La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Hvdv]

Regarding Barcelona, they are still seeking a player to fill the Busquets's place in their team. They were trying to hire Marcelo Brozović from Inter Milan but since this player got the offer from the Arabian team with better money he can get, this won't be easy for Barcelona to hire Marcelo Brozović and instead, they are trying to hire Oriol Romeu from Girona which can be easier and cheaper transfer.

If there are still many options that can be taken by Barcelona in finding players to fill Busquets' place in the team, I don't think this is a big problem for Barcelona. Because in general Barcelona already has some of the best players even though they still need to make better improvements for next season by getting some new players, because Barcelona needs to get better strength to return to competing in the UCL next season.

Ilkay Guendogan will strengthen the Barcelona midfield, this is a fact. Busquets is a player who can hardly be replaced. For Barcelona, ​​next year will be full of difficult tests. Together with the La Liga championship, they are aiming for the UCL championship. I hope Barcelona can go back to its old days. It was always fun to watch them.

Next year Modric will be 38 years old, it is possible for Modric to accept an offer from an Arab club if the offer really comes for him. Modric condition which is still fit, reminds me of Ibrahimovic, even though he is old, he is still able to play the full 90 minutes. Even though he was already a Real Madrid legend and it was an honor to retire as a Real Madrid player, it wasn't too bad for him to spend the rest of his career in the Arab League while earning a lot of money there.

Modric has the Ballon d'Or plus the huge amount of titles he's won with Real Madrid plus he's a Croatian national team legend. In general, he is a big brand and I think that he is guaranteed a fat contract in a year. So turning down the offer this year he did the right thing - he'll have one more season of "serious" football with Real Madrid and then play for a few more years just for the money.

Modric deserves to retire at Real in my opinion not because of what he achieved with them but because he can still offer a lot TO YOUNG PLAYERS and they can learn a lot from his side so that's why a player like Modric will most likely retire at Real and he will continue at Real as a coach or something similar for younger generations. He was always a team player and he will remain like this and that's why I suppose the entire Real board have decided to keep him at Real Madrid.

Well, even if for example Modric gets a new contract at Real Madrid, I'm sure Modric will only be on the bench more often. Because as a midfielder, of course, physical conditions such as having speed and strength will be very necessary, maybe equating it with Ibrahimovic's physical condition with Modric is of course very different. Indeed, Modric has brilliant passes so he is still needed in the Real Madrid midfield, but to run and duel I think Modric will lose strong and lose fast with younger players.

If you look at his age, maybe it's natural when Modric only spends time on the bench. But when looking at the abilities that might be able to provide, then give him more time to play. His experience is still very much needed, and it will provide a lot of learning for the other young players in the team. We know now that the majority of midfielders at Real Madrid are young players and mentally they still have a lot to learn, and they can learn that from Modric.
Maybe Modric will still be a player in the starting line-up, only maybe he won't play 90 minutes as often.

I believe Real Madrid has made a wise move in retaining their playmaker, Modric, until June 2024. As you mentioned, he may have a reduced role, serving as a backup player in the upcoming season. However, I think this decision benefits both Madrid and the team as a whole. With the departure of Benzema to the Saudi Arabian league, Modric has become one of the senior players alongside Toni Kroos who remains in the team. This greatly assists the other players, both on the pitch during matches and in the locker room. Every club going through a transitional phase and rejuvenating their squad needs to keep one or two senior players to motivate the younger ones and strengthen their mentality under pressure. Players like Modric are essential in a team.

We can all agree that regeneration is necessary for every club. However, the vision and mission of the club, as well as the desires of the coach on the sidelines, can be better conveyed when there are one or two veteran players in the team. Finding a replacement of Modric's caliber at this moment is also extremely challenging, which I believe is one of the factors behind Madrid's decision to retain him. What can we expect from young players today? They often have inflated reputations due to media framing, leading to exorbitant contract clauses that defy logic. However, when they switch clubs and face the expectations of fans, they often struggle to adapt and end up being labeled as failed signings. For example, Hazard was exceptional at his previous club, but he struggled to meet expectations at Madrid.

Overall, it is important to appreciate the elegance and significance of maintaining an experienced player like Modric. Madrid's decision not only provides stability and guidance to the younger talents but also acknowledges the challenges in finding a suitable replacement. By striking this balance between youth and experience, the club can foster a harmonious and successful environment for both player development and achieving their goals on the field.

Ilkay Gundogan is a player who has had a very good run of form when he was at Manchester city and Barcelona seem to be lucky to get Ilkay Gundogan for free and can strengthen their defensive back.
But for me it's a little difficult for Barcelona to reach the champions league final because for me Barcelona still lacks reliable players in the attacking positions.
These are just my thoughts but I also hope that Barcelona can return to how it used to be.

I also agree that transition is needed for a team, and so far Real Madrid's approach to rejuvenation has been good. They don't let their veteran players leave in the same season, it's an anticipatory step they have to take so that the team's performance won't be disrupted.

Next season Real Madrid will have several new names in their squad, but they need to adapt. But considering that Ancelotti is a fairly experienced coach, I don't think there will be a problem with the adaptation process for these new players. Jude Bellingham is certainly a talented young player who deserves to be part of Real Madrid, but without the healthy guidance and support of the other players, his development will not be as good as expected.

One thing I don't consider as very likely is that Modric spoke to Ancelotti and Ancelotti told him that he will be sitting on the bench a lot. Then Modric would have left Real Madrid. I think that Ancelotti said that he will need him a lot on the field and that he should stay for another year, try to win some titles and then both will leave the club. It is also going to be the last season for Ancelotti and both leaving the club together would be the end of a grandios era. Even then I believe Modric will still get a great offer to make a lot of money if he even wants to. Maybe he doesn't want to go to Saudi Arabia at all.

Regarding Barcelona's financial situation, I thought that winning the league would have eased their finances but it has done less than expected and they are still under financial stress. The club's structural debt remains at around 1.35 billion euros and they are working to reduce salaries to 528 million.

This reflects the fact that at the beginning of last season they embarked on a forward flight that is being held in check and will only succeed if they continue to perform well in the sporting arena and adjust their finances. One bad year can ruin everything.

They didn't really do anything that's a huge deal, it was just something quite simple and they sold assets and that's how they spent the money and because they didn't really change much on the spending part and they kept on spending a lot by selling assets instead of trying to lower their costs, it resulted with them getting the title of course but also not have any less expense, sure getting the title means a bit of income but not a lot so it wasn't really a huge deal at all.

I believe that as long as they keep having this huge expense, they are not going to end up being any better. They need to sell some players and make some money and pay the debt, that's a must and without that they are not going anywhere. If they can do that, they can actually do better.

Barcelona's overall balance last season was €-118.50m, so of course it's a bit of a dismal run on the financial side. But in any case, Barcelona seems to have struggled to fix its financial problems even though they have so far failed to fix them.

Barcelona only had 22 players in their squad last season, but after Busquets and Alba left, Barcelona only have 20 players. Therefore, Barcelona brought in Ilkay Gundogan, which brought the total squad to 21 players, but if there are several players who come because the loan period is up, then of course the number of squad could be bigger.

Even though Barcelona has had financial problems so far, Barcelona is still a team that has a high market value compared to other La Liga teams. Barcelona is second in the ranking, while Real Madrid is first. After all, Barcelona also tends to have more local players than foreign players, it can also contribute to lowering their salaries.

Luka Modric has held the position of real Madrid's midfielder for a while now, so it is good that real Madrid extended his contract. However, I think after the 2023/2024 season he won't want to extend his contract with real Madrid any longer because being in a team for a while without achieving more from another team is not something that makes sense.
Like other excellent players, it will be beneficial for Luka Modric to complete his career after playing in Saudi Arabia, and I think the Saudis would love to have him play for them.

Real Madrid still have faith in the 38-year-old midfielder and have extended his contract with confidence, meaning Real Madrid are still quite happy with his performances. I won't say now that 2023-24 season will be the last season for Luca Madrid because if he can do well in 23-24 season then Real Madrid can extend his contract. Luca Madris is behind only in terms of age but his performance is the same as before. He still makes a lot of impact for the team to win.

Yes, the only problem for Luca Modric now is that he is no longer young to remain at a big club like Real Madrid. But the confidence that Real Madrid has placed in Modric by keeping him for one more season is a form where he still deserves to be in the squad despite his old age and it is thought that he will not be able to contribute more when he is young. But seeing from the last season he played with Real Madrid for their midfield, indeed his game is still very influential on the flow of the ball and the balance of the game. Although not as fast as when he was younger, his touch on the ball is still very good.

Gundogan got a 2-year contract with the option of a 1-year extension.  So Barcelona have predicted how effective he will be with Barcelona. 32 years old, the age that is starting to enter the final period of a football player.  It looks like Xavi is trying to take advantage of a short-term moment from Gundogan who has an extraordinary achievement. Gundogan is positioned as a midfielder who has good and creative decision making. Xavi is quite right to sign him, maybe he can be the solution to Barcelona's poor midfielder this season.

Its seems realistic with contract duration for Gundogan, actually Barcelona offering more interested than Manchester City give one year extend and Gundogan priority with Barcelona after giving two years contract and have option with 1 years extend. Short term moment for Gundogan looks his age over 32 years old and based on contract duration he will stay with Barcelona until 35 years but Gundogan has more experienced and keep on the top level after winning treble winner with Manchester City. Its not first time for Barcelona, last season their holding midfielder Sergio Busquets have been 34 years old and become regular player for Xavi Hernandez and success helped Barcelona won La Liga tittle.

And the arrival of Gundogan is expected to replace Busquets who left the team this season. And judging from what Gundogan has shown, he does have great potential to be able to properly replace the role he left behind. 2 years cons with an extension option is a good deal, and that is based on what the player has shown in recent seasons. For Gundogan himself this is clearly a good thing, and even when he left Manchester City he had already achieved everything the English team had dreamed of, including the Champions League title they had won this season.

[Jody.Drummer]

Yes, Barcelona benefited from Gundogan joining the squad, Gundogan was brought in for free, and he is a player who has good abilities which has been proven to have contributed to bringing Manchester City to great success this season. Of course his presence in the squad will be welcomed, because at the same time they also need players who can replace Busquets who left this season. They had the right moment, and I think it's the same as what happened last season, like when they brought Lewandowski to Camp Nou.

Gundogan got a 2-year contract with the option of a 1-year extension.  So Barcelona have predicted how effective he will be with Barcelona. 32 years old, the age that is starting to enter the final period of a football player.  It looks like Xavi is trying to take advantage of a short-term moment from Gundogan who has an extraordinary achievement. Gundogan is positioned as a midfielder who has good and creative decision making. Xavi is quite right to sign him, maybe he can be the solution to Barcelona's poor midfielder this season.

At the moment there are rumors that Barcelona have also been offered Sabitzer from Bayern but I still feel that with Gundogan this has closed the void left by Busquets because adding more players in the same position will certainly drain their pockets.
Sabitzer was not in Tuchel's plans for Bayern but given his form at Manchester United I still feel he has something to show for a big club.
Now the possibility is possible if Barcelona are still planning to add players in midfield allowing Sabitzer to enter their radar but if they really don't want to push too far then it is very likely that Sabitzer will be left at Mancehster United.
But if indeed I were in Barcelona's current condition, maximizing Gundogan with the aim of streamlining their cash bookkeeping then of course Sabitzer would not be eyed.

[emrecemsan]

Ancelotti stays for one last season you know and he would be ready to say the best kind of goodbye to his team. This season was a big disappointment for Real Madrid. They were out of the title race for the La Liga early and it wasn't much different in the Champions League either. They seemed quite vulnerable against Manchester City unlike the previous season. They completed the season with only a Copa del Rey title as a result. This was a big fall compared to the previous season in which they won the La Liga and CL titles both.

Real Madrid had better not make do with Joselu transfer and sign a credible striker for both big tournaments as well. After that it is all up to maintaining a high level of team effort.

Barcelona can't sign many players in the same season if it's not a free transfer and players are prepared to accept low wages. If Barcelona force a transfer then it is clear they will continue to increase problems instead of reducing them. Ilkay Gundogan has been wise enough as an alternative in midfield since Busquets joined Inter Miami, so I don't think they need too many players if they don't have a player on sale.

Ferran Torres is said to have been approached by Newcastle, but until now there has been no clarity on this news. If Barcelona can sell several players, then of course they can replace them with other players who are cheaper but experienced and of high quality.

Real Madrid are in a situation where the balance in their squad is bothering them a bit. Last season, up front they struggled a little because they almost always relied on Benzema to be able to make a difference in every match, while Benzema was often unavailable and that had a direct impact on them when trying to score a goal.
It is hoped that this season they will be able to bring in players who can become new colors, especially after it was confirmed that they would be left behind by Benzema who will play for the Arab team. Joselu is expected to be a player who can replace that figure, but I still have doubts about him at this time.

Barcelona must be smart in making transfers so that their pockets are not drained too much because they have to spend a lot of money. and one way to outsmart it all is to make a free transfer like when they got Gundogan from Manchester City. Their financial problems are still unresolved to this day, and that is slowing them down in bringing in the players they want. Last season they were brave in bringing in players and retaining players in the midst of the financial difficulties they experienced, luckily this was paid off by their success getting better and they even won La Liga.

Rumors are that Ancelotti is currently eager to bring in new strikers like Kane, Martinez and even Mbappe. Currently Ancelltotti is also not too satisfied with Real Madrid because they only got one a new striker Joselu, Real Madrid previously lost their two strikers Diaz and also Benzema, so ancelotti wants two new strikers for the coming season. It seems that in his last season, Ancelotti will try very well to get a good record as a legend a coach of Real Madrid.

I think Madrid management is only interested in bringing Mbappe into the team. I haven't heard any rumors that Harry Kane wants to join Madrid. Since Mbappe's contract with PSG is going to expire next season, I don't think Madrid management will waste money on a new experienced striker this season. Joselu has been added to the squad by the Madrid management. Joselu is a very talented player. I think Ancelotti is considering Joselu as Benzema's replacement this season.

Next year Modric will be 38 years old, it is possible for Modric to accept an offer from an Arab club if the offer really comes for him. Modric condition which is still fit, reminds me of Ibrahimovic, even though he is old, he is still able to play the full 90 minutes. Even though he was already a Real Madrid legend and it was an honor to retire as a Real Madrid player, it wasn't too bad for him to spend the rest of his career in the Arab League while earning a lot of money there.

Modric has the Ballon d'Or plus the huge amount of titles he's won with Real Madrid plus he's a Croatian national team legend. In general, he is a big brand and I think that he is guaranteed a fat contract in a year. So turning down the offer this year he did the right thing - he'll have one more season of "serious" football with Real Madrid and then play for a few more years just for the money.

Luca Modric has signed a one-year contract for Real Madrid and will now become the second oldest playing footballer in the history of the Real Madrid club after Puskas. In my opinion, this is the right choice made by Modric considering that some Real Madrid midfielders are still young and still lack experience, maybe with Modric and Kroos it will help them to continue to develop after that Modric and kroor will leave Real Madrid happy to accept Saudi Arabian club offer to collect the coffers of money in their old age.

Now Real Madrid have Modric, Bellingham, Kroos, Valverde, Camavinga, Dani Ceballos and Aurélien Tchouameni. So many options for Real Madrid's midfield next season but will this be enough for them to win the UCL next year? I hope that Real Madrid will get certainty from Mbappe so that this Club will be even more perfect.

[BRINIRHA]

I'm quite happy to see the voting board in this thread has been updated. But looking at the results of the temporary voting, it seems that Barcelona will still gain more confidence in securing the title again in Laliga next season.
I personally also chose to vote for Barcelona. Last season I chose Real Madrid if I remember correctly. But this season I have doubts with Real Madrid who have even lost Benzema. even though they have brought in a striker to fill the void left by Benzema. but I don't think Real Madrid has yet to get a player who can replace Benzema's role.

It is reported that Mbappe may come this season to Real Madrid to fill the Real Madrid front line so that he remains sharp. I look forward to hearing more about this. So if Mbappe really comes to Real Madrid. then maybe Real Madrid will be seeded again.

The competition has not yet started, which means that each club still has time to continue updating their squad as ideally as possible and it is possible that Barcelona will have a difficult opponent next season. So I can still see the reshuffle being carried out, especially Real Madrid. I know that Barcelona has been quite promising so far with the addition of Gundogan, the potential to win a bigger trophy. Because this is football that is difficult to predict, especially when Barcelona is facing a busy schedule by dividing its focus on the Champions League.

Mbappe is still in the contested stage with the arrival of competitors in the transfer market, namely Liverpool automatically demanding Madrid to agree more on the price that PSG has issued.

Well the transfer market is still wide open at this time. And indeed there is still time for all the clubs to strengthen their squad by bringing more great players to the Club. And what is getting the most attention is Real Madrid, who are trying to sign Mbappe. And Real Madrid's owners even seem to want Mbappe ASAP. And I think if Real Madrid get Mbappe then maybe people will tend to favor Real Madrid in the coming season.

Barcelona really have to share the focus in the coming season. Because Barcelona must be able to make good history in the coming season with the aim of having to win the title in the Champions League. Because the Laliga title was won last season. so of course this season Xavi must have other ambitions. The presence of Gundogan certainly makes Barcelona's midfield even more solid. and will make this team's attack flow even better. Because Gundogan is also famous for being a midfielder who often scores goals.

So I can still see the reshuffle being carried out, especially Real Madrid. I know that Barcelona has been quite promising so far with the addition of Gundogan, the potential to win a bigger trophy. Because this is football that is difficult to predict, especially when Barcelona is facing a busy schedule by dividing its focus on the Champions League.

Mbappe is still in the contested stage with the arrival of competitors in the transfer market, namely Liverpool automatically demanding Madrid to agree more on the price that PSG has issued.

Well the transfer market is still wide open at this time. And indeed there is still time for all the clubs to strengthen their squad by bringing more great players to the Club. And what is getting the most attention is Real Madrid, who are trying to sign Mbappe. And Real Madrid's owners even seem to want Mbappe ASAP. And I think if Real Madrid get Mbappe then maybe people will tend to favor Real Madrid in the coming season.

Barcelona really have to share the focus in the coming season. Because Barcelona must be able to make good history in the coming season with the aim of having to win the title in the Champions League. Because the Laliga title was won last season. so of course this season Xavi must have other ambitions. The presence of Gundogan certainly makes Barcelona's midfield even more solid. and will make this team's attack flow even better. Because Gundogan is also famous for being a midfielder who often scores goals.

The transfer market is still open for all the teams but if they have a good financial situation for it. For example, a team like Real Madrid is seeking to find a way to sign a contract with Mbappe, they are rich enough to pay enough him enough money while a team like Barcelona can't even hire normal players and they usually fail to hire players they want because the offer they have from rich Saudi teams. However, hiring Gundogan was a good move from Barcelona so far.

At the moment there are rumors that Barcelona have also been offered Sabitzer from Bayern but I still feel that with Gundogan this has closed the void left by Busquets because adding more players in the same position will certainly drain their pockets.
Sabitzer was not in Tuchel's plans for Bayern but given his form at Manchester United I still feel he has something to show for a big club.
Now the possibility is possible if Barcelona are still planning to add players in midfield allowing Sabitzer to enter their radar but if they really don't want to push too far then it is very likely that Sabitzer will be left at Mancehster United.

I also think that signing Gundogan is enough to replace Busquets position. Barcelona doesn't need more midfielders since they have some good midfielders and Barcelona is likely not allocating too big funds for signing new players. If Barcelona wants a new player, I think they are better to buy strikers. I agree Sabitzer is a skillful midfielder, but he is better to play in other clubs that really need a new midfielder. Arsenal, Man United, or Man City are better clubs to sign Sabitzer. He seems to get more time to play there. Anyway, it is a bit strange that Man United doesn't want to sign him.
