La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[X-ray]

Anceloti has said it before that he is not going to sign any player and has insisted on it. Except he will have to change his mind following Benzema's injury. I don't know how reliable the news about Madrid going for Victor Oshimen is because i can't see any information on the web. But Oshimen is not a bad lineup for Madrid the question should be if Anceloti will want to work with him.

Carlo Ancelotti Maybe wants to keep his new players a secret so at this time he says he doesn't want to add new players but rumors are already circulating it is very clear that Real Madrid needs additional players to complete its deficiencies and when the transfer market opens then Carlo Ancelotti will move quickly to buy new players with the needs required.

I think that real madrid will not be revealing which player that might be bought by ancelotti. Real madrid is still watching the players that already listed on the transfer list and it will not reveal until there will be a confirmation about the contract. The performance from the players would become the main consideration by real madrid to sign the new players. I think that real will be keeping all of things until everything goes well. There might be some rumour that will be appeared.

I have no problem with Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo, but Real Madrid still need a pure striker, while the two players are still suitable to play in the winger position. Moreover, Benzema is no longer young, therefore Readl Madrid must buy new players in the next season's transfer market, otherwise they will find it difficult to adapt to a big team that has a great striker. Moreover, next year they have to compete in La Liga and the Champions League, it will definitely be difficult if you still rely on Benzema.

Real Madrid has a problem in attack which until now has not found a player who can replace Benzema. Because Benzema's position is so crucial that it must be filled by players who have good abilities, such as an instinct for scoring goals, being smart in finding good positions, quick in making decisions and others. I agree that Vini and Rodrygo are good players but can't replace the positions they've left now. In the upcoming transfer window they have to really hunt for players.

Real Madrid must realistically consider a suitable player to replace Karim Benzema. In fact, Real Madrid already has Rodrygo in their squad who can be used as an alternative when Benzema is absent, he has several times substituted for Benzema who plays in the center forward position. But Rodrygo is not a center forward like Benzema. He is more suitable to play as an attacking midfielder or hole striker, not a target man.
Real Madrid could look to some players who have shone in the World Cup like Cody Gakpo and several other centre-forwards, they need to get a quality player who has an eye for goals like Benzema to give him competition in the Champions League and La Liga.

It's complete ten good year's with Diego Simeone as coach of Athletico Madrid, I have always said it's high time they part ways with him, yes he has won some trophies for the club, but I really think it's time he leaves.
Saying this will leave people asking who should be in line to replace Diego Simeone, I'll suggest they make contact with Thomas Tuchel who is currently vacant ans has no Job.

He's a good tactician with good good tactics both defensively and attacking wise, it's just that he gets a bit poor at player to coach management when a player doesn't go thr right way with him, I can recall some news at Paris Saint Germany before the sack.

I don't think so have to sack Diego Simeone from his position as Atletico Madrid tactician after his achievement with La Liga trophy and success made Atletico lead to champion league final twice before beating by Real Madrid. Not blame with poor performance from Atletico Madrid in this season after eliminating at Champion League and bad achievement because settle bottom position standing can't qualify to Europe League.

Actually Atletico Madrid have bad started in this season in domestic league, until matchday 14th and postponed with international break out Atletico left 13 points from Barcelona who lead standing position, I don't think with Atletico Madrid need new manager and replacing position from Diego Simeone because he still best tactician for Atletico.

That is part of a strategy to trick the other team so that no one is aware of Carlo Ancelotti's plans, because it is very clear that Real Madrid need new players to complete their squad in the second half of the season so that Real Madrid can stay stronger in La Liga and also in the Champions League this season.

Because remembering that Real Madrid is the defending champion in the Champions League and I think Real Madrid also doesn't want to lose just like that just because there are no new players who can be brought into the team when the transfer market opens.

Despite having an alternative striker like Rodrygo, Real Madrid's management is obliged to look for another pure striker to cover the gap left by Benzema. The condition of Madrid's attack line is very worrying since Benzema was injured, we can see Los Blancos' attack statistics have decreased since the French striker left. So because of that, Ancelotti must immediately target a striker in the January transfer market and according to reports Osimhen and Leao are Don Carlo's main targets, but the opportunity to get the stickers of the two attackers is very difficult to materialize.

Cody Gakpo could be a good alternative, but I doubt his capacity because he is too young. However, it would not be wrong if Real Madrid made an offer for him because Gakpo is one of the talented young strikers who could be used as a long-term project for Los Blancos.

I don't think Real Madrid will ever sign Mbappe, considering that he previously turned down Real Madrid's offers and preferred money over a brilliant career with Real Madrid. Mbappe is a genius but also arrogant, we know he is just a new kid in football and he doesn't have to have bad traits if he wants to have a lot of titles.

Everything is possible. we all know, Mbappe's attitude and ego is very high. he is a young player, it's normal that his ego is often a problem. Despite his attitude and ego, all football players know that he is a great and talented young player. for the next one or two seasons, it seems unlikely that Mbappe will play for El Real, besides that his contract is still long with PSG, Florentino has said he is no longer interested in Mbappe.
however, it is possible that in the next few seasons, Mbappe could play for Real Madrid. because after all he is a young talent who still has a good career going forward, especially if he plays for Real Madrid. But I don't think Madrid will sign him any time soon. after all, after all, Madrid still has Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo and maybe several other young players who are being targeted by Madrid in the upcoming January transfer window, one of which is young boy Endrick Felipe.

I have no problem with Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo, but Real Madrid still need a pure striker, while the two players are still suitable to play in the winger position. Moreover, Benzema is no longer young, therefore Readl Madrid must buy new players in the next season's transfer market, otherwise they will find it difficult to adapt to a big team that has a great striker. Moreover, next year they have to compete in La Liga and the Champions League, it will definitely be difficult if you still rely on Benzema.

Vini and Rodrygo are very talented players. But they are still young. We do not get proper good performance from them due to lack of sufficient experience. Often they miss easy opportunities. If they miss an easy chance or make a mistake in an important match, it becomes difficult to win the match. And so Madrid needs a perfect experienced finisher. They need to find a replacement for Benzema. Benzema's fitness is not good. Also, Ancelotti needs to make his plans now if he wants to keep the team stable for the future. And so it is important to add an experienced striker to Madrid's squad either this season or next

You are correct. Vinicius Jr. and Rodrigo are really talented players. They are only young and their football careers are big. They are performing so well at such a young age. Hopefully they will have a great career if they don't suffer any major injuries.

The problem is not just in the injuries but the players must think twice before making any decisions regarding transfers because one wrong step could waste their career, vini is suitable for real Madrid and he is playing regularly but Rodrigo should improve himself or transfer to another club where he can play regularly

[terrorJR]

I do not think so. Over the past few seasons, of course, we know that Rodrygo's game is getting more and more mature. I don't think he needs to go for that, especially with the current condition of Madrid, what he really needs right now is just to add more flying hours and sharpen his instincts. But the longer I actually feel he is a runner type of player so he is not really suitable to be used as a substitute for Benzema's targetman.

He will be a very good player if he can improve again. Rodrygo has improved a lot but I agree that he is not a player who waits in the box more, rather he is a player who thinks he can take the ball a lot. If he continues at Real Madrid I think he will get a lot of guidance from players who already have a lot of experience, like Modric, Kroos, Benzema and others. Over time he will become a mainstay player for Real Madrid.
Moreover, Real Madrid will think twice about releasing this potential player. At 21 years old, he still has a long way to go to show more mature qualities. His experience playing against the big clubs that Real Madrid has always faced will be very influential for his future.

[lulumiya]

I think Real Madrid will prefer to wait for the end of the season to make a transfer for the centre-forward position. They can already do a good job with the Benzema - Rodrygo duo in this time period. There is already a great example of this about them. They won the Champions League and La Liga titles both last season without signing a new striker.

But next summer I definitely expect a move by Real Madrid side. Maybe Kane or some other striker like him but I feel confident that they will go for transferring a top striker to strenghten their attacking line even more.

Real Madrid could look to some players who have shone in the World Cup like Cody Gakpo and several other centre-forwards, they need to get a quality player who has an eye for goals like Benzema to give him competition in the Champions League and La Liga.

If I may be honest, actually Benzema substitutes in Madrid like Rodrygo or Asensio are actually still not too able to be an option because even these two players are better on the wings than having to become a middle striker.
But on the other hand Ancelotti is comfortable with Valverde who is there so it is difficult for Asensio and Rodrygo to be won and must be in the center which actually makes its performance slightly decreased because their instinct goal is still very lacking.

[ShowOff]

Cody Gakpo could be a good alternative, but I doubt his capacity because he is too young. However, it would not be wrong if Real Madrid made an offer for him because Gakpo is one of the talented young strikers who could be used as a long-term project for Los Blancos.

Cody Gakpo has been widely rumored to be joining Manchester United, but we'll see if Real Madrid can persuade him or it's just rumours. I'm not sure Real Madrid are interested in Cody Gakpo, he's not the type of player Real Madrid are looking for so the chances of him getting an offer are very low. Even if Real Madrid want to sign a new striker then I think they will try to find a better striker instead of Gakpo who currently plays for PSV Eindhoven.

[Ratash]

Rayo valecano team lost to turkish superligue leader fenerbahce 3 1 in a friendly game and they had such a great performance in the first half, valecano team is an average one in laliga and they have beaten real madrid in sevilla this shows that the turkish league is not to be understimated and that spanish teams are not how they used to be and laliga level has downgraded considerably.

[safari88]

Gakpo is currently associated with many top teams. Barcelona will probably like him too. What can we expect from Seville's 2nd half of the season? They are even more likely to be in the relegation spot than in European football, which is bizarre when you think about it. They still have enough time to repair the damage, but will they succeed? Their first half of the season was by no means incidental. I'm afraid it can continue like this and then you won't even end up in the first 10 teams.

[Velvet78]

Nothing has changed about Atletico Madrid in a positive way. This season is even worse for them. I wonder what the board are thinking about Atletico Madrid's current condition now. We have a World Cup break maybe but this will be an important issue after it ends. They must be expecting Simeone to find a way to make this team better than this.

Simeone needs to be ready for some changes as well because the current tactics don't work much as it seems. They don't need to make many transfers now because the squad quality is well enough for successes. It is all about improving the performance by trying something new.

It's complete ten good year's with Diego Simeone as coach of Athletico Madrid, I have always said it's high time they part ways with him, yes he has won some trophies for the club, but I really think it's time he leaves.
Saying this will leave people asking who should be in line to replace Diego Simeone, I'll suggest they make contact with Thomas Tuchel who is currently vacant ans has no Job.

He's a good tactician with good good tactics both defensively and attacking wise, it's just that he gets a bit poor at player to coach management when a player doesn't go thr right way with him, I can recall some news at Paris Saint Germany before the sack.

I also started to think the same. Manager change might be the thing they really need now. Because Simeone doesn't seem like he will make substantial changes in his strategies. He is really not much different than Mourinho at the same time. You know Mourinho is also a stubborn manager about using the same old strategies wherever he goes to.

Atletico Madrid have the players fitting an attacking game actually. They just need a manager whose focus is on an attacking based game.

[bitpotter]

Even if Real Madrid want to sign a new striker then I think they will try to find a better striker instead of Gakpo who currently plays for PSV Eindhoven.

The characteristics of Gakpo are very similar to Rodrygo, I don't think Real Madrid needs a player like him. What Real Madrid needs is a genuine striker like Lautaro Martinez or Halland. If they get a striker like that I think they will be unbeatable in La liga.

That's right, with Rodrygo's current condition actually it's still going well as long as he's positioned in the right place.
But what is certain that must be done is when you look at this then of course there must be some adjustments and indeed a pure striker must be here. Benzema is there but now he is not in good condition. On the other hand, his age is now nearing the end at Real Madrid, so there needs to be a successor from now on.

It will be too risky for Real Madrid if they are not quick to bring in a centre-forward to fill the void Banzema has often left. After all they had to move quickly and not stall for time when they discovered their weak point. The competition in La Liga is very tight right now they can't move very freely like they did last season. They have to realize that while they wait until the end of the season to sign new players it will probably make them regret it.

Real Madrid must immediately make a breakthrough in the January transfer market. If not then they will accept a greater risk. Benzema is completely unreliable due to frequent injuries. I am quite pessimistic if Ancelotti insists he does not want to bring in a striker. Not without reason, Los Blancos' performance in the last few matches has seen a drastic drop in both La Liga and the Champions League. This is a harsh warning for El Real.

Let's say tomorrow you woke up as the President of Real Madrid. What good striker are you going to buy in this January transfer window, assuming all conditions are constant as they are at the moment?

Now do see how hard it is?
I don't see any good center forward of Benzema's caliber who will be available in the coming transfer window. The best time to buy is during the summer break.
