madrid squad. If he gets the highest salary, it makes sense since he is the player who has the highest market value in Real Madrid squad. I don't think it is a problem and won't bring a bad impact on Real Madrid squad.

What Real Madrid did was correct, extending Vinicius Junior's contract had to be done immediately. Because the extraordinary appearance shown
by Vinicius Junior will invite the interest of other teams. So extending the contract is a step to prevent Vinicius Junior from moving to another team.
After all, for Vinicius Junior himself, accepting a contract extension with Real Madrid is something that benefits him. Because he is still very young,
Vinicius Junior can still develop even better and it is proven that Real Madrid has made him develop very well. Because if he move to another team,
Vinicius Junior does not necessarily develop into the great player he is today. After all, Real Madrid is one of the best teams in Europe, so there is
no reason for Vinicius Junior to refuse a contract extension. I am sure Vinicius Junior will win many trophies with Real Madrid.

[kawetsriyanto]

I think you have other reasons besides the value of the contract proposed by PSG, maybe I think the reason is because of Zidane, Rumors say Zidane will soon join PSG as a new coach.

It may be true. Mauricio Pochettino is rumored to leave and Zidane is expected to be the next PSG coach. However, it is not easy to ensure Zidane manages PSG, he isn't a typical coach who is easy to negotiate with.

Dani Alves was very worried for his future in Barcelona because his contract will be ended at the end of this month but until now Barcelona still hasn't offering him new contract ~

I think it is clear already that Barcelona won't extend Dani Alves's contract and he already announced his departure. It is wise enough to not continue Dani Alves's contract because he probably almost retires. Barcelona needs a young right-back, who has the age below 30 years old. Dani Alves is 39 years old, which surely isn't the ideal age for a footballer.

The rumor has been lasting many months. Maybe we are going to time when rumor turns to real action.

Pochettino is a good coach but he needs achievement like Tuchel in order to upgrade his level to Tier 1 coach. Now he is closely to Tier 1 coach but a little bit more improvement from himself and luck to get trophies. Maybe PSG won't give him time.

Zidane is a Tier 1 coach from all great things he did for Real Madrid. I think Zidane is fluctuating between club and national coach position. There is rumor that PSG will allow him to co-manage PSG and France team if he signs a contract with them. It is a very strange offer I have ever known.

I'm sure Real Madrid will be able to replace a bigger player than Marcelo for next season, although in general Marcelo's dedication to Real Madrid is very long and big because he is a great player in his position so it's only natural that his abilities are remembered by Real Madrid. But for Barcelona I have a little doubt that I can bring in a player who is greater than Dani Alves because Barcelona's current condition is very different from Real Madrid's current condition.

Sure, 39 years is retirement. He is a good defender. But the current age may be that he will find it difficult to compete. This decision actually also gave consequences because Barcelona had to buy new players. The problem right now is the state of their money. They don't have much money and there is still a lot of debt. They sold De Jong, but they haven't obtained a deal yet.
I read, if Barcelona are interested in Cesar Azpilicueta, from chelsea. But he's 32 years old maybe not young but experienced and still good for another 2 or 3 years. As for young players, maybe it's worth the price. If they want to buy players who are already ready then it will probably be more expensive.

Marcelo will be recognized as Madrid legend especially his achievement and loyality for Madrid and for the  replacement of him i'm sure Ancelotti already thinking about it but last season Ferland Mendy has did a good job in Marcelo position and i think he had impressive performance during play as wingback but besides that Madrid probably will looking for another players to covered Mendy position just in case if someday Mendy performance decrease and the names such as Antonio Rüdiger or Marcos Alonso linked to them but indeed Alonso isn't young anymore and Madrid have to find young players in that position for regeneration

But for Barcelona I have a little doubt that I can bring in a player who is greater than Dani Alves because Barcelona's current condition is very different from Real Madrid's current condition.

Although Barcelona will lose Dani Alves, on the other hand the Barcelona defense still has experienced players such as Pique, Jordi Alba, Samuel Umtiti, and several young defenders Xavi. So I don't think Barcelona are too worried about Dani Alves leaving. Meanwhile, Real Madrid will be more influential because Marcelo is one of the mainstays in Real Madrid's defense, while Alves has just returned to Barcelona, so maybe it will not have too much influence on Barcelona's defense.

Sergino Dest and Sergi Roberto can fill Dani Alves position in Barcelona defense. Dani Alves role is very important at Barcelona, ​​he is a great player with a lot of experience and one of the best defenders Barcelona have ever had. Dani Alves physical strength and sharpness are decreasing as he is almost 40 years old, Dani Alves is one of the players who can play at the highest level at an old age. Barcelona also already has an alternative to fill the right-back position, Cesar Azpilicueta is considered to be a suitable replacement for Dani Alves.

Laliga fined complaints against Manchester City and Paris Saint German popularity known as PSG to UEFEA for breaking FFP rules. If you recurred, back then in 2014 UEFEA also made implement fines and restrictions on the both teams for spending in the transfer window which they pleaded and their ban was unlifted and overruled. Financial Fair Play rules was implemented by UEFEA inother to stop and prevent Club teams from over spending on transfer window More than they earn. All these was gotten after an unforeseen deal PSG offered Kylian Mbappe all in the name of contract extension. Mbappe is the highest paid player in PSG and Ligue 1 in general, which he would have been in Real Madrid currently. While City also Hijacked Erling Haaland deal from competing Contenders, Madrid and Barca.

Something that becomes more serious is the complaint on behalf of La Liga which means, this is not about complaints from just one football club in La Liga but can be said as a whole. But even so I'm a little curious if for example in this transfer window Madrid manages to get what they want, such as successfully recruiting Mbappe or Haaland, then it looks like complaints like this will not happen. But if Manchester City and PSG also strike a balance which means getting players by releasing some of their players, then it might still be something that is fair. I'm just waiting to see if this case will continue with a ban or something like that, or maybe just the media bringing this up but no action being taken.

I think, Barcelona managements are preparing to bring more new talented players to fill some position so that the team will perform well in next season. Dani Alves is a good player well recognized in Barcelona team in the areas of assisting players to achieve goals at the end of the match. I believe, Dani Alves will really demonstrate well in this world cup because his country will like to feel his performance by helping the country to achieve this season world cup title. I think, Real Madrid has many talented players they can use to replace some of their players  that are preparing for world cup competition.
