La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[püsür]

La Liga is getting more exciting with Lewandowski's transfer to Barcelona. The rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona will become even higher this season. Tactically, Xavi is a very different genius. He is a coach who adds huge advantages to Barcelona. After arriving last year, Barcelona showed itself at a higher level. I would love to see a solid battle for top scorer between Lewandowski and Benzema. Of course, I don't know if Benzema will be able to perform as well as he did in the previous season. However, his playing style last season did not seem like his performance would decline quickly. If Lewandowski comes and becomes the top scorer in La Liga, it would be great.

Barcelona is very synonymous with big transfers, every player brought in by Barcelona always has an above average price.

Prices above average, what does that mean?
But yes, they may have had a number of expensive transfers in the past.

In the transfer market this time Barcelona is still not satisfied with the players who have been successfully brought in, Barcelona management is still trying to bring in Kounde to strengthen the team in the defense sector. I think this time Barcelona didn't choose the wrong players they brought in, their presence in the squad can help improve Barcelona's performance.

Their few transfers so far have looked good as their performance improvements have been great. Raphinha played well during pre-season and he also scored goals. Then from that, Lewandowski is also a good transfer to be expected to make a big contribution to Barcelona this season. Although I'm not a fan, but honestly Barcelona this season will be better.

[terrorJR]

Just look at this! Barcelona are really close to stealing Jules Kounde as well from Chelsea's hands.    Fabrizio Romano said that the player is likely to be prepared to agree personal terms with Barcelona. There is still no update about the Chelsea side. It is just really difficult to understand how this can happen. I mean that Barcelona have like an unlimited amount of money at the moment. I guess that they will sign him for a price like €50-60m. Their financial condition is getting worse while adding strong players to the team.

It now looks like the deal for this youngster is about to reach its final stages for Barcelona and it is hard to believe that given their current state, they can still sign a few more players for their squad.
Now even if we look at some related news about this it is reported that Jules Kounde's name is indeed ready to be printed in the official Barcelona store.

[vennali]

Real Madrid's window is not yet closed and a lot more movement should be expected in the coming days. The club awaits the departures of Ceballos, Mariano, Mayoral or Asensio. If two of them leave, Los Blancos will reinforce the attack with new players coming in.

[Tony116]

When Raphinha and Lewandowski officially join, Ancelotti already understand the situation that would occur in the rival between the two clubs. Although Madrid have not been involved much in transfer rumors this season but I believe Carlo Ancelotti is preparing something for Madrid, it's hard to believe they haven't done anything behind Barcelona's rapid development. But on the other hand I have a thought, Madrid's achievements last season satisfied the coach and maybe that's one of the reasons they haven't made too many changes to the line-up because Ancelotti still believes in his current squad.

Ancelotti have said it earlier that they won't be doing any more further signings after Rudiger deal completed so yeah he does believe in the squad he had. Just two additions and I think they have got a real strong squad there. Regarding yesterday's loss, it was just one goal and it came off after Rudiger made a mistake but overall Madrid did well out there holding Barca. I still think Madrid are still better than Barca even with all the additions.

It's the most impressive team Madrid could have fielded for the coming season, and I believe he's right. And it also feels like they don’t have any problems in any specific area. So they will be the strongest team entering the next season. Obviously, they will be the most competitive team in La Liga, as well as a formidable competitor in the Champions League. In the Champions League, Real Madrid will undoubtedly have a lot of competition but in La Liga, I think Barcelona will be the only viable competition for them. And yes, Real Madrid is better than Barcelona right now since Barcelona's defense has not improved in the transfer market.

So even though the competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona is going to be intense, Barcelona will eventually need to win more matches than Real Madrid. This is so that even if they lose against Real Madrid it will not have a huge effect on their standings.

Barcelona seems to be an enemy for Chelsea in the transfer market this summer, every player who is included in Chelsea's target list, Barcelona also appears there and actually wins the hunt with Chelsea. Chelsea heat tension increased after Raphinha and Lewandowski chose to join Barcelona, ​​Chelsea first made an offer to Leeds.  In fact, the Leeds accepted a 60 million pounds proposal made by Chelsea. But Barcelona came with an offer to Leeds and finally completed the transfer of Raphinha. The same case also happened to Lewandowski, Chelsea tried to open up opportunities to buy Lewandowski, because Lewandowski would be used as an ideal replacement for Lukaku, again Barcelona became the mastermind behind Chelsea's failure to get the player he wanted.
Now Kounde is reportedly getting closer to Barcelona, ​​while Chelsea have been approaching Kounde for a long time. Chelsea made an offer of 55 million pounds to Sevilla. However, according to the sources above, Kounde is ready to accept an offer from Barcelona and the club is discussing the structure of his transfer payment with Sevilla. Again Chelsea had to swallow the bitter pill that Barcelona gave.

What is happening? I have no idea how Barcelona is managing this amount of money. Honestly, they should not be able to have this amount of money. I am now really scared of what is about to happen if Barcelona does not do well in the upcoming season.

I really don’t understand how they are managing to bring in players at this much cost. This is when they had to get rid of the leading player in the world only almost 11 months ago. However, this is obviously good for the team, as Barcelona needed this player to make the team more competitive, and Koundé is going to help them strengthen their defense, which they actually needed.

[RealMalatesta]

The diplomacy carried out by the management of Barca and Xavi to get great players who currently fill the Barca squad really deserves a thumbs up. chelsea (who are competing for kounde too) will definitely be very upset with barca for losing the competition for kounde.  barca must be able to get the trophy back (la league and even UCL) so that all the struggles they put in to earn money, pay off.

Yes indeed they have to get achievements that can pay for everything they do in this transfer market, if they don't get achievements, at least their performance changes significantly. If they are still the same as last season, then I can say they failed in this transfer market, despite the quality players they brought in for a lot of money.

I think if they do not get big achievements, it will be a very bad ending for them. They already took so much trouble to reach to this point, and their income will be much lower for a long time. Which means that they need to win the league and also go further in the UCL instead of being eliminated from the UCL and then from Europa as well.

This is why if they could be like at least semi finals of UCL and win the league and the cup type of team, then they would be fine, because that difference would be bigger than the last years situation and the tv rights combined. This is why they made a good decision if they end up having great results all season, for many seasons in a row.

The rumours about Messi to return to Barcelona doesn't reflect the reality for me. Because there is no way Barcelona are meeting his demands after these transfers and being in such a bad financial condition. They should just stop making things worse for themselves. Laporta just leaved the door open for Messi by making a statement but I hope that they don't make a move and mess up things more. Barcelona's current squad is good enough to be able to do nice things.

What do you mean? Messi's return won't be too bad for the team I think, but only if their financial situation improves, even if it's a year from now. I think Leo himself would very much like to finish his career at Barcelona, probably why the door to this team is not closed to him. And in principle he has a pretty good relationship with the management and the team

I don't think that Messi's return would be good. Because the thing Xavi is trying to do for the team is completely different. He isn't building their game over a specific player. He is caring about playing strong as a team the most. In this situation I don't find it logical to bring back Messi. However if they want to bring Messi to retire him at his legend team then it is different of course. They can still sign him to do so but I wouldn't expect a change in Xavi's strategies for him.

Messi returning to Barcelona might happen and I think it will happen next season. For this summer, Barcelona seems very unlikely to sign Messi because Barcelona currently have Raphinha and Lewandowski, so Xavi intention to bring Messi could come true next season because Barcelona financial situation is currently unstable. In order to bring in Lewandowski and Raphinha alone Juan Laporta had to activate the second lever on the sale of 15% broadcast rights to Sixth Street and from that deal Barcelona got the funding to bring in players in this summer's window.
Messi is really missed by Barcelona fans because he is a Barcelona legend who has brought Barcelona to great success when Messi was still with Barcelona. I think we have a great chance to see messi and lewandowski play together in barcelona and hope that happens next season.

Right now, relationship is nothing had anything with this all because financial position is most important, and they are in deep trouble but still sign few top ranked players with very high price and still they have to manage their salary for all year which is surely going to be another headache.

Messi leaves this club just because of these issues, and now they are not in position to bring him back, and even they could not be in next one or two years they need some good system and work for this all which is time-consuming with this all most chances he is going to end his career at PSG because with his salary and game no other club are going to accept him in next one or two years specially Barcelona.

If we look at the current Barcelona squad, it seems that Messi's presence is no longer needed. After all, Barcelona has been able to escape from
the shadow of Messi now. But if indeed Messi wants to end his career at Barcelona there is nothing wrong with accepting Messi back,  but of course
it is impossible for Messi to come this year, because Messi still has one more year contract at PSG. Messi could possibly join Barcelona in the summer of
2023 when his contract with PSG expires.

There are rumors that Xavi wants to bring Messi back to Barcelona, because Xavi assessed Messi's presence could increase economic income,
and also Messi who is a Barcelona legend can provide motivation to other players at Barcelona. This could become a reality if PSG did not renew
Messi's contract, because it is reported that PSG also intends to extend Messi's contract even though Messi's performance was not satisfactory
last season. The reason is Messi can attract many sponsors and also the high income from merchandise, it makes PSG's income increase.
In the end only Messi can determine his own future, we will see what decision Messi will make.

Gosh! Why does Barcelona always steal expected players to sign by Chelsea? I don't know what's happening with Barcelona scouts, did they do this intentionally? I'm sure Chelsea won't happy with Barcelona attitude, especially when the players already agreed to join Chelsea and they got a deal with the transfer fees.

I don't know Why Barcelona becomes very active in this transfer window. They even don't doubt if signing too many players will cause a problem on players' salaries then. Myabe Barcelona gets big sponsorships that want to give them a huge amount of money.

Well if these rumors are true I would like it to be like that, because Barcelona I don't know how they have done it, but with almost no money they have achieved very good signings, I am surprised that even Lewa has been taken away, I would like him to return to Barceñpma because I think that Messi is when he explodes with his talent, on the other hand, I saw a notice on a social network, maybe it's fake, but they said that CR7 is very likely to go to Real Madrid, if this is so, yes, I would like it see now more than ever those impressive classics, and this is where the saying that "the good son comes home" fully applies, if things happen like this it would be exciting to relive those moments where those two great players were fighting for a Spanish league and at the same time by the UCL.

Barcelona always steals the attention because a lot of expensive players are brought in, now Jules Kunde is really aggressive but when he bought another player with De Jong, he could only surrender while still staying here his salary had to be cut in half, I think he should leave if you want to match him in his financial salary.

It's true that Chelsea always loses in getting players in the transfer window because at this time it was Chelsea who was rumored before but Barcelona is now getting more and more with a personal proposal for Kounde.
Like his Barceloan never thought about his financial crisis.

The player who had just signed for Barcelona in this season's transfer window really enjoyed his first El Clasico even though it was only in Friendly Match. This match is very happy for Raphinha because before the match started he was very confident to beat Madrid, he also wanted to score in his first El Clasico, and he proved it. Barcelona managed to beat Madrid through the only goal scored by Raphinha in the 27th minute.

Raphinha made a pretty incredible shot from outside the penalty box by successfully nesting in the real madrid goal. Raphinha is a player who makes the difference in Xavi words and this was proven in the El clasico match last night, Raphinha was able to present a beautiful goal for Barcelona victory over real madrid. Yes, even though this is just a friendly match, but this is a match that Raphinha dreams of with Barcelona. Xavi even highly praised the appearance of the Brazilian bomber, he is a player who is really needed, that's what Xavi said. In addition, Xavi assesses that his current squad is really ready for next season competition. I think Barcelona will play a more aggressive game in the early matches of next season.

It is always great to see a player scoring his first goal for his new team. But this was a friendly match and if I was the coach of Barcelona I would have told him that the team expects a lot more from him and even though he did a good job getting the win for Barcelona in this match he will have to continue the good work going into that future.

And the coach should remember that Barcelona spent a fortune in the transfer market. If this was any other time I wouldn’t have said that. But right now hundred million is obviously a fortune to spend on Barcelona. So the coach will soon be under a certain amount of pressure and will always be trying to get a good result with this team.

. It can't be possible for Messi to return to Barcelona because Barcelona can't afford to sign him, it won't be easy for them to make that move. Signing Lewandowski to Barcelona was not easy Barcelona which took sometime , Messi transfer to Barcelona can't be real.

[S A KHAIR]

Barcelona are likely to keep Frenkie de Jong in the team now. However there are so many midfielders in the squad at the same time. I don't know whether they are thinking of finding a solution for this. Having too many alternatives in the team can cause some of those players to get really sad in time. This would cause serious in-team problems. I hope that Xavi has plans about this topic and they can sell some players while buying too.

On the other hand I heard that Barcelona will cut Frenkie de Jong's salary. It would be tough for the players in my opinion if the situation was like this, unless De Jong was willing and preferred loyalty to Barcelona. We know that Barcelona's spending in this transfer market is quite expensive, because their financial situation is also not good. Let's wait for the final decision of this player.

Am I the only one who cannot get his head around this transfer? In my opinion, Barcelona brought in a player who will perform well and for a long time at the club, it's Raphinha. But I really don't understand how Barcelona is managing to get this money and I also don't understand how they are able to manage their finances going forward. And why does it feel like Barcelona is not worried about their finances at all?

Already they signed Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, Franck Kessié, Andreas Christensen. And I really hope that they don't make any big transfers like this soon. Now they should concentrate on selling the players that are not very critical to the squad right now.

At first I was quite surprised also because Barca could afford some players who had quite expensive prices. But what I know is that Barca have been doing financial structuring, by selling the broadcasting rights for longer.
In addition, they actually still have player salary debts. For example, regarding De Jong's salary. At the beginning of the difficulty they offered a pay cut that was ready to be paid in 2023. And it looks like it's this issue that makes negotiations with Man United difficult because they have to pay for barca's claustrophobic.
