La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[EdenHazard]

What happened in one year, Barcelona's financial situation fixed? What did I miss? They couldn't even sign Messi last year and now all of a sudden they can spend 40-50 million on Lewa and 35 million to Raphinha? I'm not sure if Raphinha worth 35 million Euro or if he's the ideal signing for Barca but I know Barca need to sell some players before making big transfers. If they sell Frenkie de Jong for a good price these transfers also can happen. Laporta said he doesn't want to sell De Jong so this makes the situation even more confusing.

Barcelona's financial condition is always rumored to have never been good but they basically get some money from sponsors and other businesses and that might be ignored. I think it's good to hear that Barcelona are brave enough to make high bids on players like Lewandowski and Raphinha, it has told us they might be able to do it regardless of how their financial condition is reported in the media.

So far Barcelona have managed to cut the salaries of their players and now every player will get a lower salary. Honestly, I salute the Barcelona players, they are willing to contribute and are willing to cut their salaries just for the benefit of the club in the long term. It's a big sacrifice from the players for their team while there are other players who are willing to leave just because their demands for a salary increase are rejected by the club.

Even if they got a fresh money from new coming sponsors ... it would still requires a thorough money management as they are in a deadline day both the debt deadline and transfer deadline.
There is something to pay immediately to cover up the club operations , they are in stuck progress with lack of achievements.

They are still in a tough and complicated situations despite they have money added into their banks.

According to the latest news related to him seems Barcelona won't permanently Adama Traore status and it is confirmed officially and now he has return to Wolves to train again to faced pre season matches so Adama Traore will not being an Barcelona player for next season and after loaned from Wolves he has impressive debut performance but after March seems he cannot play as Xavi expectation so Barcelona has decide to ended loan duration

I read this and in fact he has now left Camp Nou and is at Wolves again for next season.
Even though he is a good player but it seems he doesn't fit very well at Barcelona after 2 tries he still failed there this case is the same as Lukaku now.
If in comparison I actually see him playing better at Wolves than at Barcelona.

And in the case of Adama Traore, Barcelona still loan him to Wolves indirectly Barcelona still expect something from Traore. With the minimal contribution of this player, I think it would be more profitable if Barcelona sell him to Wolves to increase the possibility of Barcelona getting more competent players.
In addition, there are reports that Barcelona are interested in Brazil players Raphael Dias Belloli or Raphinha. But this player has a market value of close to $50 million, will Barcelona get the right results if they manage to bring in this player?

You are a little wrong here. Adama wasn't on loan because it was Barcelona who borrowed him from Wolves and now he's back at his club How could Wolves buy their own players lol.
Getting Raphinha now seems impossible for them especially for now their rivals Chelsea with better finances.

He has been sent back to Wolves and has resumed training as a Wolves player.
Adama was quite an interesting player last season when he was with Wolves but indeed for Barcelona he was not very suitable and actually this reduced the quality of Adama again in my opinion because last season actually many people wanted his services but decided to go to Barcelona which actually made his career dim again because he didn't play well there.

I see in some media barcelona have to spend at least $35 million to get Raphinha
Besides that, with Barcelona's plans to sign Lewandowski and some other star issues, Barcelona's chances of signing Raphinha are very slim. And barcelona are not the only ones interested in Raphinha so I think leed united will charge a pretty high price

If they sell Frenkie de Jong for a good price these transfers also can happen. Laporta said he doesn't want to sell De Jong so this makes the situation even more confusing.

But fortunately Barcelona is currently the same case as Lewandowski, reportedly Raphinha also really wants to play for Barcelona and even the offer submitted by Chelsea can be said to have been rejected by Raphinha. Instead of moving to Chelsea Raphinha said it would be better to stay at Leeds and wait for Barcelona's finances to recover at least until next winter, I'm just amazing they are not pegged or tempted by money because they are willing to be patient to be able to play for Barcelona.

Barcelona is the club he want since from kids, but according to what I heard Leed's asking price for the winger was not less than 60 million euro. Barcelona finances this time have to be economical to buy players, next season is also uncertain so it's likely that Raphinha will still hang on, even though his interest in Catalunya has been very long, this player must be sincere.

I talked about the Raphinha deal so soon like I was seeing a guaranteed move to Chelsea for him. However the recent news show that Barcelona are very likely to steal the deal all of a sudden. He is willing to join Barcelona right now as it seems and Chelsea can really fail in this race. It would be a big disappointment for them after bringing the deal to this point. But there is nothing they can do while Raphinha himself isn't thinking of joining them. However I wonder if Barcelona have given up on their target to sign Lewandowski because they will spend a lot of money for Raphinha already.

In that case it's much more sensible to sign Robert, I can't say he will be more useful than Raphinha, but it's a much easier fight here because not many clubs are running for Lewandowski. Who knows though, maybe they will sign both players?(Although in that case they will have big problems with finances, although even now things are bad). After all, they sold de Jong for 65 million, what's the problem with buying Lewandowski with the proceeds? There will even be 5 million left over.

It seems that De Jong is still going to stay with Barcelona. Strange, because they can use that money they could get for him. I think Manchester United would eventually be willing to pay around €90 million. Then they are still in debt, but you can pay off a lot of things. De Jong would now even receive a salary reduction. Apparently Xavi sees a great future for de Jong, because he has not played very well in recent seasons. real madrid will look at it all with laughter, they have a strong squad and I don't expect many players to leave there either. Especially Benzema should stay.

De jong bid with Manchester United have become a lengthy one because it had lasted for weeks and still yet, no confirmation have been concord not even the player personal Terms have been meet. Barcelona boss, Xavi might keep Frankie till next season if united fail to win hik over. The main problem I'm seeing in the deal is that Frankie De Jong wants to be featured in the champions league games next season rather than European league games.

I see that Barcelona president Laporta has already made a statement about the Frenkie de Jong topic. He says that they don't intend to sell him now and he is happy there also. Barcelona seem very determined to keep him but it looks like there are some issues with his salary now. In this financial condition their job might be a little difficult but they should do their best not to lose strength in the end. There are so many news all around like he will still leave but it depends on how Barcelona will act as of now.

It is still vague whether Barcelona are going to be able to complete the agreement with Bayern Munich for Lewandowski. Like you people said Bayern Munich have already rejected Barcelona's third offer too. This must be really annoying for Barcelona as they would like to finish the deal as soon as possible. However it doesn't seem like this process is affecting them negatively right now too. Because they are going for their other targets like Raphinha on one hand.

Bayern Munich are really serious about not selling out their star players anything less than €50 million. Lewandowski is concerned as Bayern best player. While, Barcelona are currently having financial issue, and the oonlt way they can possibly bring Lewandowski to Barcelona is by selling out their players in order to raise funds. This is a big problems for them. However, I think they will probably go for Raphinha, if Bayern choose not to accept their offer.

Of course this makes Man United even more crazy, this is because Ten Hag really wants him to be at Man United. I also saw the news on TV that he was actually comfortable in Barcelona. Laporta's statement may be reality or just Barcelona's way of making more money. But if many clubs give up maybe it will be a problem, because they will not get the money to cover the financial crisis. In addition they also want to buy Lewandoski and this purchase could fail if De Jong remained at Barcelona.

The player are pleased to staying in Barcelona and both Xavi and Laporta favouring him to stay since Frenkie did quite match Xavi's expectations, it would be a loss for all of them if they didn't make an agreement, and another way of mismanagement from the club, back then it was Messi, now it could be Frenkie. If all parties acknowledge the financial issues, and its effect on solely their own side, I'm positive that Frenkie will stay.

[emrecemsan]

I have also started growing doubts about the Frenkie de Jong deal. He started being likely to stay which would be for the benefit of Barcelona. If there are really issues with his wage they can solve this problem one way or another. Barcelona shouldn't lose one of their crucial players this easy while they are broke. They should just focus on not losing an important player and improving the current quality of the squad. Manchester United might be unsuccessful about their attempt as a result.

Manchester United wants him to strengthen their midfield after selling some of their midfielders, including Pogba, while Barcelona wanted to sell him due to a misunderstanding, which I believe has been resolved, and now Barcelona wants to keep him. United's best bet is to make another bid for a midfielder.

[RealMalatesta]

I think barcelona will still try to get him because at this club they get a very large injection of funds so it will be very capable if they take Robert Lewandowski, from a player perspective he is very accepting and wants to go to barcelona, currently only Bayern Munich is making it difficult to let him go because I think it's very natural that when he loses a very professional player as a main striker it will be difficult to find a player like this again.

How would they get a big injection of funds if they get Lewandowski? Jersey sales? I really doubt the the cost would be lower than the profits. I believe that the best thing we could have right now would be no lewandowski at all, keep Aubameyang, and then run it another year with the same season.

It will not be easy, it will take a while for them to get a championship and they could end up barely in top 4 this season as well if things do not go according to the plan. But, they would be making a profit and they would be able to remove some of that debt and would be able to get some financial freedom to do better next season which is what they should do instead of going worse.

Barcelona expects him to stay, Laporta clearly stated it. If Barcelona really wants to make money by selling him, they won't make a complicated negotiation with Man United. I guess Ten Hag will fail to sign Frenkie De Jong, Laporta's statement indicates that Barcelona won't lower Frenkie's price, even possibly increasing it. I think it is time to end the negotiation with Barcelona and try to look for an alternative. Ten Hag still has enough time to look for another top midfielder.

In addition they also want to buy Lewandoski and this purchase could fail if De Jong remained at Barcelona.

Yes, Barcelona seems to fail signing Lewandowski since they have no money. But they don't really need a new striker since they have Aubameyang and Depay, 2 top strikers are enough for Barcelona attacking line.

Actually, this can't be called a failure either because there hasn't been any statement from either side indicating that the talks are still ongoing.
But in this case, I'm actually quite sure that Manchester United can bring De Jong even though it still takes time now, but with Barcelona's current condition I'm pretty sure that sooner or later De Jong will wear the uniform of MU next season.

At the moment Barcelona does not want to sell Frenkie de Jong. Frenkie de Jong has adapted very well to Barcelona's match strategy. But Barcelona needs money. If Barcelona wants to sign Lewandowski, they will have to sell de Jong to finance them. I look forward to seeing what Xavi decides to sell to this talented midfielder

Actually, not much depends on Barcelona at the moment. What matters most is what decision Bayern Munich will make. Lewandowski has a contract for another year, so I suspect that it is either a huge contract for Lewandowski for him, or ,

Barcelona have not been able to raise the 50-million euros Bayern Munich is asking for the release of the prolific striker. And Robert Lewandowski has made it clear that he want leave Bayern for Barcelona. It would be better Bayern Munich accepts an installment payment of the price tag from Barcelona instead of insisting on a one time payment. This because even if they force Lewandowski to remain in the club till the end of next season, they might not get the best from him. It seems Barcelona manager Xavi is loved by most players because majority of his target signings this season are insisting to move to Barça by all means.

Actually Bayern did try to prevent Lewandowski from moving to Barcelona, even though Bayern had already got Sadio Mane, it looks like Bayern
are not willing to lose Lewandowski. Therefore Bayern put a very high price if Barcelona wanted to buy Lewandowski, Barcelona which has
unstable finances, of course objected to the price that Bayern wanted. After all, Lewandowski's contract is only one year away, and also Lewandowski's
age who is 33 years old makes Barcelona object to buying Lewandowski at a price that is too expensive. Negotiations are still ongoing, I hope
Bayern's management can allow Lewandowski to leave, because it is not a good thing to force players who have no desire to play at Bayern anymore.
What happens next is that Lewandowski's performance will be much lower, because he is not happy.
