La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[onecall123]

Carlo Ancelotti is great manager and also one of the few managers you ever won every available trophy in club football and the fact that he was successful league titles in Italy, England, France and now Spain makes him extraordinary among football managers.
So it's totally understandable for the Brazilian FA to make moves that'll see him become the national team coach but I think Ancelotti will remain at Real Madrid beyond the summer because if he was supposed to leave this summer, he should've left the Spanish capital by now

Carlo Ancelotti has winning all domestic league tittle in top European teams from Serie A, La Liga, Primer League until Ligue 1 and actually Ancelotti is the most collected with UEFA Champion League tittle. No doubt about Ancelotti reputation as head coach but I don't sure his capacities when becoming national teams manager. Since become head coach, Ancelotti never has experienced become national teams manager and seems he will stay as Real Madrid manager or looking for other team one day later after leaving Real Madrid than become national teams manager.

Left one year contract with Real Madrid but has another option one or two years extend depend with Ancelotti achievement for next season, but I don't think Real Madrid want to sack him although fail winning tittle for next season.

Brazil are interested in hiring Ancelotti as their national team permanent head-coach, but he would rather prefer stay with Real Madrid. Ancelotti's contract with Real Madrid is set to expire in 2024, and there hasn't been any talk of extending it so far. Despite this year below level performance, the President of Real Madrid has full faith in Ancelotti and believes that he will lead the club to even greater success in the upcoming season. It now looks like that Real Madrid is looking for more from Ancelotti, and fortunately he still has lots of things to deliver.

On this current price of Kylian Mbappé 180 Million pounds most chances these both big clubs not try because they are not interested on this high price as Real Madrid is now looking for few other options and Manchester United is also having suitable replacements on suitable prices even they are not good as Kylian Mbappé quality but still can do good for their club which is acceptable for them.

Now with the option of he is not going to extend his contract and PSG is never like to allow him as free agent how things will be gone in next few weeks it's interested because we have one more club which can jump into this, but It's not sure with Newcastle United which is newly promoted to Champions League and want to make mark, but surely they will also not go with this amount at the end we have only Real Madrid but as all know not on this price.

If someone offers 180 million euro for Mbappe, I feel like he will most probably be sold. In that case we would have to see Mbappe reject the offer, because one team offered it, psg accepted it, and it's all up to him at that point, if he rejects that team at that stage, then I am sorry but he won't join that team for free neither, but if he leaves for free next summer he will need to go somewhere.

So, I suggest Real make another 180 million offer, PSG most likely will accept that, or at worst negotiate on the price, and if they can get PSG accept it, we all know Mbappe would accept it, because if he rejects then he won't get a chance next summer neither, Real fans will think he didn't want them and management will not want to piss off fans.

Only if mbappe wants it. The problem is mbappe unwilling to leave from the club until his contract expired. PSG had no choice other than keeping him for another season.
So many parties are suggesting PSG to sell mbappe but the problem is the process to sell him is not as simple as people said. It will go through complicated process to make mbappe to do personal agreement to leave from the club.
That is the main reason why PSG is not yet determining the future of him in the club.

Except, if Manchester United was successfully acquired by the Qatari side. thus, Mbappe's move to United could happen. although the possibility is very small, but before that the Qatari party had said that if United had been acquired they would target 5 stars at once. unfortunately, so far there is no certainty regarding the progress of the agreement from Glazer and Sheikh Jassmin. maybe that's why, PSG haven't decided anything yet. but I believe this process is being considered by PSG management.

On the contrary, in fact Madrid could have personally approached Mabeppe if he really needed his services. after all, PSG's contract remains only one season. that means, Madrid can make an agreement with PSG regarding the price to bring him to the Santiago Bernabeu. that way, Madrid doesn't have to bother signing Harry Kane at a very fantastic price. I'm pretty sure, even though Mbappe has stated that he wants to stay with PSG until his contract expires. but what is certain, PSG will not let them want it or not they will try to sell him. I think, this is the time for Madrid to bring him but with the condition that the price can be mutually agreed upon.

[hahay]

Paris Saint Germain should just let Mbappe go instead of letting him go after his contract expires. This is one of the wrong decisions from Paris Saint Germain by wasting a lot of money. How could they not, they didn't see what the long term was like and now they almost lost a lot of money. I know they have a lot of money, but that doesn't mean they can just spend money without something that makes them extraordinary.

Mistakes happened before, because at the time it looked like Mbappe was very close to leaving for Real Madrid but who would have thought PSG made such an extraordinary decision for Mbappe. Apart from extending his contract, PSG gave special privileges to Mbappe so that PSG spent a lot of money just for Mbappe but unfortunately, PSG only won the Ligue 1 title and the bad impact is that currently Mbappe is not willing to extend his contract. I think it's clearly a wrong decision, until now I think of course they have suffered losses from many aspects.

Ancelotti will stay with Real Madrid next season, but I don't think he will renew his contract, which currently has one year left. Brazil know that Ancelotti has the ability to bring them a lot of success, therefore they are eager to appoint him as coach. I certainly don't know about Ancelotti's future, but there is a possibility he will manage Brazil for the next World Cup.

Real Madrid should have realized that Ancelotti would not be with them much longer. If Ancelotti does not renew his contract, then there is a possibility he will leave after the end of his contract. So it's important to prepare a plan B, yes, that is finding a suitable replacement for Ancelotti.

We have been hearing rumors of Mbappe joining Real Madrid for the past 3/4 seasons. But that didn't actually happen. PSG has made lucrative offers for Mbappe every season since Mbappe extended his contract with PSG. There is no guarantee that Mbappe will not do the same in the future. Real Madrid should definitely look for another striker. If Real Madrid are hoping to sign Mbappe and don't add an experienced striker to replace Benzema next season, they will be making a big mistake. If they don't find a suitable replacement for Benzema, Madrid won't win a single title next season.

Real Madrid don't dare to spend that much on a player, especially when it's close to $200M. Mbappe is definitely a player who deserves to be valued so highly by PSG for his quality and abilities as a striker, but whenever Real Madrid are rumored with him, Real Madrid tend to expect him for free. I'm just wondering if Real Madrid have offered more than $100M for Mbappe in recent seasons?

If Mbappe is deemed suitable for Real Madrid as a replacement for Benzema next season, then Real Madrid need not be afraid to spend a lot of money to make this happen. Instead of paying Dortmund too much for a move for Bellingham, I think it would be much better to sign Mbappe for €180 million as a striker.

[slapper]

Snip...

We know that PSG will lose around $200 million if they don't make the right decisions so far there are 2 clubs that are really interested in signing Mbappe
Manchester United and Madrid are the most serious when they release Benzema it means they need someone new to take on Benzema's role. This transfer drama is not as easy as we imagine there are several aspects to consider.

Indeed, that is the reality and of course this amount of money is not small for Kylian Mbappe. Therefore PSG is desperate to sell Mbappe if he doesn't want to extend his contract immediately. On the other hand, this transfer drama will not end if it is linked to Real Madrid and maybe we will be able to find out next year, but for now it seems that Mbappe is not a priority for Real Madrid. We will also see how much PSG will lose if in the end Mbappe goes to Real Madrid as a free agent. Maybe it will be big news over the next year.

Kylian Mbappe contract discussions and probable move to Real Madrid are in fact an interesting situation. The large sum of money at stake emphasises how important this choice is for Mbappe and PSG. Given the financial ramifications the club haste to sell him if he does not promptly extend his contract is understandable. To further the ongoing transfer saga it appears that Mbappe may not be Real Madrid primary priority right now. The result is still in question and PSG may suffer a big loss if Mbappe eventually signs a free agent deal with Real Madrid. Undoubtedly as the story develops it will be a compelling one to follow in the upcoming year with the potential to garner attention around the football globe.

Mbappe's contract discussions sure have PSG on edge. If he moves to Real Madrid, PSG could take a financial hit. But, he's signaled he's staying with PSG next season, even though what's next is up in the air. That gives PSG some wiggle room and might make Madrid think twice. Madrid got Joselu and Diaz back, but they're no substitute for Mbappe. Fans are all over this juicy football drama

I would actually see it the other way around when Mbappe stayed for another year. He will be a free agent as his contract expires next season and he already said that he will not activate the option for another year, which can only be done by him. He is also only 24 years old, so if PSG asks a monster transfer amount for him this season, it is also possible that Real Madrid swallows the pill and waits one more year. Mbappe is in an amazing position and financially he doesn't even have to care as he will be a winner either way. The signing bonus alone will probably even outrageous. But he would be losing another year with a team that nobody even knows yet what it will be looking like next season with all those players who have left PSG for now.

Mbappé is rightfully, not trying to extend his contract. The sad thing is PSG is not going to get anything in this situation because most likely he’s going to live as a free agent when the contract ends. And that is obviously going to be a big loss for PSG. They could have got a lot of money by selling him. That’s why if they are not trying to sell him right now they are obviously making a big mistake.

PSG should understand that he is not going to extend his contract with them. So they should not even try. They should sell him as soon as possible and try to make as much money as they can by doing so. I am sure that Mbappé also does not want to stay in PSG anymore. Does not matter how much money is owed or how big his authority is going to be in the club or over the team.

[emrecemsan]

It is confirmed now that Joselu returns to Madrid on loan until 2024 and there is no obligatory purchase option for Madrid in this regard. but indeed I think this is just another backup for them because indeed the presence of Joselu also doesn't make Madrid feel more confident.
Sure he did quite well at Espanyol the season before but it's not a reference for a real Benzema replacement and they have to try to get better than Joselu.

I also think the same. Joselu is 33 years old now and he isn't even close to Benzema's quality. He must have just been signed to increase the alternatives in the offense area. I was also impressed with the work he has done with Espanyol - 16 goals in 34 La Liga matches. Because of that he might be useful in the times he is needed. But this just can't be a signing to fill Benzema's place. If we don't see any other much better striker signing then I won't have much hope about Real Madrid's next season.

Especially to become champion in the Champions League they need a qualified striker transfer. If Mbappe doesn't come now then they can just look for sensible moves. Maybe Juventus might be willing to let Vlahovic go for example.

Ancelotti will stay at Real Madrid, maybe he will still spend the rest of his contract at this club and after that announce what the next steps are, of course Real Madrid will also try to convince this experienced coach to stay at the club before finally looking for a replacement who can also still makes Real Madrid a successful club in many competitions. If Ancelotti still chooses Real Madrid and Brazil looks for another coach, Ancelotti will still be in demand by many clubs because his experience is a guarantee that he will be able to provide success for the clubs he will coach.

It seems quite obvious to me that Ancelotti will remain at the club - in the end, with the crisis Real (in the crisis of which he is not to blame at all), he reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and even lost La Liga, but overall it was a good year. If he had such results with the transfers that he requested and would have received, then it would be a different matter, but Mbappe remained at PSG and Real refused to fight for Haaland.
And I do not believe that Ancelotti himself can leave (without dismissal or not renewing the contract) from Real to the national team (of any country). Club football >> national team football if we are talking about top clubs.

I wouldn't say that Real Madrid refused to fight for Haaland, but there have been a couple of things at work and I believe as a player at that stage one of the dreams is to be coached by Pep Guardiola for sure. There have also been a couple of other things like Haaland's father having played for Manchester city for example and for a guy who is so competitive like Haaland, I expected that he will prefer the Premier League over La Liga. And he has done everything right, I think he had that feeling and to be honest who wouldn't like to be part of the best club in the world. The Manchester City squad is the strongest out there right now.

If we look at Real Madrid, it definitely feels like a managerial job at Real Madrid is far bigger compared to a job in any national team. Real Madrid also wanted to get Mbappé in the team. But he really did not want to let go of the huge amount of money he was getting from PSG.

That is the only reason why Mbappé moving to Real Madrid did not happen. Otherwise, it was going to be one of the biggest transfers of that time because Real Madrid was ready to pay 200 million for him to PSG.

And anyway, after that, Real Madrid also did not go after Erling Haaland's goals. The potential opponent was Manchester City. Real Madrid had to pay a huge amount of money for him which I believe they did not want to. And at the same time, Benzema was performing really well. Probably Real Madrid thought that they can go with him being the only striker for one more season. That’s where they made the mistake.

Anyway, I think in the next season Carlo Ancelotti, going to bring in a good striker. He's also going to go for both the La Liga title and also the Champions League title as well.

To some of these coaches, it is not about where will pay better but it is the prestige for them. Zidane was doing great in Real Madrid and a time he left, came back and still did well and willingly left again but report has it that he has been lobbying for France national league.
So, the coaches most times chase the prestige.  It will be an honour to Ancelotti to have coached the greatest football nation .
Priority to the coaches is what matters especially to big coaches.

[Zackgeno96]

I'm still amazed at how Atletico Madrid managed to finish above archirvaal Real Madrid in the end. Didn't have the idea that Atletico was that good, but they just played a very good 22 half of the season in the league. And after the the winter beak in Spain, Real Madrid was no longer a shadow of the team that won the CL a few times. At Real Madrid, things will also change after the departure of Benzema. Bellingham is of course a fantastic asset.

Agree with what you're saying because ultimately it comes down to prestige and what you want to achieve as a coach in the end.
Zidane's situation is exemplary because we know that he has achieved great things and there is no denying that his increased work ethic has really surpassed some other coaches in achievements and even getting 3 Champions League trophies which is rare for any coach to get for his individual achievements.
So this is also a natural thing because of course there are conditions where everyone wants something more than that.
Now another example might be Spalletti from Napoli regardless of the reason he wants to take a break for a while, of course we realize that maybe Napoli there cannot maintain its position in the next season so rather than having to be destroyed there, he prefers to leave on his own and with extraordinary achievements and praise given for the results of Napoli this season.

[Zackgeno96]

Surely it should also be possible for a team like Real Sociedad to measure itself seriously in the battle for the championship? We had a team in Valencia that played just below the absolute Spanish top for years, but for now they will be happy not to have been relegated. I don't know how this got this far. But in Spain, many sponsors of big clubs are quite wealthy, and Barcelona even managed to sign an agreement with Spotify. Otherwise they would have gotten into serious trouble.

The Manchester City squad is the strongest out there right now.

The decision of the player and his agent plays a major role in the choice of the club during transfers. Many players have even gone to the extent of reducing their pay because they want to play for a particular club. The English Premier League is the most exciting league in Europe and many players desire to play in the league. Last season Real Madrid had a striker that can not be benched because of Haaland. Benzema was a highly respected Madrid striker that is seen as the face of the club. Haaland would have had to rotate games with the world's best footballer. But in City, his place was guaranteed because they were willing to give the Norwegian striker all the attention he needs.

Agree with what you're saying because ultimately it comes down to prestige and what you want to achieve as a coach in the end.

It seems that the French Football Federation is happy with the job Didier Claude Deschamps is doing in the French national team. Zinedine Zidane desires to coach the national team because he wants to break new records and he has not been given the job. Zidane has achieved almost everything as a player and coach but he has not won any competition as a coach of a national team and I think that is what he is focusing on. I also agree that currently Zidane driving force is not money but honor. If he wanted money, I guess he would have gotten a high-paying job in Saudi Arabia or even Europe.

Mbappé is rightfully, not trying to extend his contract. The sad thing is PSG is not going to get anything in this situation because most likely he’s going to live as a free agent when the contract ends. And that is obviously going to be a big loss for PSG. They could have got a lot of money by selling him. That’s why if they are not trying to sell him right now they are obviously making a big mistake.

PSG should understand that he is not going to extend his contract with them. So they should not even try. They should sell him as soon as possible and try to make as much money as they can by doing so. I am sure that Mbappé also does not want to stay in PSG anymore. Does not matter how much money is owed or how big his authority is going to be in the club or over the team.

The only option that makes the most sense that PSG can do at this time is to offer Mbappe to any team that is willing to pay him a high price. Mabppe has stated that he wants to stay next season or at least as long as his contract lasts, but after that he will decide his future. On Mbappe's part, I think he is also aware that there is a possibility that PSG will sell him as soon as possible to avoid future losses.

So really, Mbappe's situation at PSG is very interesting. Whoever offers it higher then they might get Mbappe.
