La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[DanWalker]

It seems to me that De Jong will be a complete idiot if he stays in Barcelona. Firstly, in Barcelona they offer him a ridiculous salary. Secondly, Barcelona's crisis is far from over and what's the point of wasting your golden years on this club? At United, he will have a better chance of showing himself and continuing to grow as a pro. Given that Barcelona have already considered selling him purely for financial reasons, I would not say that the club treats him with respect and counts on him in the long term.

from here we can know which players only want money and which ones have a great love for a club. Honestly, I really respect de Jong's decision because it wasn't an easy decision, many people also ridiculed him for this decision. In the midst of the financial crisis that is hitting Barca, Barca is lucky to have De Jong who is quite loyal even though he is still negotiating about his salary at Barca.

De Jong has told Barcelona many times that he still wants to play for Barcelona, ​​he has also emphatically rejected offers from Manchester United who want to bring him to Old Trafford. Di Jong loyalty to Barcelona is unquestionable, he is willing to have his salary cut to save the club finances. Barcelona's officials must make big decisions to maintain the club's financial balance, the arrival of Franck Kessie on a free transfer and interest in signing Bernardo Silva from Manchester City further strengthens rumors Barcelona will soon sell De Jong. On the one hand, Barcelona profited from getting Franck Kessie without having to spend money, while on the other hand Barcelona had to lose a valuable asset that was very loyal to the club.

It is actually amazing news that Frankie de Jong is not leaving Barcelona. Obviously, it is not a popular decision. Even his own supporters are not very fond of this decision. I know a lot of people are going to roast him because of taking this decision.

Right now staying in Barcelona for a player like him really does not make any sense if I am being honest. But the club is trying to do better and get better players on the team. I am not saying that Barcelona is going to be one of the best teams in the world going into the next season but Barcelona is going to get better eventually. And de Jong's decision of staying in Barcelona should be appreciated by every Barcelona supporter and also the team.

Everyone involved with Barcelona including Xavi Hernandez who plays the role of coach is very happy with De Jong's performance since joining from Ajax Amsterdam. Manchester United's interest in hijacking De Jong apparently made Barcelona uncomfortable, thus making Barcelona's management immediately prepare a strategy. Barcelona deliberately set a high price for Manchester United to withdraw from hunting De Jong, but Manchester United did not easily give up chasing De Jong.
Manchester United, who have wanted to strengthen their squad since the arrival of Ten Hag, have made De Jong their main transfer target. De Jong has also refused to move to Manchester United and is willing to have his salary cut because he still wants to play with Barcelona. The high loyalty that De Jong has is extraordinary, to be able to play with the club he loves, money is not everything for him.

After Barcelona third bid for Lewandowski was rejected by Bayern Munich, it looks like Barcelona are already at a red light to pursue Lewandowski's signature, moreover Barcelona have reached a 60 million Euro deals with Leeds United for Raphinha. The money that Barcelona get (if they manage to sell De Jong to Manchester United) will be used to bring in Raphinha. Barcelona have also received an offer of €23 million for Memphis Depay, but it has not been stated which club wants to hijack Depay from Barcelona.

Raphinha is also still doubtful about joining Barca (besides the high price, Dembele is also rumored to be extending his contract with Barca). It's still a secret which team made the offer for Depay because of the rumors circulating so far that Xavi didn't include Depay in the pre-season training plan.

It is actually amazing news that Frankie de Jong is not leaving Barcelona. Obviously, it is not a popular decision. Even his own supporters are not very fond of this decision. I know a lot of people are going to roast him because of taking this decision.

I'm sure a lot of fans will appreciate De Jong's loyalty, we'll see until the transfer market closes so that all these issues can be stopped.

Andreas Christensen move to Barcelona after his contract expired with Chelsea. The blues didn't seem to extend his contract since it's was a new system under Todd Boehly's and that's was the reason Christensen have to leave. The free agent deal will be valid until June 2026, we would see as things will go for Andreas who might find difficulty in starting Barcelona games. He's a defender, but one thing he need to put in mind that, laliga is not like Premier league where if you're not in a better shape, they would still use you, over here in Spain, onced you're not fit. You will be drop out of the squad.

Now the problem is last time Barcelona did not start the season well at all. They actually started the season very poorly and if they can somehow start well this time they will be able to give Real Madrid a closer fight compared to the last season. I am also excited about the new Real Madrid Jersey. I hope it will fulfill my expectation if not exceed it.

I see that worry running around here now because of Barcelona's success last season who started the season so badly but managed to end the season in second place. The thing that makes me believe in Barcelona is, they even managed to beat Real Madrid at home with a score of 0-4 even though Barcelona was not doing well at that time.

After several players were signed in the transfer market, then I hope Barcelona and Real Madrid will fight better in Laliga. I wish Xavi success this season and he will probably work for the fans.

Barcelona want to release Frenkie de Jong just because they are going through a financial crisis, when it comes to performances of course Frenkie de Jong is still very good and he was still Barcelona's mainstay in the midfield last season. but the price agreement with Manchester United has not met a match I think if it has reached a price agreement it is likely that Frenkie de Jong will leave Barcelona. now we just have to wait for the time in this transfer market.

I saw on a news that United of Manchester is ready to spend 56.2 million for Frenkie de Jong. This is a huge amount. Although Frenkie de Jong is an important midfielder for Barcelona, since Barcelona is in financial crisis, Barcelona should sell Frenkie de Jong. Looks like this deal will be done and we'll see de Jong on the old Trafford soon.

If Barcelona sell frenkie de Jong it will generate good amount of money for them for sure, but Frenkie de Jong is a very good player that Barcelona needs to keep against next season.  But if Barcelona can sell him to replace him with a good player that is more better than him, then it is fine, their is nothing to loose.

Yes thats true, I also believe if Barcelona were not in this current financial situation they wouldn't be thinking of selling Frankie de Jong this  cause they need him now and will find it difficult finding a better replacement for him and that is why they are still reluctant to sell him for a price lower than the price placed on him. Clubs will be looking to exploit Barcelona financial situation and buy their palyers at cheap prices

Barcelona announced their new signings. Franck Kessie and Andreas Christensen joined the team without paying a transfer fee. Players whose contracts expired in Milan and Chelsea were free agent. Barcelona made two super transfers without paying any money, that's great news for their economy. If Lewandowski also comes, this team will be the strongest team in La Liga again. One more transfer can be made for defense. Midfield is pretty strong now.

[ShowOff]

So here are two new faces at Barcelona this season who were brought in for free from their respective old teams. It seems that Barcelona are hunting for more free-transfer players in the market because they don't have much money. But signing both "Kessie and Christensen" is still a pretty good choice considering both are still productive age for a player.

The arrival of these two players is expected to help Barcelona's defense and midfield this season and I really hope they become important players at the club from their first season. Christensen may be plotted as a replacement for Pique who is already quite weak at defender, while Kessie is expected to help Busquest more rest throughout this season. If De Jong stays then I think Barcelona's midfield will be good enough for this season where De Jong - Pedri - Kessie are expected to make the team more balanced in midfield.

I was surprised when AC Milan did not give a new contract to Franck Kessie even though his performance last season was quite impressive with AC Milan and was able to present the Scudetto title. Maybe Barcelona are very lucky to get it especially without having to spend money. kessie is a very strong central midfielder with good ball control and a very accurate passer. We will wait for De Jong decision whether he wants to stay with Barcelona or choose to leave this summer. if he stays maybe kessie is the right partner in guarding the midfield with Gavi/pedri.

I have heard like Milan couldn't register Kessie to the team for some reason. But it doesn't make sense to me. Because he played for them last season in the end. His performance wasn't bad too therefore I would expect them to prioritize him for that position again. It looks like Milan didn't want him at the team anymore and just released him. Barcelona were really fast about going for him and finishing the deal after he became free agent. Kessie would strengthen their midfield more.

[Furious 7]

So will Barcelona reject the offer of €80 million made by Manchester United?
I don't think a club as big as Barcelona would do something like that, especially when we talk about salary, increasing De Jong's salary will only increase Barcelona's financial burden. In a difficult situation like this Barcelona need to reduce the club's financial burden not add to the burden with a salary increase system and will cause controversy by only increasing the salary of one player

In this case, I haven't seen any news about those who actually refused because talks about De Jong are still being carried out even though there is no agreement there.
Actually, I still hope that Barcelona doesn't make this too difficult, especially with their current condition, which is still quite difficult from a financial point of view. but apart from that it is possible they also have their own views for De Jong and want to keep it up to the end.

This is what Barcelona is looking for:

Of course this is far from being 100% true. Barcelona got ride from some wages but they still have to go easy and not pass the limit with all new signing and potential ones eventually.
As you see, De Jong is not in, because his departure is very high the next season.

[emrecemsan]

Wasn't the news about Frenkie de Jong denied? I've see people discussing things that led to Joan Laporta's statement that they weren't going to let Frenkie de Jong go?
Barcelona have get Aubameyang, are they still worried about the striker?
There is no denying that Frenkie de Jong played quite well as a Barcelona midfielder, I think selling him and signing a striker, doesn't that weaken Barcelona's midfield?

There are still various news about Frenkie de Jong's situation now. Sometimes we hear like he is joining Manchester United soon but sometimes it is just the opposite. Maybe they would still sell him if they reach an agreement. Barcelona have Aubameyang, yes but they still want a solid striker like Lewandowski too. Their job is really difficult about that deal though. Bayern Munich might manage to keep him still at the end of the transfer window.

[D-law]

Xavi won't seize to amaze me. Same things done by Guardiola at Barca are been reppeated.
I have seen a news about Ronaldo going to Barcelona how true is that.
Barca President and Ronaldo's agent are currently in talks. Let's see how that goes.

My guess is that barcelona is looking for a backup funds to clear off the debts at least a piece of it.

So they will not have to sell their rising star de jong , there is plenty of time though till the transfer window closed , both parties seems to be aware of each situations.
De jong to manchester united is stil a 50/50 move for me.

[baeva]

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.

Actually there is nothing certain about the Frenkie de Jong deal yet. They are just said to have agreed upon that fee for now. But after that Laporta said that they didn't want to sell him and were trying to make him stay as well. He said that de Jong was happy about playing for them. In this case Manchester United 's job will be difficult for sure.

I think the player himself said he was happy to play at Barcelona. He only scored 6 goals in his two seasons at Barcelona, but he has plenty of game practice, he played 37 in his first season at Barcelona and 32 in his second season, so it's definitely not about game practice, there is enough. Maybe it's about wages, which Barcelona are actively trying to cut for many players

[nurilham]

I was surprised when AC Milan did not give a new contract to Franck Kessie even though his performance last season was quite impressive with AC Milan and was able to present the Scudetto title.

Agree, it is surprising that AC Milan doesn't want to extend his contract. Franck Kessie has a big role in AC Milan success last season. He is one of the key players on AC Milan Midfield. AC Milan loses one of the top midfielders, they must regret it because Kessie has a big chance to succeed in Barcelona. I'm optimistic that Kessie will be Barcelona main player.

Maybe Barcelona are very lucky to get it especially without having to spend money. kessie is a very strong central midfielder with good ball control and a very accurate passer.

Yes, Barcelona is very lucky to sign Kessie with a free transfer status. They didn't spend much money but got a top midfielder. It is the same as when Barcelona got Aubameyang, signing a free transfer player with top quality. It is something quite rare, Barcelona is very lucky. Now, having Kessie in the squad, Barcelona midfield line becomes stronger.

I read this news and I was shocked, because if by chance cristiano ronaldo were to play in barcelona, barcelona fans would be demanding a lot from cristiano ronaldo, that's because they would be comparing cristiano ronaldo and messi. but it would be nice to see how cristiano ronaldo would do at barcelona, he is a player who has no difficulty adapting to any team, and at barcelona it would be no different and from what i understand, he is looking for a team that has clear goals, and xavi could give him what he wants

You are correct christiano Ronaldo playing for Barcelona will cause comparison between the former Barcelona start Messi.  It is just better Ronaldo go else where, a place where Messi has never play for before  .

Now, having Kessie in the squad, Barcelona midfield line becomes stronger.

It's not that AC Milan doesn't want to extend the contract of Franck Kessie, but it's Kessie who rejects the offer of a new contract offered
by AC Milan several times. Because AC Milan offered a salary below Kessie's request, both parties decided not to continue working together
anymore, and AC Milan let Kessie move to Barcelona for free. It's really disappointing that AC Milan didn't want to give Kessie the salary
he wanted, even though it was Barcelona who was experiencing a financial crisis that could offer the contract that Kessie wanted.
AC Milan should also be able to provide the salary that Kessie wants if they are really serious about keeping Kessie. Even though as you said
Kessie's contribution was very big in helping AC Milan win the Serie A trophy, big mistake for AC Milan to let Kessie go. I'm sure Kessie will be
successful with Barcelona, and it is predicted that Kessie can replace the role of Frenkie De Jong who will soon move to Man United.
