La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[uswa56]

Xavi has moved Barcelona in a better direction, I saw clarity in this team when Xavi took over the baton. Yes, although not completely stable, but their game has started to improve and looks tidier. Now how does Xavi apply a suitable strategy against them. For next season maybe they still can't compete more tightly in my opinion, it's just that the threat they will pose is quite real.

Totally agree with this because Barcelona will still be a threat to other teams next season with a better strategy development than Xavi, although Barcelona will also continue to fight in every game next season to win the title again and I think the result can also be better from this season because Xavi himself is still very optimistic in training the players at the Barcelona club.

Xavi has proven that he can lift Barcelona's form, after being managed by him in the second half of last season he was able to solve the problems that occurred and make Barcelona's performance last season, and now I have no doubts that next season he will give even better and also in the transfer market this time Barcelona is very aggressive in recruiting players to overhaul his squad so it is very possible for Xavi to be able to provide even better next season.

Barcelona built a really good squad this year. If they get Lewandowski, the team will be complete. In midfield, Kessie will add a very good strength. Gavi, Pedri and De Jong are also in the midfield and it will be a nice jersey fight. On the defense they have Christensen, Araujo and Garcia, this year Pique may take less time. With Alba and Dest, they have a really good back line when you look at the team. In the forward, there are Fati, Raphinha and Torres, Dembele remains in the team, Aubameyang in striker and if Lewandowski comes that will be a though choice for Xavi. Let's not forget Memphis too. I think they can play for the championship with this squad.

After spending over $60 million to get Raphinha, is it still possible for them to get Lewandowski?
In addition, Xavi has several striker options including Aubameyang, Depay, Torres and new star Raphinha. If Lewandowski comes, how Barcelona's forward line will be built between such talented stars? At first I was pretty sure Barcelona would get Lewandowski but after see Raphinha, I was a little doubtful

I am thinking the same thing. Barcelona has already spent a lot of money to sign Raphinha. Their financial condition is not good. Now they won't spend money on Lewandowski again. Barcelona will probably bring Lewandowski to the team for free next season. In addition, Barcelona now have more strikers than they need. Aubameyang, Fati, Dembele and Torres are all talented. Now there is no need to add Lewandowski to the team for extra money.

I think it's still very open for Barcelona to get Lewandowski, especially according to the latest news that Barcelona and Man United have found
a price agreement for the transfer of Frenkie de Jong. The problem is maybe De Jong still wants to stay at Barcelona, but Barcelona management
has given an ultimatum if De Jong wants to stay then De Jong must want to reduce his salary, as Dembele did. But I'm sure De Jong will not
be willing to lower his salary, so most likely De Jong will choose to move to Man United.

If De Jong is sold automatically Barcelona have the money to buy Lewandowski. Moreover, Lewandowski continued to cause problems for two days
during training with Bayern. Lewandowski reportedly always arrived late in the two days of training, this was done by Lewandowski as an act of
protest against Bayern for preventing his departure to Barcelona. So in the end I predict Lewandowski will be let go by Bayern, but of course Barcelona
must also have the money to buy Lewandowski. So De Jong's move to Man United is the first step that must be realized first, for Barcelona to
bring in Lewandowski. It is certain that if Lewandowski is successfully brought in by Barcelona, there are players up front that Barcelona must sell,
because Barcelona have too many forwards. It is reported that Memphis Depay and Martin Braithwaite will be sold if it is true that
Lewandowski is successfully brought in by Barcelona.

Barcelona is unlikely to sign Lewandowski this season. Barcelona does not have enough money. And it is difficult for Barcelona to raise the amount of money that Bayern Munich is demanding for Lewandowski. On the other hand, Barcelona has picked Raphinha from Leeds United. If they were still interested in Lewandowski, they wouldn't have Raphinha in the team now. Barcelona will probably sign Lewandowski for free next season.

It would be very interesting if Barcelona could do something like this next season. The price they're offering to get Lewandowski right now is pretty high, they really pay a lot for a football player of this age. Also, the financial situation of the team is still not very good at the moment.
But if they get such a star for free, Bayern will have done a lot of damage. I don't think they can do it

With the transfer progress Barcelona has gone so far, Barcelona has done their best to have a strong squad for next season.  Most of the players Barcelona have are very talented and for sure Barcelona will perform very well better than the previous season. I still believe if Barcelona are unable to sign Lewandowski the team will still perform very well. The talk about Barcelona buying Lewandowski from Bayern Munich has taken lots of time , and Barcelona can't afford it. Barcelona just need to move on with what they have now.

I believe that De Jong and Memphis will be shown the exit door, plus there’re reports saying that over 11 player’s in total will also be told to leave the club, and that will become clear depending on who misses their preseason tour. Furthermore the key reason to get Lewandowski is that he guarantees goals, and that can help Barcelona win trophies hence it makes absolute sense why they’re targeting him.

I don’t know about the rest of the players, but De Jong is not so easy to point to the door - he has a valid contract and if Barcelona wants to break it, they will have to pay him a penalty (in addition to the 20 million they already owe the player). I don't think they can afford it financially. They cannot forcefully sell him either, the player's agent has already stated that De Jong wants to stay at the club and he does not agree to a pay cut.

Frenkie de Jong wants to stay in Barcelona. But due to financial problems, Barcelona decided to sell Frenkie de Jong. But now it doesn't look like Barcelona will sell de Jong right now. Because I heard rumors that Barcelona would raise funds for Lewandowski by selling de Jong. But with the addition of Raphinha, Lewandowski's chances of getting into the squad have dwindled. And so I think Xavi will not accept the decision to sell de Jong.

[Altryist]

Indeed, Barcelona have a good squad at the moment and there is even Miralem Pjanic who has also just returned from a loan spell but unfortunately, with this good squad Barcelona still have huge debts which make their financial situation still not good. But yeah, hopefully with their great squad next season they should at least be able to grab some titles to get a better income from there. But even though Barcelona have a good squad as long as Lewandowski is still not part of Barcelona, then Barcelona will still be difficult to win the Champions League title.

I think that the chances of Barcelona to win the Champions League will not change whether they have Lewandowski or not. But the squard of Barcelona is now very good, young eminent players with the prospect of development, here Barcelona deserves a lot of credit, they managed to keep a strong squad of players, so there are chances to compete for the championship in La Liga. I think it’s not worth talking about the Champions League, for this you need a squad much stronger.

[1kodumtek7]

I have seen some rumours that Barcelona are likely to leave Frenkie de Jong out of the squad for their US tour. They want to reach an agreement with Manchester United by doing this. I don't know if this news is really true. Because Laporta said some time ago that they didn't want to let him go. As a result this doesn't make sense to me. However Barcelona would really make use of earning a lot of money by this deal. They paid a lot of money to sign Raphinha in the end.

Yes indeed, the presence or absence of Lewandowski does not make Barcelona have a better chance of winning the Champions League title. But at least, if Lewandowski is in the Barcelona squad next season then it is certain that Barcelona deserves to be considered to be able to go further in every existing tournament. But fortunately Barcelona have players who are royal and also, Raphina prefers Barcelona over Chelsea. But unfortunately, there are many players who are splurge for Barcelona, but Barcelona themselves don't really value legends and I only realized it after a lot of information about Dani Alves.

According to Marca, Real Madrid are interested in signing Jude Bellingham at the moment. He has been a target for Liverpool as well. However I feel like the rumour about Liverpool will stay like that for now. But on the other hand I don't feel the same for Real Madrid. As they have been quite silent for some time they might be preparing for a big move like this one. It would be a really big move because Bellingham's market value is even 80 million euros now.

Now there is no need to add Lewandowski to the team for extra money.

I don't think about barcelona's financial condition because it's out of reach, we don't know what they have outside the news about the barcelona financial crisis. But I'm more worried about how they can bring three strikers at the same time, Raphinha, Lewandowski, Dembele? Another case if Barcelona plans to release one of the strikers. I don't think Barcelona will bring Raphinha if they can get Lewandowski, as well as vice versa.

[jaberwock]

Even though Bayern Munich will want to cash in on a deal for Lewandoski, they might also consider keeping him till the end of the season. Lewandowski may be old but he can still guarantee them lots of goals if he stays, he could be what the team needs next season and might consider a signing one year contract at the end of the season. It is a 50:50 choice though but which ever way it goes should be good for the club.

There were few issues with this transfer but recently as things going into Barcelona favor most chances Robert Lewandowski is coming to Barcelona because I read on a site where Laporte already feeling positive about this transfer with they are already having big amount with selling rights of their next season, so now they are having some positive movement which is going to do good for them.

But, now all is in Bayern Munich hands how they have done this because if they want to keep him for one more season then surely no one can do anything and after end of this season he will go to Barcelona as free agent and no one can stop him for this transfer.

Xavi Hernandez will win trophies with these young lads. Love the improvement I'm seeing, I'll make sure I keep close tabs on Barcelona this season. The defense is all I'm a bit bothered about, how fast can Christensen adapt to Barcelona?
Xavi Hernandez building squad almost like the one Pep Guardiola did at Barcelona, is Bernardo Silva really been linked with Barcelona ?

Not sure Thay can win the Champions League this season, no they can't, What's more likely to be retained is the La Liga trophy 🏆
Now they have good creative player's, the right wing back has some issues to be solved,can dest really cope further since Dani Alves gone now.

[Webetcoins]

De Jong departure is only an issue that has not come true, until now De Jong is still part of the Barcelona squad. De Jong has told the media that he is still very happy at Barcelona and the Barcelona management also has no intention of selling De Jong at all. Laporta really supports and gives freedom to Xavi in ​​choosing new players who will be brought to Barcelona, ​​he has also promised Xavi that the transfer of Lewandowski will be realized soon.

Most chances De Jong will be leave, and it's matter of time because Manchester United is already having mind to buy this player but due to some contract issues it's not completing with Barcelona want amount of debit from Manchester United which is not acceptable for them but hopefully now things will be in positive way because with the latest updates Barcelona is feeling they can manage with around amount of €80m which is offered by Manchester United, and we will have this all in coming few days.

With this most chances now Barcelona will talk about their last target which is currently in Germany because he is also key for them in next season, but we have to wait for all updates about this as well. Management already give free hand to Xavi for having all his desired players, but hopefully now he will give them their desired results as well.

As it stands,Raphinha is already a Barcelona player,so all I see there is that Xavi wants to improve his front line.Xhavi really wants to do something in the forthcoming season that is the reason behind all the players he is signing now.They have Aubameyang who is scoring goals for them,and they also want to bring in Lewandowski by all means.It is good that Xavi is adding players to his team because next season will really be competitive.

Bellingham into long term plan Real Madrid and he is expected to be a regeneration midfielder players with Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga, and Aurelien Tchouameni so for the future project he is suitable because still young and last time i heard Madrid reported will not buy him this summer but everything still possible to happend because transfer window still 2 months remaining before closed and some people believe this transfer will not be happend this year because Dortmund already lost Haaland so they do not want to lost anymore their potential player

Bellingham will more likely return to Premier League in his next step that is similar to Sancho. La Liga is not good for England players and Bellingham will not bet his career in that league and in a very competitive club like Real Madrid.

Camavinga played too impressive in end of last season when he got chances from Carlo Ancelotti. I think Camavinga is a better version of Pogba. He can support defense better than Pogba and connect better with a whole team. In addition, he is more ready to play at whatever position and tactic that can be helpful for a whole team. He is not too selfish like Pogba.

Tchouamemi, sorry I don't know about this young player. I knew Real Madrid spent big transfer cost for Tchouameni and they had reasons to do this. Very curious to see how he will get a position in Madrid and how he will play in his first sesson in Bernabeu.

Yes, this makes sense if you have to compare who they deserve to recruit. Now they have found a deal with a player other than Lewandowski which they have been eyeing for a long time. But in the end it looks like they will really give up on the Bundesliga's best striker. They have done their best to sign Lewandowski, but then again they now look like a complete flop.

[Lordhermes]

Real Madrid were superb last season with their performance,winning their league and the champions league was something worth their effort for success.Benzema was really instrumental to their success,and I hope he will replicate that same form this season because Barcelona and Xavi are out to compete fiercely for the tittle next season and the champions league as well.And with the kind of players they are recruiting and are planning to sign as well,they will be able to do something good this season.But I know Madrid are prepared for all this,they have advantage because they already have a solid team,they are not building now like Barca.Lets see how the league will be like in the coming season.
