La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Ahli38]

If Mbappe leaves PSG this summer he has a condition in his contract. As far as I know PSG will have to pay an amount like 150-200 million euros due to this condition. Therefore even if he leaves now PSG can't make a big profit in this transfer. They are in a really problematic situation as a result. But let's say PSG sold him for over 200 million euros then it is still better than letting him go for free.

I wonder whether Real Madrid are interested in paying that much money and sign him already. They can just be patient for six months to sign a pre-agreement contract with Mbappe in the end. I think they wouldn't rush things while there is such opportunity.

Correct. Maybe it would be better for Real Madrid to be patient until Mbappe's contract expires in 2024.  Currently PSG is definitely struggling to negotiate with Mbappe's party to add to the contract. Because PSG definitely don't want to lose Mbappe for free next season. But the decision taken by Mbappe, who still wants to stay at PSG until his contract ends, certainly makes PSG confused. Because what PSG wants is for Mbappe to stay and extend his contract. And Real Madrid, which has been targeting Mbappe since last season, certainly wants Mbappe more than any other club. It's just that if Mbappe doesn't renew his contract at PSG then getting him for free next season is a more profitable path. It's just that the problem is that those who want Mbappe are not just Real Madrid. so I think Real Madrid should be braver to pay more than any other club.

I think Real Madrid will not rush this transfer. Real Madrid has made no hasty transfers to date. Maybe Real Madrid will show their maximum patience in taking Mbappe into the team. After the summer transfer market closes, the winter transfer market opens again six months later, when Real Madrid can sign Mbappe in a relaxed manner. Real Madrid and Mbappe may have discussed this matter. It is only a matter of time before Mbappe joins Real Madrid.

I agree with you. Real Madrid management will not rush any player into the squad. Because Madrid management is very conscious about spending money. For the last 3/4 seasons, they have waited to sign Mbappe. Mbappe joined Madrid. And Mbappe's contract with PSG is set to expire next season. Mbappe has no interest in renewing his contract with PSG. And so next season Real Madrid is probably going to get Mbappe for free. And so the Madrid management is unlikely to add any new strikers to the squad this season after spending so much money.

Real Madrid's target now is only on Mbappe. Real Madrid are willing to wait but are not willing to replace Mbappe. Because last season we saw that Real Madrid waited until the end for Mbappe but even after waiting they didn't take any player into the team that season. After letting go of Karim Benzema this season, they were waiting to maybe get Mbappe in the team this season but maybe this season too, Real Madrid might have to wait for the French star. Because Mbappe can join Real Madrid as a free transfer agent when the club's contract with Mbappe expires next season. So maybe Real Madrid is not willing to spend any extra money for Mbappe this season. Real Madrid has become a successful team because of the careful selection of players.

Gradually, Mbape influence is trying to turn Spain and European leagues into Saudi Arabia leagues, $200m is a lot of money to be used to sign a player who doesn't have a single Champions League trophy, it was the same PSG that gave him a big contract, they should deal with whatever amount they were able to sell him to any potential players, they are even making his move becomes difficult but I know for sure that they will see to him been sold than been giving out as a free agent.

However, Mbabe and PSG are also feeling the heat of letting this new deal in the table, I don't think Real Madrid will be willing to bid that guy for $200, the three of them need each other and they will come to agreement and Real Madrid is the only player in Spain that is capable of buying Mbabe and giving him a great wages and it will also enhance his career because in less than 2 years, I believe he will have his first Champions League from Real Madrid if the deal comes in agreement.

The transfer market is still open about two months away, there is still enough time for the club to continue negotiating until they get an agreement, because of course, PSG does not want to release this player with the status of a free agent because it is certainly not profitable for PSG.
Mbappe's to Real Madrid will open up opportunities for him to get more achievements than at PSG so it is certainly very desirable for Mbappe to be able to move, he can get achievements in European competition not only domestically, we wait in two months what news finally appears about the status of this player, playing at Real Madrid will make him even more highlighted, what's more, Real Madrid do need a striker after Benzema went to the Saudi Pro League.

[omgitsmehehe]

Lewandowski is enjoying good times at Barcelona and of course El Barca must always make the striker comfortable. I am sure that in the near future Lewandowski will not change his mind about joining the Saudi League even though he is offered a double salary.

The arrival of Gundogan can also be a strong reason for Lewandowski to stay at Camp Nou. And the two of them will definitely collaborate to bring Barcelona back to glory in La Liga and in the Champions League. I see that the Blaugrana have started to bounce back even though financially they are still not stable.

Football is one of the entertained and popular sport in the world, it's a big game and watching players having a stellar display on the pitch is fantastic and stunning. Spanish clubs, specifically Barcelona are having good moments with their players because Saudi gigantic offers are not any where close to the players. Robert Lewandowski have no intentions to exits Camp Nou, he's here for long term contract and we should give him the required supports. Xavi Hernandez always had the Poland international in his budget, and he delivered the club whenever the need arises. Moreover the arrival of IIkay Gundogan would give the striker more goal scoring opportunities.

Mbappe could be released if he plays for PSG for another season and PSG will not ask for this free leave. They're working hard for him, but if Mbappe doesn't see a big increase in his salary, PSG's effort will be wasted and they will lose Mbappe after one season.

I don't think Real Madrid will pay such a high transfer fee. Of course, if a very high offer comes from Saudi Arabia, they miss Mbappe. I think Real Madrid should make a serious decision about Mbappe this season or they will miss it.

[püsür]

Just as I expected Lewandowski also got an offer by Saudi Arabian teams. But thankfully he didn't accept the offer according to news. I wasn't expecting him to leave Europe this early after joining Barcelona truthfully. I will be expecting to see him play for at least one more season and then he might start thinking of his exit from the team for a new adventure.

Meanwhile Barcelona had better work harder to be better in the Champions League while they have Lewandowski. It isn't easy to find a special striker like him these days but they haven't been able to do much in the Champions League group stage so far. I hope to see some improvement next season and hopefully Lewandowski can lead the team to a bigger success. I know he wasn't impressive against big teams there in the previous season but I expect him to return much stronger thanks to his experience as well.

We know Lewandoski's potential and his accomplishments. He is utterly great. The problem with Barcelona lies within something else. That is why İlkay Gündogan's transfer is quite important. He could be so good for Lewandowski's performance also. Contrary to the general belief, I think that he can make a difference with his experience and talent. He is a very high football player. Its contribution to both the game and the score is high, which is a perfect profile for such teams. He played and captained City for years without deteriorating his quality. Now he is going to maybe the biggest club in the world. İlkay left the club, maybe because of the salary difference that was given to him, or because of Pep's plan to replace him with another football player. Nevertheless it could be a great transfer for Barça.

Seeing Mbappe decision not to extend his contract with PSG made him believe he would have the opportunity to leave PSG.  indeed real madrid is his goal because i believe he has big dreams of winning the ucl trophy and psg can't make that happen. Well, if Real Madrid wanted to bring in Mbappe in this transfer window, of course, Real Madrid would spend quite a lot of money, but I don't think Real Madrid will do that this season. They will make an offer to mbappe in the winter transfer window at a lower price.

Perez seems to know when to move forward for mbappe as he doesn't want this signing to be rushed. At because Mbappe has given a definite signal that he will not extend a new contract with PSG which allows Real Madrid to get Mbappe in the next transfer window at a cheaper price because his contract period is getting closer.

I just read the news which quite surprised me. Because my previous estimate was that Real Madrid might delay signing Mbappe due to the current high transfer fee. and it would be even better to get him for free next season when Mbappe's contract with PSG runs out.

But it seems my guess was wrong about that. Because I just got a news notification about the President of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez, who finally decided to recruit Mbappe immediately. Because it is reported that Los Blancos' management will agree to redeem Mbappe's transfer from PSG for 250 million euros. I think this is really a very brave move and also very good for the future of Real Madrid and also for Mbappe's future. but I don't know whether this news is true or not.

European football has long been experiencing problems with profitability, and by the way, the influence of oil money has already existed for many years - but before, the sheiks invested in clubs (killing all other medium and small clubs along the way) and this was more or less acceptable since it was an investment in European football. But now they are investing in their league and heating up the salary market so much that even the top clubs can't afford what they need (like Bayern or most of the top Italians, which are much poorer than the rich clubs). In Europe, they are now discussing the salary cap, but I don’t know how this can be implemented when, in addition to internal intercountry competition, there is now external competition. This is really a huge problem.

The thing about limiting wages is of course something that might have to be realized too because after all, if there is no limit then of course the top players will be able to demand even higher salaries. Meanwhile, economic growth does not seem to increase quickly and may also not balance the growth. But yes, even though currently Arab businessmen and/or investors are moving to improve their own football but in reality, there are still many who will still be involved in big European clubs because they have started it first.

European football is attractive because it is the undisputed top 1. All the best players are here, and if someone is not here, then it can be said that he does not exist  This is something like the NHL (not in terms of business but in terms of uniqueness). All record statistics all real history is the history of football in Europe, even Pelé's fans admit that his goals in yard competitions in Brazil are not at all of such value when we talk about goals in Europe.
Now imagine that this situation breaks down - even if 10% of the undisputed top players play in another league (even if for money). It will destroy the entire system. I don't know where this will lead.

as I said before that Mbappe has a dream of getting the champions league title so he decided not to extend the contract and in this situation PSG will take advantage of the conditions of selling at a very high price. but unfortunately it looks like Real Madrid have plans to be able to take Mbappe but don't use too much money because they know that Mbappe wanted to join Real Madrid a long time ago.
and I will be more than happy if Mbappe can join Real Madrid because his career will be better if he can qualify for the champions league.

And I don't blame the young player for his dream of winning the champions league the last time Madrid wanted to go to Real Madrid but PSG increase his pay and he later changed his mind, I think the young man now wants to chase his dream, and since he has a lot of potential in him I feel he will do better in real Madrid, and him not extending his contract has an advantage to the club, since football don't just involve games alone but also involves business for clubs to make money out of there players, among my favorite young players Mbappe is already part of it and I feel everyone will be happy if he joins Real Madrid since they have not finalized let us see what the outcome will be, but am sure he go from his actions I feel his mind his already made up to leave.

[Ayers]

As for Eden Hazard MLS or Saudi Arabian League can really be the best places for him from now on. He hasn't even played even properly for Real Madrid since the day he was signed by the club. Injuries just ended his career during this time period. If I'm not mistaken he has missed 78 matches in total since the 2019/2020 season. I can say it wouldn't be easy for him to adapt to English Premier League football either as I see some people talking about such transfer probability.
He should just focus on where he can make more money from now on. Who knows maybe he would think of retirement after playing in one of those leagues for a couple of years.

Persistent injuries have definitely ruined his career, Hazard's market value has dropped to 5 million, and not surprisingly, that no one wants to have a player on their team who spends most of the season in the infirmary due to injuries. He has a contract with Real Madrid until 2024, I have no doubt that Real Madrid would be willing to sell him, but at this price it's like giving him away for free...

It is going to be a total waste. Buying someone for  $107 million, and in the end, selling him for only 5 million is an absolute joke. Especially when the player has almost never played, to be honest. I have actually forgotten the last time I saw Hazard play. I don’t know if Real Madrid is willing to sell him right now. I don’t know what they are going to do with the 5 million that they are going to get for him.

At the same time, they are also not going to keep him on the team. Because quite frankly they cannot use him. I think the best move is to sell him because it doesn’t make sense to keep him on the team and pay him his salary when he is injured most of the time.

Sociedad had really a great season in LaLiga this year and they were close at some point to actually secure 3rd place but ATL.Madrid really ended in a high note with victories on the line which pushed Sociedad back on 4th position which is still great for the club. Now , it seems they want to rerun this season by making important transfers and also keeping the key players in the squad but this proves that the club is ready to trow the big money into transfers.

For me , I hope Valencia finally wakes up and decides to start and make some transfers but also they can let some old players go because at this point , they cannot help to revitalize Valencia who really needs a great season in order to regain hope for both the club but also for the fans. So far...everything seems quiet on Valencia side which is not great at all .

Yes, Sociedad last season was in impressive performance, although they ended up in 4th place but at least they succeeded in securing the UCL ticket. They are currently getting a player who looks like he will be able to defend and will help Alejandro Remiro, because I think Hamari Traoré can definitely defend the back line very well. Also as you said at the moment they are also retaining key players for the new season, of course this situation will might an advantage to them to continue their good performance again in the upcoming season.

I haven't found any exciting rumors regarding Valencia, but I also hope they can find some young players in the transfer window, so they can strengthen their squad depth for the next season. Previously they were lucky to stay in La Liga, next season they cannot depend on luck because I hope they must to be really consistent.

Sociedad finally will return to champion league and last time they playing at this competition 10 years ago and Imanol Alguacil as the current coach has been successfully to make Sociedad became an tough team and since he was arrived to Sociedad on 2018 Sociedad has make good progress under him and last season is one of Alguacil best achievement because he can bringing Sociedad to finish at 4th place

But Sociedad did not automatically to playing at group stage because they had to go through a qualification round but i believe they can able to beat their opponent and qualified to group stage and last season Sociedad can able to beat several strong teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and even Sevilla and Sociedad also quite strong during playing for  home matches but unfortunately on europa league Sociedad have to eliminated by Roma at round of 16

[LGD2Business]

Barcelona made the right transfer move. İlkay Gündoğan will be very successful there. They needed to reinforce the midfield. İlkay Gündoğan is a true maestro who both scores and assists. He will fit perfectly into the FC Barcelona system. It's necessary to make such additions to the champion roster.

Luka Modric has extended his contract for one more year. Modric will play his 12th year with Real Madrid. Real Madrid are trying to keep their key players at the club. The league competition this season will be much more competitive.
The early completion of the transfer work of the teams is also important in terms of preparation time. Such great teams don't wait for opportunity transfers. They make the deals before the season ends. I think we will see a few more very big paid transfers in La Liga again.

[tusandii]

Mbappe could be released if he plays for PSG for another season and PSG will not ask for this free leave. They're working hard for him, but if Mbappe doesn't see a big increase in his salary, PSG's effort will be wasted and they will lose Mbappe after one season.

I don't think Real Madrid will pay such a high transfer fee. Of course, if a very high offer comes from Saudi Arabia, they miss Mbappe. I think Real Madrid should make a serious decision about Mbappe this season or they will miss it.

Summer is just around the corner and all the Leagues are about to kick off.
Mbappe still has a one-season contract with PSG, but if Real Madrid doesn't want to waste the opportunity to have Mbappe, then Real Madrid can pay whatever amount for Mbappe with the aim of preparing for next summer.
I would like to see Mbappe make his debut for Real Madrid in the first game this summer.

If the Saudi club is after Mbappe, of course there have been many rumors circulating and there have been certain meetings of the two parties to discuss the transfer of Mbappe and in fact no Saudi club has done that.

[superman184]

Xavi Hernandez always had the Poland international in his budget, and he delivered the club whenever the need arises. Moreover the arrival of IIkay Gundogan would give the striker more goal scoring opportunities.

Anything can still be said before the next season starts, because when Barcelona got Robert Lewandowski it was the same, where there were some people who said that Barcelona would be a big success in all competitions. But in reality Barcelona was only able to succeed in La Liga because Real Madrid was not consistent in winning more matches and even in the Copa Del Rey Barcelona were also not successful last season.

Likewise for IIkay Gundogan, who is still unsure whether he will be better at Barcelona or not, because he came from the Premier League to La Liga who might still need a little bit of adaptation in his new team. And one more thing, I think you also don't need to explain at length about the sport of football which is very entertaining and popular in this world because almost everyone who is in a topic like this must already know about this very popular sport and it is very possible that all of them there is this topic is a football fan although not for the same team.

[reagansimms]

Lewandowski is enjoying good times at Barcelona and of course El Barca must always make the striker comfortable. I am sure that in the near future Lewandowski will not change his mind about joining the Saudi League even though he is offered a double salary.

Lewandowski still has big ambitions in high-level football with both club and individual, his first season with Barcelona went perfectly, he would choose to stay at Barcelona rather than accept offers from Arab clubs in exchange for higher wages. I can feel Lewandowski disappointment at not playing alongside Messi at Barcelona, but as a professional he will stick to his commitments when he first moved from Bayern Munich.
Lewandowski respects his contract with Barcelona very much, and Barcelona still needs Lewandowski to continue to be on the front lines. There is no reason for Lewandowski to leave Barcelona after going through his first season with two trophies and status as top scorer.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Barcelona made the right transfer move. İlkay Gündoğan will be very successful there. They needed to reinforce the midfield. İlkay Gündoğan is a true maestro who both scores and assists. He will fit perfectly into the FC Barcelona system. It's necessary to make such additions to the champion roster.

He went there as a free agent and I feel where he is now doesn't need much pressure at the moment because he has all he wanted. Coming from Dortmund where he tried to win the German Bundesliga but the forces of Bayern Munich won't let the Dortmund team get it but after some seasons back, the man Gundogan left to the City side where he got all trophies he could ask for, even winning the Champions league. So at this point he's going to make the Barcelona team play under his command as the midfielder they needed to complete the team, I just feel with his experience the Barcelona team will be more deadly than that of last season.

[rahmad2nd]

Just as I expected Lewandowski also got an offer by Saudi Arabian teams. But thankfully he didn't accept the offer according to news. I wasn't expecting him to leave Europe this early after joining Barcelona truthfully. I will be expecting to see him play for at least one more season and then he might start thinking of his exit from the team for a new adventure.

I have read the rumors in the last one or two weeks. but as you said, Lewandowski refused. even if I am not mistaken, he said, that it is very likely that Lewandowski will end his career at Barcelona. As a fan, I'm happy with what Lewandowski said, even though the validity of this rumor is uncertain. however, what he made with the team in the 2022/2023 season, was a proud result. I really appreciate the presence of Lewandowski with Barcelona. Although to be honest, he didn't get the best service from his teammates. I mean, when he's on the pitch.

Meanwhile Barcelona had better work harder to be better in the Champions League while they have Lewandowski. It isn't easy to find a special striker like him these days but they haven't been able to do much in the Champions League group stage so far. I hope to see some improvement next season and hopefully Lewandowski can lead the team to a bigger success. I know he wasn't impressive against big teams there in the previous season but I expect him to return much stronger thanks to his experience as well.

I'm pretty sure, Barcelona next season will appear more competitive than last season. with the presence of several players that Xavi brought to Camp Nou, at least it made Barcelona's depth a little better, especially in the midfield. I haven't heard much news or information, regarding which other players will Barcelona bring in with the financial problems they are facing. but what is certain, Barcelona will remain one of the teams competing with Real Madrid in the 2023/2024 League title race. for the Champions League, we just follow its development, because the league has not been rolled out again.
