La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

Really surprised to see Raphina is now a Barcelona player, I must say I thought Chelsea were going to sign him at all cost, I must say for a team like Barcelona who many news has said they are in Debt, they have really done a great job in the transfer market ~

Previously, I think Raphina isn't interested to join Barcelona and Chelsea is almost to get a deal at that time. But when I heard a rumor that Raphina seems not to join Chelsea, I have speculated that he will go to Barcelona. I don't know why Raphina finally decides to join Barcelona, but he probably has a dream to join it since he was a kid. I assume he actually will get a bigger salary in Chelsea. But he prefers to join Barcelona because Barcelona is more famous.

I don't know if it's official or not but it's been reported that they have reached an agreement and Raphinha will now have a test at Barcelona.
This is done for Chelsea due to the fact that it was Barcelona who dared to pay Leeds 58 million euros or even 60 million euros if the add ons were added there.
This indirect way also shatters Lewandowski because I feel Barcelona's money is running out.

While thinking that it wasn't all about money for Bayern Munich it seemed like money actually mattered for them. Because there is news like Lewandowski is most likely to join Barcelona side as Bayern Munich are ready to accept their final offer. It is going to be a 50 million euros plus deal between these teams as it seems. Lewandowski has wanted this to happen. After this transfer Barcelona will add a huge strength to themselves in the league and the Champions League both.

Raphinha has been officially announced by Barcelona and introduced at Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper with Joan Laporta as club president.
Raphinha's contract until 2027 with a release clause of 1 billion euros, Barcelona again added new players, after previously Barcelona managed
to bring in Franck Kessie and Andreas Christensen which were obtained for free. Raphinha's performance is indeed extraordinary with Leeds,
therefore Raphinha has become a bone of contention for many big European clubs. But in the end it was Barcelona who managed to get Raphinha,
because from the start Raphinha was more interested in joining Barcelona than Chelsea or Arsenal.

Regarding Lewandowski, it seems that Barcelona have not given up, therefore Barcelona are still trying to sell Frenkie de Jong to Man United,
so that Barcelona could have the money to buy Lewandowski. So Lewandowski still has a chance to move to Barcelona, after all the transfer market is
still open until early September, there is still time for Barcelona to get Lewandowski.

I think when he decided to go to Barcelona because there was no other choice and there was no more time than he had to be unemployed without earning extra money this season he preferred to accept that, Hopefully when he comes to Barcelona he can make a good contribution and can work with the team that is already there as well as possible.

Despite Barcelona recent financial challenges due to the covid19 pandemic, it seems the team manager xavi still want the best for his team, recently Barcelona have signed some few players to help strengthen their squad next season, and also trying to bring lewandowski to the team. Perhaps it seems lewandowski will be a possible deal for the laliga side, cause it's well cleared they are not giving up on the deal, they are ready to do what it takes to strengthen their squad next season. With the addition of lewandowski, no doubt Barcelona will be looking more stronger next season, cause xavi is trying to build the team back to it former standard.

[izsara]

Real Madrid made some signing quick then Barcelona take all the attention until now while Sevilla and ATM being very shy in this transfer window.
Until now, ATM got Niguez and Morata back from loans, they brought Lino a left winger and Suarez is no longer with the team, he will most likely move to USA.

I also see that Atletico Madrid in this summer window are not very active in hunting for star players to strengthen the squad for next season. even though their finances if we see there are no rumors that they are experiencing a financial crisis like the one experienced by Barcelona. Moreover, next season they will not be strengthened by one of their stars like Suarez because the contract period has expired. but Diego Simeone did not move actively to find another sticker to fill the void left by Suarez. whether Diego Simeone will rely on Morata with Griezmann up front.

But in this case Morata also seems to be still uncertain, especially in this case even though Atletico have lost Suarez but it seems they don't really need Morata at this time.
On the other hand, there is a new rumor this time that has become quite hot which says that Juventus will make a loan option back to Morata.

I don't know if it's official or not but it's been reported that they have reached an agreement and Raphinha will now have a test at Barcelona.

It is official already, dude.
Please read this: https://www.fcbarcelona.com/en/football/first-team/news/2678719/raphinha-focused-on-trophies.

Now, Barcelona has 2 top right-wingers, Raphinha and Dembele.
I don't know if this will be a good idea to have both of them. I think Dembele will spend again much time on the bench. This may be good for Barcelona because they have many top players, but it won't be a good idea for Dembele if he rarely plays.

This indirect way also shatters Lewandowski because I feel Barcelona's money is running out.

Barcelona often surprised us in this transfer window. So, we can't conclude that Lewandowski to fail joining Barcelona. I still think that Barcelona will try their best to sign Lewandowski although they will spend too many funds and risk their financial stability.

[Rabi3]

I also see that Atletico Madrid in this summer window are not very active in hunting for star players to strengthen the squad for next season. even though their finances if we see there are no rumors that they are experiencing a financial crisis like the one experienced by Barcelona.

Have you ever heard that Nahuel Molina from Udinese is getting closer to Atletico Madrid? Yes, the Argentine is rumored to be an Atletico Madrid player in the near future after Udinese reached an agreement with Atletico Madrid about the value of his contract. Molina is rumored to be getting a four-season contract at Atletico Madrid and that is something the player is happy about.

whether Diego Simeone will rely on Morata with Griezmann up front.

Let's not forget that there have been some good strikers at Atletico Madrid so far. Griezmann, Felix, Morata and some of their wingers are also good. The most recent is Samuel Lino who operates on the right wing. So Atletico Madrid is actually not short of strikers at the moment even though Suarez has left.


Done Deal. Dembele has signed a new contract with Barcelona until 2024. His market price has fallen sharply.

Dembele is a good player and he can do Many things for barcelona, but unfortunately he had some bad times because of the injuries and his Career with the team was not really good, but i think he is a kind if players that can recover his real capacity

injuries are part of the game and part of a player's capacities, no team wants a player that could get injured easily, imagine signing him and he gets injured for almost half a season, I think this also a reason for his market value to drop.

Finally lewandowski goes to the barcelona. What do you think guys? will this give more opportunity for barcelona to be even stronger with him? https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1548068332804272129

Lewandowski has a very good historic with bayern and it seems like bayern is trying to create regeneration for its players.

He was priced €50m.

Barcelona has very good ammunition for the next season with him. let's see how it goes.

It is surprising how Barcelona wants to pay €50m for his transfer fees.
I think Barcelona has no longer money after signing Raphinha and extending Dembele's contract. They seem to force all of their funds to sign Lewandowski. Of course, having Lewandowski will strengthen Barcelona squad but I doubt they will have a problem with players' salaries then.

Don't worry Barcelona still have some players ready to sell like De jong Barcelona just needs to reduce players
Lewandowski is sure to be their last deal of the season their finances will not be able to add new players
or the LaLiga regulations will hinder them like last season.

Lewandowski is sure to be their last deal of the season

It would be foolish for Barcelona to spend money on Lewandowski again after signing Raphinha. And it would be even more stupid if Barcelona sold de Jong and signed Lewandowski.
First of all, while Barcelona now has a number of talented strikers, the team lacks a suitable talented midfielder. Not only the forwards need to be strengthened but also the midfield and defence.
Second, Lewandowski's contract with Bayern Munich expires next season. Barcelona can sign Lewandowski without spending extra money. So why will Barcelona spend so much money this season?

[zuzie]

With Barcelona success in bringing in Raphinha it seems true that they have given up on chasing Lewandowski from Bayern which is too complicated and no deal is done, Barcelona efforts are quite large but it seems Lewandowski is reluctant to be let go by Bayern.
many say that Barcelona's finances are quite difficult at the moment but this transfer Barcelona are quite aggressive in targeting players, I think their financial problems are over after they sold the TV rights.
Raphinha is not a bad player and Barcelona have managed to extend Ousman's contract, so Barcelona's forward line is good and I don't think there is a need for Lewandowski anymore.

As I said before, we don't know what they have outside of the news about the Barcelona financial crisis. I think barcelona will just be wasting money on Raphinha if they can basically get Lewandowski. Assume the barcelona front line will be played by Aubameyang and Lewandowski, and one more player. I don't think Xavi not will include Depay or Torres in the list the starting eleven. While they still have Ansu Fati as an alternative, so for what Raphinha come, wouldn't that just full the spare seat
It is increasingly possible to see Barcelona fail to sign Lewandowski, and replace him with the arrival of Raphinha

[hahay]

What I believed before really happened, even though Barcelona are in a bad financial situation but Barcelona is a big team which certainly won't be difficult to get income. At least with his new sponsor Spotify and a broadcasting rights contract, Barcelona can finally sign Lewandowski but either way, there are a lot of financial problems that Barcelona must solve. Hopefully with this new sponsor Barcelona can be even better in managing it, because now Barcelona already has a great squad which is certainly worth keeping to make the club more stable and better.

What I believed before really happened, even though Barcelona are in a bad financial situation but Barcelona is a big team which certainly won't be difficult to get income.

What Barcelona has done is a financial folly, a flight forward, as it is pawning the income of the future to make signings to see if it can succeed this year. If it works out well and wins titles this year, it will surely be able to sustain the financial situation, but if it does not win titles this season, it is going to have a bad time. I don't give him more than a couple of years if he does badly in sporting terms to become a SAD, which is a figure that all but four Spanish football clubs (Real Madrid, Barcelona, Athletic Club and Osasuna) were forced to convert to in 1990 because they were running up huge deficits in order to alleviate their financial situation.

What this figure does is to turn the club into a company with a shareholder, which could end up with Barcelona being bought by an outsider, as happened with Valencia under Peter Lim, which has been a disaster. Although there are times when the foreign investor is very successful in managing the club, as we have seen in the Premier League.

Barcelona are in a good position to go far in next season, because their managements has signed in new talented squads that will make the team to improve well in next season. Based on the potential squads in Barcelona right now, showed that no team will be difficult for them to defeat because all those players know how to attract goals from any competition which they will definitely introduce new tactics into the team in this season. I believe, Barcelona managements will definitely sign in Lewandowski to join the team soon, because they are willing to use any amount of money to add him to their squads in this season.

Fresh funds obtained from the sale of broadcasting rights and new sponsors can boost the club income, Barcelona dares to move to bring new players to Camp Nou. Barcelona's credibility has returned along with the income earned from both. Even so, Barcelona's transfer efforts have an additional level of difficulty because the economic situation is not yet fully stable. Barcelona is very lucky despite being hit by the economic crisis, because Barcelona still has charm and most of the players want to join Barcelona.

[ingiltere]

I'm not sure if they did the right thing by raising transfer fee but let's just focus on the outcome. Lewandowski will play for Barcelona for three years and even though there are some concerns about he may past his prime last season he scored 50 goals. Barcelona may find the exact missing part in their championship path. I wonder how will Xavi make selections though. If Aubameyang and Memphis will stay it will be very hard to bench them. He has to set the tactic so at least two of these three players will be in the pitch at start. With this transfer move, Barcelona seems to be one step ahead of Real Madrid.

[Jody.Drummer]

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.

With Barcelona success in bringing in Raphinha it seems true that they have given up on chasing Lewandowski from Bayern which is too complicated and no deal is done, Barcelona efforts are quite large but it seems Lewandowski is reluctant to be let go by Bayern.
many say that Barcelona's finances are quite difficult at the moment but this transfer Barcelona are quite aggressive in targeting players, I think their financial problems are over after they sold the TV rights.
Raphinha is not a bad player and Barcelona have managed to extend Ousman's contract, so Barcelona's forward line is good and I don't think there is a need for Lewandowski anymore.

It's too early to say they are financially free at this time they have disbursed only 600 million from selling broadcasting rights and some of their shares and it was used partly to remodel their players but their debt has now reached approximately 1.3 billion which can be said from the proceeds from the sale of the broadcasting rights and some of the shares did not cover their debts so to say they were free from the crisis was completely unreasonable.
