La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[tusandii]

Messi had a great time at Barcelona, obviously his heart is there
I just hope he's aware that it's a different team than the one he left
a team where you have to work hard to make room in Europe

Messi deal collapsed and this is really a bad news for Barcelona, they might never see the undisputed GOAT in Camp Nou again. But that doesn't stop the president, Juan Laporta to relent in signings this summer. The blaugrana are back in the market, and this time they're looking for some top-tier midfielders. Xavi Hernandez, the manager of Barcelona, has stated his priorities for upcoming additions. Two prospective midfielders, an inside and superb replacement for Sergio Busquest, a pivot player, more of a linked player between the defensive unit and attacking players. He is confident in his ability to scout players during the transfer window.

Messi wants a big salary like Ronaldo he wants to get what is bigger than his previous salary that is why he will never return to Barcelona even though the fans really hope for the GOAT's return to his old team.
But if we see and understand Messi will never be able to get a big salary at Barcelona because he has a declining playing performance so that the Barcelona management will prefer players who play as strikers who are younger and have quite good playing qualities.
I admit that Messi is a great player but at his age he will find it difficult to keep up with the game from a team that has started to be filled with young players.

I can't wait for Real Madrid's performance in La Liga next season and after getting Jude Bellingham and having the opportunity to bring home Brahim Diaz from Milan, it is certain that Real Madrid's midfield will be terrible. Now Real Madrid's midfield options are so varied because there will be main players as well as backup players who are quite commensurate. Maybe next season we will see a new trio in midfield from Bellingham, Valverde and Camavinga then there will be options to replace them like Modric, Kroos, Tchouameni, Brahim Diaz or Ceballos.

I also heard that Real Madrid will spend around 400 million euros in the summer and now they have succeeded in bringing in Bellingham, it is likely that several more players will be announced in the near future, of course Florentino Perez will not hesitate to spend a lot of money this time to bring in the players to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Checking the top scorers of this season in La Liga, Lewandowski had an amazing performance in this season as I was expecting to see and he is still going to play for Barcelona in next season which can be very good for Xavi and his team but in the other hand, Benzema who is the second top scorer of this list is leaving Real Madrid to Arabian teams and I think Real Madrid is going to have a problem in the next season.

Madrid still has Rodrygo and Vinicius who can be used as alternatives up front. although until now it has not been the best alternative. or another option of course Madrid will look for a good striker for next season. As has been widely rumored, Madrid already has their eyes on several players in the summer transfer window. and I'm sure they've already started talking.

Madrid has Rodrygo and Vinicius in their squad. Two very talented players. But I think they are not experienced enough yet. I say this because even though they create a lot of easy chances, they miss the easy ones. What Madrid really need is an experienced player like Benzema. One who can score a lot of goals and perform well in important moments for the team. We cannot consider any young inexperienced player as a worthy replacement for Benzema. A worthy replacement for Benzema should be someone as experienced as Benzema. At least I think so.

Rodrygo and Vinicius has been playing often this season and i have to says their performance were quite impressive especially for Vinicius that although his goals records is not really good compared to last season but Vinicius have already being an important player for Madrid squad and for Rodrygo i think his performance was far from what the fans expected but because he is still young probably he still can develop his skill with Madrid
There was a good news for Vinicius after rumoured want to leave Madrid because of rasism incident while against Valencia few weeks ago Vinicius has been decide to stayed in this team and this season Madrid has lost at least 4 forward players such as Mariano Diaz, Marco Asensio, Eden Hazard and the latest is Karim Benzema so automatically Madrid only have Rodrygo and Vinicius for the front lines and it impossible to always be rely on them for every matches so i am sure Madrid main concern is looking for new players on that position and i am sure Madrid will bought at least 2 forward players or more this summer

I am not saying that Rodrygo and Vinicius are bad players. There is no doubt that both of these players are very talented. But the important thing now is that Madrid needs replacements for Benzema and Modric. There is no way to consider Rodrygo and Vinicius as replacements for two experienced players like Benzema and Modric. Rodrygo and Vinicius will be in the squad. At the same time, Benzema's replacement should also be kept in the squad. This makes it difficult for Ancelotti to build his squad for next season. We are still not sure which player Madrid management wants to replace Benzema.
There have been rumors that Madrid are interested in signing Harry Kane. Harry Kane could be a worthy replacement for Benzema if he can adapt to the Madrid players.

[Strongkored]

And with regard to Messi, I was shocked to hear the news because I had assumed he would return to Barcelona. However, it's not a bad thing, in fact, it's a good thing that he made his decision that way because it means Barcelona won't be depending on him to come, and they will win the Champions League next season.

I too had assumed he would make the move back to Barcelona. I may have even hoped for it and was a little disappointed. But upon further thought, i think Messi might not be able to lead the team like he did. He's obviously not as good as he used to be and that doesn't mean he's not still an amazing player.
It's a good thing Messi didn't return to Barcelona. If Messi returns to Barcelona, I think they would be bound to depend on him and he might not be able to deliver as he used to. I think It's about time Barcelona moves on.

The debate about Messi finally choosing a club that didn't predict at all was surprising, but I think it's better for him not to go to Barcelona, because his old club had to sacrifice a lot to bring in his old star, because Barcelona collided with FFP rules so selling a lot of players must be done before being able to propose a new contract for Messi.
It's time for Barcelona to start making new plans for this club to be even more in appearance, the season is over they can become LaLiga champions but of course, returning to become a team to be reckoned with in European competition will be even better because their progress in Europe has been quite bad for a long time, even for the European League alone they were not able to compete for more because they lost to Man United and failed in the copa del rey from Real Madrid is quite acceptable because Madrid is still Barca's strongest competitor.

Finally I wanted to see Lionel Messi in Barcelona and I wanted to relive those earlier moments in Barcelona but things didn't go my way. Lionel Messi may have preferred a higher salary, which is why he did not accept Barcelona's low salary. If Messi, Neymar, and Ronaldo are out of Europe, how do you know that the European leagues will be empty? Both Neymar and Ronaldo have already left Europe and now only Neymar remains. Neymar still comes to Paris but we are still not sure where his next destination will be. Is it possible to bring Neymar back to Barcelona as an alternative to Lionel Messi? If Neymar returns to Barcelona, the lack of Messi is expected to be filled.

Real Madrid needs an experienced striker and an experienced midfielder. We don't know if Luka Modric will leave the team. But Modric is about 38 years old. One cannot expect consistent good performances from such an aged player. And I think Benzema and Modric are among the best players in the world. This is why finding suitable replacements for these two players has become challenging. Madrid is unlikely to find suitable replacements for these two players next season. It will be challenging for Ancelotti to maintain the performance of the Madrid team next season.

We agree that Madrid needs a very experienced forward striker, including midfielders. even if Luca Modric stays with Real Madrid, his contribution to the team is not as reliable as it used to be. as we know, he has entered the age of 38 years. that means, the performance will decrease greatly. IMO, even though Madrid already has Bellingham, it looks like Madrid still needs more mature players in the midfield. but at least, there is still Kroos who might be able to guide his younger colleagues.

For strikers, I believe Don Carlo needs players who have high flying hours. and this criterion, it's Harry Kane. I'm pretty sure Kane can be Karim Benzema's successor. at least Kane has proved it with Spurs by scoring 30 goals in the Premier League, Kane can also partner with Vini Jr and Rodrygo. like Benzema, Vini Jr and Rodrygo, even Valverde. for other strikers, I'm not so sure especially young strikers. because what Madrid needs is an established striker, both in scoring goals and mentality. So, let's see what Don Carlo will do in this summer transfer window.

Maybe next season we will see a new trio in midfield from Bellingham, Valverde and Camavinga then there will be options to replace them like Modric, Kroos, Tchouameni, Brahim Diaz or Ceballos.

I also heard that Real Madrid will spend around 400 million euros in the summer and now they have succeeded in bringing in Bellingham, it is likely that several more players will be announced in the near future, of course Florentino Perez will not hesitate to spend a lot of money this time to bring in the players to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Madrid's failure in the UCL because they were defeated by Manchester City in the semifinals yesterday made Madrid improve to add new players so that they can be more optimal in the next season, Madrid's failure also in the league made Madrid only satisfied with being Runner Up and with the Copa Del Rey title, but besides that, buying players Youth really helps Madrid to give new colors to the game.

I think Florentino Perez is also willing to spend money because he wants to achieve his target of success next season to win back the league title or win the CL . I'm not a Madrid fan but seeing them recruit young players like Bellingham it seems that Madrid will be more serious next season.

As per the Spanish TV presenter, Real Madrid could be ready to spend up to €400 million on new players this summer. This hardly comes as a surprise, as the club have witnessed mass defections ahead of the coming summer.

As long as all of tranfers will be going so well and i have no problem with it but if it will be repeating the same story as chelsea and im thinking about real madrid gonna get its worst season.

Real madrid has been speding 120m for bellingham and there was around 280m remaining at this moment. Perez has been trying to rebuild the club again.
There was still a big question for real madrid at this moment for modric. It's caused by modric has been included as a target from SPL.
Modric can leave from real madrid anytime as he want.

Messi is still an amazing player but playing in intermiami is a big no for me. I would prefer to watch saudi arabian league rather than MLS. intermilan was also the worst club in MLS. It's such a degrade for messi to play in inter miami.
Messi has been getting some offers from EU clubs but he was only putting barcelona as his main priority. This guy is not even willing to leave from its confort zone. It seems like that playing in PSG has been enough giving him trauma to play in the new league again.

he was good in playing football but not for his mentality. La liga has been giving green light but so many young players are against his transfers.
That's why messi is picking intermiami as his next club. It's a very bad choice for him but it's his choice.

I understand you and honestly I don't really care whether it is Saudi Arabia or the MLS. Eventually, the soccer world is now going to lose another GOAT.

But I think we as the fans have to cope with the fact that at some point all these great soccer players are planning their time after their career and Messi going to Inter Miami isn't because his dream is to win the MLS. At this stage of his career he is building the pathways for marketing and commercial angles for his future. It wouldn't come as a surprise if he plays for Inter Miami for a while now and then switches over to Saudi Arabia as well. The whole world knows him already and now it is about strengthening ties with his fanbases around the world. That would be my assessment of what he is doing next.

Wait guys, don't equate Real Madrid with Chelsea because it's clear that the president and even the management of the club are different. Chelsea since being taken over by its new owner seems to just want to show off to all the top European teams that he is able to attract talented players with lots of money, now look at what happened to the club even mired at the bottom and many young talents were wasted due to the selfish management.

Look at Real Madrid, who started the Los Galacticos project in the early 2000s which successfully brought in star players to win many titles and until now the club president is still the same, namely Florentino Perez. Of course, even if Real Madrid spends that kind of money it won't be in vain because they have clear prospects for their players and they have years of experience.

As for Modric, I don't see him going to the SPL because for sure he wants to retire at Real Madrid when his contract expires next season.

Real Madrid need a suitable replacement for Benzema. Benzema was an excellent player. Scored a lot of goals. And for the last 2/3 seasons, the Madrid team was dependent on Benzema. And so Madrid needs a player who can score a lot of goals. And so I think Harry Kane will be the best choice for Real Madrid. Kane is a great player. He is experienced enough. He will be able to score a lot of goals if he can fit in well with the Madrid squad. Harry Kane can be a worthy replacement for Benzema.

Due to Benzema reasons indeed Real Madrid really need a new goal machine, Kane might be a suitable replacement, because he also seems to be able to quickly adapt to Real Madrid. Let's wait, whether Kane can play for Real Madrid or not, because the rumors are also uncertain, but I hope Real Madrid can sign Kane. So La Liga will be more interesting, we have a new goal machine, which can compete with Lewandowski.

[klidex]

I think Kane doesn't have to prioritize payment, because at Kane's age now at least Kane should prioritize joining a team that has a big chance of winning the title. So yes, if Real Madrid are really interested and make an offer for Kane then I think it would be right for Kane to take the offer quickly. Because yes, of course we also realize that Real Madrid is a big team with a big chance to win a title every season.

In fact, players who are quite old like Kane have to take into account payments so that he can get what he deserves in retirement.
If he feels the payment is big enough he should accept the offer considering that Kane himself is a pretty good player at his current age so chasing a team that can get a title is not a must.
If Madrid is able to bring in Kane for a sizable fee, Kane will have to accept it.

Of course it is the best choice for Kane if he gets an offer from Real Madrid for his career, especially if he gets a higher payment, of course it will make his career journey better, considering that Kane's performance is quite impressive on the gridiron of the English Premier League.
On the Real Madrid side, they really need a sharp player on the front lines to strengthen their troops, and I think Kane is a pretty good option in meeting Real Madrid's needs, if you only rely on Benzema, I doubt it because he often gets injured, and that affects performance. real madrid in producing goals significantly.

For now Madrid have lost one player in attack after the departure of Benzema so they have to bring in maybe not just one player for attack.
Kane can be the right choice for Madrid because he is also one of the players that can be relied on even though he is no longer young but his game in attack is still sharp and deadly.
Whatever money that will be offered, Kane can do it if it is commensurate with his transfer, so he must be happy to accept, especially when playing with Madrid, which is also a big team, quite great.
Surely Kane can be the favorite there later.

There was still a big question for real madrid at this moment for modric. It's caused by modric has been included as a target from SPL.
Modric can leave from real madrid anytime as he want.

Madrid needs a young and talented midfielder like Jude Bellingham. And I think Jude Bellingham can be a worthy replacement for Luka Modric. We still don't know if Luka Modric will stay with Madrid. But Modric is over 37. This is why Madrid needs a replacement for Modric. However, Jude Bellingham is a good choice for Madrid's squad. If Madrid cannot strengthen their squad enough next season, they will not be able to compete with Barcelona for the La Liga title.

Whether Modric will stay or not because the most important thing is, Real Madrid must continue to look for a replacement or get a young player who has great potential. But regarding Bellingham, I don't think only Real Madrid have an interest in signing him. Thus, because there is competition to get Bellingham, of course Real Madrid must really be able to win this competition, with a good offer and also make a move that is faster than other clubs that want Bellingham as well.

Every era will surely end and new seeds will appear who will decorate the world of football, so there's no need to be surprised anymore, we have passed many star players who have come and gone according to the era. Messi is indeed meritorious because he has given his own color to his achievements which will be very difficult for any player to match. It has taken a long time for new players to have a title and we are still looking forward to a new GOAT in European competition. Messi is a person who really cares about his family so when he decided to join Inter Miami it was because his wife really wanted to live in America. It's not a matter of money or not, even though Saudi Arabia's various offers promise big salaries, he still doesn't do it because it's for the sake of family comfort. That's what I heard during the interview he held after the official announcement of joining Inter Miami.

[el kaka22]

I am not sure who else Real could get, but focusing too much on midfield which is already decent enough is not the way to go. First of all they always needed a striker, that season Benzema had which won him ballon d'or made them suspicious about getting one but they need one without a doubt.

Since we are talking about Real here, they can't just get a decent player, they need a big name, not sure how big of a name they will get, not like they will get Mbappe, but I bet that they are going to get someone very special without a doubt. They have no other choice, they have to get one and that will be a very important situation. If they can get a good one then they are going to be good, if not then they are going to be a pretty boring team again.

Bellingham is definitely the best option for Real Madrid in that position, he's a young talent, and signing him now before he gets attached to another club was the best option, Modric is most likely going to leave Real Madrid or even retire soon, that's why he's the best deal they could have gotten in the transfer market, they had to keep competing with Barca and other teams in La Liga.

Apart from Mbappe, who has been a target for Real Madrid in recent seasons, Kane is another. Kane is a worthy target to replace Benzema, but other rumors suggest that Manchester United are also expecting him to play at Old Trafford next season. Kane's situation is not yet clear whether he will go to Real Madrid or Manchester United, so of course with him Real Madrid must find other alternatives so they can bring in the best striker next season.

Kane is a reliable striker who can operate on the front lines of Real Madrid. Ancelotti's strategy seems to suit him and he will be a mainstay for the next few seasons. But I doubt if Kane will move to the Santiago Bernabeu or even stay in the Premier League for Manchester United.

I am surprised that to this day the players targeted by Real Madrid seem to be difficult for them to get, for example, Mbappe, until now he is still stuck at PSG while Harry Kane is still gray because some sources claim he only wants to be in the EPL. since benzema left for al ittihad, madrid's attack line will definitely be chaotic and weak, so before the transfer market ends, they should be able to get a replacement for benzema as soon as possible (before the season starts again).

We are all aware of Kylian Mbappe's contract, which is all about money, and Harry Kane, a key target for Manchester United, who has not given both bids the green light. Real Madrid does not sign players merely because they are available on the market; instead, they go for the finest players while also signing key backup players. You are correct, their frontline will not be active unless they buy a possible replacement for Karim Benzema, which I'm sure Carlo Ancelotti is working on as he remains in the club and has solid budgets to execute for the club.
