La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Doell]

Luis Suarez shouldn't even be an option for Barcelona from now on. I think that Luis Suarez has left his most productive times behind already. I don't think that anything would change if he returns to Barcelona also. Barcelona already have Aubameyang in the end. They are just looking for a more productive and credible striker and the best name for that is Lewandowski as we are all aware now. Luis Suarez had better look for another team to join next season. By the way I guess Atletico Madrid will give a chance to Morata and that's why they have parted ways with Suarez.

Even if there is an offer from Barcelona, I don't think Suarez will take the offer and become a plan B when Lewandowski is not signed by Barcelona. Suarez maybe very interested in Sevilla if there is an offer from this club, playing in UCL with Sevilla is a good opportunity for him and staying in La Liga to end his career is the best.

It is even believed that Luiz Suarez will also refuse an offer from Barcelona and has no intention of returning to Camp Nou. It's been reported that La Liga clubs like Villarreal, Sevilla have seen their interest in the 35-year-old, and even Argentine side River Plate are reportedly intent on negotiating with Luiz Suarez. I feel it is time for Suarez to try a new experience in another league, because he has played almost 10 years for the club from La Liga and this is the right time before he decides to end his career in football.

[Furious 7]

Lewandowski is probably the right player for the Barcelona team. And he will be able to adapt himself to the Barcelona team very much. But it is not certain whether Lewandowski will join the Barcelona squad. He may even be with Bayern Munich next season. If that happens then Lewandowski is unlikely to be seen in a Barcelona jersey.

We'll see the development of negotiations between Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Indeed there are two possibilities for Lewandowski's situation, he will most likely move if Barcelona are willing to pay the amount of money Bayern want and if not then Lewandowski will finish his contract by requiring him to stay for one more season.

It might be good for Barcelona to wait for Lewandowski to be available on a free transfer at the end of next season, so it will definitely cost Bayern Munich.

These negotiations are still ongoing even though they are going quite tough.
Barcelona always try to reduce expenses and press contracts as cheaply as they can, but on the other hand Bayern remain unmoved and keep Lewandowski's price at 50 million.
Even though some time ago there was some news about 45 million there but until now things like this are still uncertain and we just keep waiting and waiting now.

I doubt Suarez will be back to Camp Nou even if he gets attractive salary after all what happened and his tears... He is quite old and it would be better for ATM to replace him and for him to get a new experience somewhere else or return to South America.

maybe Suarez can move to LAFC club for next season because he can shine more playing in a league that is not too tight than returning to the premier league or staying in Laliga. Rumors circulating that the club from MLS is interested in getting the services of the Atletico Madrid star, it looks like an offer may be on the table we will see a response from Suarez whether to accept or reject it. if he agrees maybe he will be Gareth Bale partner in Lafc attack next season.

I doubt that Suarez at a level where he should be moving to USA already, he is definitely a player that should stay in la liga or another big European league.

Okay, maybe he is not the striker for a UCL winner team type of level anymore, or maybe not even a league winner, but he could certainly play in a team that fights for UCL position, so the first 4 positions. He could go to any of the top 4 contenders in the famous 5 leagues, and he could play there with a good amount of money, not free, but not too expensive neither. If he goes to USA then his talents would be going to waste, just like how Ibrahimovic did for money, when he could have stayed in Europe during that time.

[izsara]

Is obvious that Bayern Munich don't want to lose Lewandowski. Perhaps, they still want him to play in the club next season along side with their player Sadio Mane. However, Lewandowski have made it clear that he is no longer interested in the club, and probably want to play elsewhere. Therefore, it will be unfair if Bayern fails to sell him out. He is currently Barcelona's top priority. But, I don't think Barça will be willing to pay 50 million euros which Bayern is requesting for the player.

They really don't want Lewandowski to leave and hope to keep him for another season, but on the other hand this is also quite difficult to do because Lewandowski doesn't seem to want to linger at Bayern for now.
This situation becomes quite complicated when Barcelona and Lewandowski want to immediately become a part but Bayern keep trying to get in the way and the only way if this ends is to give full clause but Barcelona are still struggling with it.

[zaki12]

Instead of being a bench warmer for the Real Madrid team, considering that the World Cup is not far away, it is better for Gareth Bale to move like an offer that has come in, namely Los Angeles FC. If nothing goes wrong, Gareth Bale will be registered on 7 June when the MLS transfer window opens.
Coming to Real Madrid with a fantastic transfer fee, Gareth Bale finally left Real Madrid on a free transfer.

I think this is also a strategic move to avoid injury ahead of the world cup because Mls is not aggressive but still quite competitive. I've never been interested in MLS, but I'm warming up for the league. I just hope Gareth Bale plays for LAFC at the same time as Zlatan with LA Galaxy.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Suarez is now about 36 years old. I don't think Barcelona will take on older players at the moment. Moreover, Suarez's performance in the last season was not good. Suarez is old enough now. Will he be able to play better now if he joins any team in the Premier League? I think he will get more injuries if he plays in the Premier League.

I think not really sure with Barcelona not give chance with old player like Luiz Suarez have been 36 years old, looking with rumor Barcelona intersted with Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich have been 34 years old right now. I think have advantage withLuiz Suarez with free tranafer and need to pay above 40 million euros for getting Lewandowski from Bayern Munich. But have different level between Luiz Suarez and Robert Lewandowski and I think Suarez not on the top level right now. Still have better performance Lewandowski than Suarez last season but Barcelona need spent much money for Lewandowski.

It is actually better if Barcelona does not pay 40 or 50 million for Robert Lewandowski and tries to get Luis Suarez for a lot less. I think he can be bought for free by Barcelona if I am not wrong. So even though the performance of Luis Suarez was not the best and compared to him Robert Lewandowski played really well in the last season I think it is a better deal for Barcelona right now to get Luis Suarez instead of Robert Lewandowski.

I believe the financial situation of Barcelona does not allow them to go for its $50 million transfer right now. I know that they will have to compromise a lot of quality if they do bring in Luis Suarez instead of Robert Lewandowski but I think from a financial standpoint it is going to be worth it.

[wiss19]

I don't know, why would he be a bad option? Lets face it, Barcelona spending a ton of money on Lewandowski like it has been talked about would be a financial trouble for them and I would advice otherwise. If they could get Suarez for nearly a free amount, they could make him play plenty of games for sure. They already have aubameyang at striker position, along with him and Suarez they would be pretty good if you ask me. I know that it is not a clear situation, and I know that it will take a while before they could get out of debt, but when they are in debt, its better to get Suarez for cheap instead of spending money for a better player. Why waste resources when you can get a cheap player that could bring in "enough". Yes Lewa would be a lot better, but he would also ruin their finances even deeper and that makes no sense.

Now after having the worst last season they are doing their best for having good current season so just because of this they are investing big amounts on their desired players. Few days back I read they already sell their media rights which are giving them 700 million which is big amount and this can settle their few financial issues as well.

Robert Lewandowski is their target for some time and now most chances we will have this good news in next few years because Bayern Munich can sell him for targeted price of 50 million and just because of this they are creating some feud with they already have Sadio Mane who can replace him, and they can achieve their required results from their new transfer.

Barcelona having Auba but with this signing they can break any defense in La Liga and Champions League which they're targets for this season and settle their financial issues.

@Captain Corporate, I also agree with this because there is no point in getting a player who is already almost 34 years old and also going to cost Barcelona a lot of money. Instead of getting Robert Lewandowski for 50 million and having only a maximum of two years of service and by that I mean two years of really good service from him I think it is a better decision to get Luis Suarez for almost nothing.

It is true that Luis Suarez is already almost 36 years old and he is also not playing very well. his last season has not been something to appreciate. But I think in the current situation Luis Suárez is the more practical decision for Barcelona compared to Robert Lewandowski. And I think if Barcelona gets Luis Suarez they will also be able to concentrate on the defensive lineup.

[bekti3]

I don't think that Barcelona should go for Luis Suarez now. He is very old now and he hasn't performed like Benzema in last season also. He scored a really low amount of goals in the La Liga. Barcelona need a solid centre-forward like Lewandowski now. I wouldn't expect Suarez to bring back his old times with Barcelona now. I mean they might go for him only if they fail in bringing Lewandowski or a top striker like him. But rather than going for him they can sign a player for a different position.

Suarez appearance is no longer productive, plus Lewandowski has never been able to be withdrawn by Barcelona to the club due to the detention by Bayern Munich who insisted on trying to maintain his position. Now Barcelona doesn't have much choice if in the end, they have to use the remaining players and not take the initiative of other players. Financial conditions are still not supportive and it is certain to be an option not to spend large amounts of money.

Suarez's performance can't be forced now. His old age and his declining productivity, especially due to an injury last season when he was at Atletico became one of the considerations that must be seen.
Suarez will not be able to compete with a fairly busy schedule and with Barcelona's current style of play. I would prefer if they were still there for Lewandowski but if they still can't then they have to look for someone younger but not for Suarez.

[Marvell1]

Real Madrid Coach, Carlo Ancelloti is the best manager I have ever seen in football. He's just calm when on the pitch despite the games he's facing. Like the games in UEFEA, the one he was losing to Manchester city in the second leg of the semi Final at Santiago Bernebeu ground. He was just mute and very discreet with his actions, unlike Pep Guardiola who was shouting and show physical signs to his players on the pitch. It's would be really hard in this time to see a calm coach like Carlo, you wouldn't even know his next action and I'm a big fan of the coach.

I firmly believe that deep down he feels the same tension as Pep, in fact I can say that Ancelotti's tension exceeds that of the Manchester City coach because his club is at a disadvantage. But he was able to handle the tension he was feeling calmly. Yes, that is a positive thing in my opinion, because it can give mentality to the players because seeing the coach can be that calm. That means the coach really believes in the players, on the contrary for the players are motivated to give back from the trust that Ancelotti gives.

Every human being feels some kind of tension under pressure and the only thing that makes a difference is the man being able to keep calm or is he flipping out like a madman. That’s the difference in character between people.

There is no denying that every person feels pressure. But it is a question of is he good enough to handle that pressure and plan under pressure very well or is he unable to do that entirely. But at the same time, it can also show fashion and love for his work as well. So, as we all know everything has its pros and cons. One cannot be significantly better than the other. But keeping calm under pressure is often the best way to handle the pressure and Carlo Ancelotti does that really well.

A very interesting thought and question is how it would have gone if they had fired Koeman from Barcelona much earlier and Xavi had been appointed earlier. I think Koeman would never have managed to finish 2nd with Barcelona under these circumstances. Barcelona was in deep trouble. But some players are in danger of running away. Barcelona obviously has to work on its financial problems, but if you lose all your star players, it will take years to build a good team. So far, Frenkie de Jong is still there.

[baeva]

Lewandowski can make a good contribution. Yes, if you say he played well in Germany you can say "Spain is a different football", but Robert also played well in the Champions League and scored many goals, so for him it does not matter in which league and against which team to play, he can adapt in Barcelona

With a tic tac scheme? I don't think so, that must long time adaptation, this is a big difference between Barcelona and Munchen using the long passing ball to Lewa. maybe a little stiff when first time playing with the strategy where he must run and move quickly to outwit the opponent. Exception if he only stands in front without picking up the ball.

Perhaps Robert is not a player who adapts very quickly. But I'm sure it won't take him very long, the first two games, or even one will be uncomfortable for him, but I think before the season in training he can already feel at ease, so I'm not worried about his game. He is a very talented player despite his age, it will be a very good acquisition for Barcelona

I've always expected this to end with Barcelona sticking to their availabile squad. They still have good players in their possession and other incoming signings that need to be registered, I think with the current players at their disposal they can still perform very well in the domestic league and also in the champions league next season. They have young talented players and also some big stars so they are good to go.

[Slow death]

Barcelona obviously has to work on its financial problems, but if you lose all your star players, it will take years to build a good team. So far, Frenkie de Jong is still there.

It is a fact that if Koeman were in barcelona then we would see barcelona being relegated, it was 100% sure that this would happen and I think that the management of barcelona had already realized that. because even before the bad results they kept keeping and trusting Koeman, but when they saw that they were on the way to relegation they had to fire Koeman. But even with the entry of xavi, the problem in the attack still continues and the defense is a disaster although xavi has improved the defense

Yes, if you say he played well in Germany you can say "Spain is a different football", but Robert also played well in the Champions League and scored many goals, so for him it does not matter in which league and against which team to play, he can adapt in Barcelona

Lewandowski will surely play a great role if Barcelona sign him. Although, he is no longer young, but, he talented and can still score many goals for Barca. His performance in the Champion League last season was quite impressive, he scored 13 goals in the Champion League last season.  While, I'm convinced that Lewandowski won't find it extremely difficult to adapt to Barcelona's style of playing. Nevertheless, it might take a little time for his to fully understand Barça pattern of football.

[jakdanyel]

We are getting interesting news these days. Barcelona have submitted an offer for Lewandowski finally seemingly. However I wonder what Bayern Munich's answer to them is going to be. They must be looking for an alternative to fill his place on one hand. But they would still do their best not to lose Lewandowski this summer. He still has one more year left on his contract and Bayern Munich can even think of forcing him to stay. I wonder if it would backfire for them too but we will see. Barcelona must be feeling confident about convincing the player at least.

[herurist]

It shouldn't take long especially with Lewandowski. Btw but before going to the adaptation issue they now need to increase the price in their proposal to attract attention from Bayern's side because indeed the transfer issue is still uncertain right now why bother about adaptation issues not necessarily he will be in Barcelona too if they don't raise the price for the clause Lewandowski.

As far as I understand, Suarez's contract with Atletico expires on June 30 and therefore no club will need to buy Suarez and the player can move to any club as a free agent. Also, as far as I know, Barcelona has already contacted Suarez about potential cooperation, but warned that he is a backup option and asked to wait until August, because now the main goal for Barcelona is to sign Lewandowski. Suarez thanked him for this offer, but still refused to wait, because then he would lose the opportunity to move to other clubs that claim him. So I think Suarez's return to Barcelona is unlikely.

When Bayern Munich held Lewandowski until his contract expired in 2023, the possibility could backfire for them I think it could happen especially when Lewandowski was convinced of his desire to leave. But as a professional player, of course, Lewandowski must be able to give his best game even though it is a little forced because his wishes are not fulfilled.
