La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[kawetsriyanto]

So far I'm not sure if Joselu is really the right signing for Real Madrid or if it's just an alternative when they leave Benzema. Real Madrid need a better striker than Joselu, but I don't see them in too much of a rush to do it. It is possible that Real Madrid will not sign another striker in the transfer market, but they will in the next transfer market.

There were several top strikers linked with them during the transfer window but none of them actually came through. Kane, Oshimhen, Mbappe and several others have been linked, but so far there has been no clear news from them.

Agree. Real Madrid should sign a better striker to replace Benzema. Joselu is ideally just an alternative striker for Real Madrid, Real Madrid need more than 1 striker since they are playing in some competitions (La Liga, Copa Del Rey, UCL). If Real Madrid only signs Joselu, I think Real Madrid will end up with 0 trophy in the next season. Well, Mbappe or Osimhen is an ideal striker for Real Madrid, these 2 players are proven/experienced strikers in top competitions. The latest rumor, Real Madrid is trying to sign Mbappe in this transfer window. Although it seems not easy, I guess Real Madrid management will do their best to sign Mbappe due to the urgent need of a top striker.

By the way, I heard that Real Madrid gives up to sign Harry Kane because Tottenham wants an unreasonable amount of transfer fees.

Sergio Ramos to Sevilla? Well I would ask, how likely is the transfer to occur?
Sevilla need defenders, of course and if Ramos joins them then Sevilla's defense might be even better. Ramos is one of the best centre-backs who has represented Real Madrid and Spain in many competitions, of course he has also won many titles in his career.

Sevilla can submit a contract to Ramos because he has a free transfer status from PSG. Even if he is the best defender, his future is still unclear because until today Ramos has not found the right team for him next season. He talked about a new shirt when he told PSG fans to leave, but he is still without a club as of now.

That's written above, but maybe it's small possibility. Because at this time Sevilla has also permanently signed L. Bade, a player from the Rennes club who is also a defender in a central position. But if Sevilla can sign Ramos then they have a good option, considering they will have experienced players in defensive positions. Actually I also did not find rumors that were too certain about Sergio Ramos, some media linked him to Sevilla but that was not very clear.

Oriol Romeu got offers from Barcelona while is an important player for Girona and it seems Girtona is unhappy because Barcelona contracted Oriol Romeu, while Girona was not involved and aware of this offer yet.
Regarding Oriol Romeu, we know he can be a good option for teams with financial issues to have a player and fill the Busquets place for them.

The first mistake was not looking for a striker for options when Benzema couldn't play this season indirectly also made Madrid's condition a little weaker because we know Benzema is one of the players who is always the backbone, especially when dealing with goals because he is the main target but this season, he actually had a lot of problems with his body and it couldn't be denied that it was very annoying, which was unfortunate because Madrid didn't look for striker options in transfers, in fact this backfired for them.
Now Benzema is not there but I still don't see who will replace him as a pedestal whether it will only be given to Joselu and Brahim or maybe someone else who is still not available at the moment.
They are still very great and for the midfield and wings I don't doubt the abilities of Modric, Kroos, Valverde, Rodrygo or Vini but indeed when there is no targetman who fits the same vision as Benzema before then this will still be a problem for Madrid this season.

I'm also worried about that so far, obviously because Benzema was an important player for Real Madrid from 2014 to 2023. The impact of Benzema's absence on the pitch was obvious last season, we know Real Madrid struggled to win games because of difficulty scoring goals.

Then from that, last season Real Madrid had Asensio who could help Real Madrid break the deadlock every now and then. But Asensio has now also left Real Madrid. Real Madrid's foundation for next season will be Rodrygo and Vinicius, but if one of the two has to out from team due to injury, then Real Madrid will have to face big problems.

His style of gameplay also suitable with Sevilla, if Sergio Ramos plays for Sevilla then La Liga might be even more interesting, even though Ramos is already old but his contribution is not too bad. Moreover, Ramos started his career at Sevilla, also he has a lot of experience in La Liga, so for sure he might be able to adaptation quickly. Also Sevilla will play in the UCL, they need to strengthen their squad depth and Ramos is a good option.

If in the end he decides to go to Seville, it is likely that it will be the start for him as a professional player as well as the end of his old age this time.
It could indeed be a possible reunion but I think it's up to Sevilla whether they are ready or not to take Ramos back.
Indeed, in this case it is still possible for Ramos to be an option for at least one season for Sevilla but on the other hand, of course, even though it was his former club several decades ago, Ramos also had unfavorable conditions with supporters from Sevilla when he was in Madrid and of course this is me taste will be one of the obstacles for Ramos.

As for the speed, it falls much slower for players of this physique than for relatively "fat" players - a good example is Pepe. He is now 40 years old, but at the World Cup I did not notice that he was slow  

Pepe was probably the oldest defender at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Because in 2022 he was probably around 40 but now he is over 40. He captained Portugal's defense while still in his forties, and he was able to defend his own defense successfully. Maybe he forgot he was 40 years old when he was on the field and we didn't notice any effect of age on his game as he performed brilliantly on the field. 
In this case, Luka Modric's age may not have much effect on his game. Maybe he will do another good season for Real Madrid.

Pepe is a phenomenal player, for me he is at the level of Ronaldo. It's just that the forwards get all the laurels, and the rest of the positions are almost always in the shade, but for me Pepe is one of my favorite players. The only thing that age definitely affected him was his crazy antics  when he was young, you could see a huge number of episodes when he lost emotional control, severely broke the rules and got reds. Sometimes it was epic

I don't think Carlo Ancelotti will leave Real Madrid. Real Madrid failed to win the title last season. Madrid will try their best to win the title next season. Madrid's best player Benzema has left the team. Now if Ancelotti doesn't want to stay in Madrid then Madrid will face a big problem. Madrid cannot find an experienced coach like Carlo Ancelotti at the moment. Madrid management should now provide adequate funds to Carlo Ancelotti. Madrid needs to strengthen the squad if they want to win the title.

Ancelotti still has quite a lot of work for next season and last season will certainly be an important lesson for Ancelotti to improve his team's performance. I don't think Ancelotti has any reason to leave Real Madrid and moreover he has acquired so many talented players in the summer that he really needs to strengthen the squad in all competitions next season. Of course, as a coach who is always targeted to win all competitions is not easy and last season Ancelotti could only present 1 title for Real Madrid, namely the Copa Del Rey trophy.
Certainly for next season Ancelotti will try again to win the two trophies Real Madrid are proud of, namely the La Liga title and the Champions League. Even though it's not easy, with the current development of the squad I think that everything can be achieved and the reasons for leaving Benzema will not completely affect the team's performance to score goals because Real Madrid still have talented players to solve the problem of needing goals.

This is really dependent on the players they can sign in the next couple of weeks because if you think about it, how much and what can Ancelotti change compared to last season when most of the players remain the same and don't get any younger? The analysis isn't easy this time because I am not sure what Real Madrid's issue was. Was it the players in general and do they need new players? Or do existing players just have to perform better and everything is ok? Bringing in Mbappe is good for any team regardless of the issues they have. There is no team Mbappe wouldn't improve, but what is their most pressing issue?

Real Madrid was not weak last season. They performed quite well. However, due to Benzema not playing well consistently, Madrid lost points in several matches. So Madrid can't win the title. Moreover, Madrid's squad was very strong and there were no weaknesses in the squad. But since Benzema has left the team. So if Ancelotti doesn't find a suitable replacement for Benzema, Madrid's performance is likely to be poor next season. I think it's unlikely that Mbappe will play in Madrid's jersey. Whether Joselu can be a worthy replacement for Benzema is hard to predict.

There were no weaknesses in the squad? They had zero chance to win La Liga. They scored roughly 2 goals on average per game and they conceded roughly 1 goal on average per game. To me that doesn't sound like Real Madrid. They had better times when they scored far in excess of 100 goals per season and even if they conceded 1 goal on average, it didn't matter. Saying that they performed quite well is on the upper bound of optimism when it comes to evaluating their performance. They had great games and they had lots of bad games when the team themselves admitted that it wasn't enough too often times in the last season.

Sergio Ramos is a strong defender when he is in Real Madrid. But I don't think he is as strong as in Real Madrid after he was moving to PSG. Ramos is already 37 years old, he can't maintain his best form anymore. I'm not sure Ramos can strengthen Sevilla defense at his current age, specifically he often gets injured recently. If there are other younger defenders that can be signed by Sevilla, I think it is better to not signing Ramos. But it is okay if Ramos is only an alternative defender, for a substitution player.

Yes. Unfortunately, no teams that are really serious to sign Ramos. But I think he may go to SPL or MLS.

Maybe cause he wants to stay around his family and not far away from home, else he should have considered a move for Saudi Arabian Clubs.

They qualified for the Champions League after winning the Europa League Competition again against Roma on Penalties, they need such a winner, leader and fighter, my problem with him are just too much of the red card he gets. Lol. Good move if the information is found valid.

Ramos is a great option for Sevilla, of course because we know him well.
Sergio Ramos is still an influential player in defense even if he is no longer as physically fit as he was at Real Madrid. Sevilla has a chance to seal him because Ramos no longer has a contract with any team. PSG are not extending his contract and he may not be needed anymore, but other teams should be able to offer him a contract because his experience can help make the team stronger.

But I want to know, has any team made a bid for Ramos so far? Don't let Barcelona sign him, LOL.

Rumors that are not very clear could be just a play and chances are they won't happen. But if the rumors actually materialize, I think Sevilla will be a team that their rivals are more aware of in La Liga and also in other competitions such as the UCL. Because with a stronger defense in a team, of course there will be fewer goals conceded for that team and the team must also have a striker who is able to score more goals. So that their strength can be evenly distributed on all fronts.

Sergio Ramos is currently 37 years of age and might not be as agile and responsive like the Sergio Ramos of years ago but that doesn't change the fact that he still remains as one the best defenders in the world at the moment.

If he finally decides to join Sevilla then it'll be because of the love he has for his his boyhood club and probably because he wants to call it a day in his illustrious career as a Sevilla player

Sevilla itself has quite an important meaning for Ramos because he started his professional career as a footballer at Sevilla. so indeed at this time he really wants to return to Seville, that's the rumor. however in reality his hopes are not as smooth sailing as one would like as Sevilla's transfer may not happen easily. Whether it's because of salary calculations or something else, the decision is still uncertain

Despite his age, I think he would be a great addition to Seville's defense. With the experience he has gained over the years especially from the la Liga and on top of his very good fighting spirit and Leadership skills, I don't see why this should be a bad deal for both parties as Ramos would be looking to wind down his colorful career

I think the same with him going to MLS and it might end up on Inter alongside Messi because they already played for 2 years at PSG so I suppose they can play again in MLS as well , especially now when Inter Miami really needs a player like Ramos who has a lot of experience behind him that could help Miami's defenders.

His second best choice will be Saudia Arabia as even if we believe it or not , that championship is becoming stronger and stronger.

[X-ray]

I do not think theres anything wrong with Sergio Ramos being clubless, Sergio Ramos is old, past his best and injury prone; it is only normal if no top clubs wants to sign him anymore even as a free player. If i were Sergio Ramos agent, it is time to find a new club in the American League or even Saudi arabia. or what do you think ?

Ramos has got an offer from saudi but he has not yet said yes to join on it. He is still looking for a club in european league that is still willing use his skills. That's why he puts a lot of hopes for sevilla as former of his club in the past to play in.
Sevilla has not yet released any confirmation regarding this. Ramos's future is still uncertain at this moment in european league especially in spanyol. That's why he has been rejecting saudi's offer.
If you were keeping update with the latest nws and you will know that real story behind it. Ramos is still wanna playing in professional football. Being clubless is something wrong in his life.
He wanna get a club as soon as possible but he does have bad relationship with sevilla's supporters.

Yes. Unfortunately, no teams that are really serious to sign Ramos. But I think he may go to SPL or MLS.

The main thing is in terms of age that is getting older which makes someone quickly lose their energy on the field. Indeed, there is no doubt about the quality of Sergio Ramos, but his golden era is over and that's what we see for now. Since he joined PSG he has relatively become a core player in the PSG team in guarding the PSG defense and at the end of this season he has officially become a free transfer player. But for now it seems that there are no teams from Europe who are really interested in getting Sergio Ramos after he became a free transfer player. Apart from the age factor it's likely he has been injured a lot and I hope he will go to an easier league at the end of his career. Well for Real Madrid indeed they did quite a good job in the transfer window this season after signing Bellingham of course Real Madrid will sign another player who will most likely be a centre-forward. For now, only the name Mbappe is highly coveted to become a Real Madrid centre-forward.

What kind of Ramos, what kind of Sevilla?! Only now there was information that Sevilla, due to debts, is putting up for sale all the players according to Marca. The club now has a debt of 90 million, which needs to be paid off urgently. Also, do not forget about the departure of sports director Ramon Monchi to Aston Villa 2 weeks ago. It's funny and sad at the same time, if all this is true, when a club that has just won the Europa League, which has to play for the UEFA Super Cup in a month and a half, is forced to sell off its entire squad because of debts.

Pepe was probably the oldest defender at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Because in 2022 he was probably around 40 but now he is over 40. He captained Portugal's defense while still in his forties, and he was able to defend his own defense successfully. Maybe he forgot he was 40 years old when he was on the field and we didn't notice any effect of age on his game as he performed brilliantly on the field.  
In this case, Luka Modric's age may not have much effect on his game. Maybe he will do another good season for Real Madrid.

Players like Pepe and Luka Modric are exceptional, their consistency and their love for the game is incredible. Seeing Pepe still making the Portugese national first team line ups makes me wonder if he is human or a machine, these guys are clearly built different and their ability to maintain form and fitness at this age is amazing. It’s incredible to see they are still making impact in the game.

Neymar has been rumored to leave PSG for a long time. Seeing the possibility of leaving PSG, Saudi clubs have already offered Neymar to play in the Saudi league, but Neymar will probably not play in the Saudi league. If Neymar leaves PSG, he may take a pay cut and return to the English Premier League or La Liga. I think at the moment he will try to stay in European clubs even if he takes a bit of a pay cut. Because at the moment his football still has a lot to achieve. And if it is not in Europe, this achievement will never be possible. After playing in Europe for three to four years, he can return to the Saudi League.

This rumor have been going round for a while now yet no official bid has been made for the player, first it was rumored that Manchester United are interested in signing him this summer then he was linked to Manchester City but they never made an offer, I feel these are all mere rumors with no fact to them.

[Ayers]

Mbappe can be a worthy replacement for Karim Benzema. I think even Mbappe can perform better than Benzema with Madrid. However, it is completely uncertain whether Mbappe will join Real Madrid. Moreover, Joselu has been recruited by Madrid management. On the other hand, Liverpool are interested in spending 300 million for Mbappe. The chances of seeing Mbappe with Real Madrid are diminishing by the day. Mbappe has disappointed Madrid fans in each of the past seasons.

Maybe, Mbappe can become Karim Benzema's successor. because Mbappe meets the requirements and capacities he has with the talent and skills he has. However, I don't agree that we have to compare if Mbappe can be better than Benzema with Madrid. because these two players have different flying hours and ages. Benzema, is one of the players who contributed greatly.
now for Mbappe, he has not proven that he can bring Madrid to win many trophies in various competitions. because how can we find out, after all, Mbappe's status is still part of PSG.

As for Joselu, I don't want to speculate too much about this player. but at least, Don Carlo really knows what he is doing. So, let's just follow how Real Madrid progresses in recruiting newcomers. for Liverpool, I heard rumors that they are interested in signing Mbappe for a fantastic fee. but to be honest, I didn't really respond to the rumours. in fact, there is a high possibility that the report is a rumor that is not true.

Mbappe is going to be the next great striker for Real Madrid in my opinion. I don’t know if Real Madrid is going to bring in someone else who will prove to be better or even close to the performance that Mbappé can give Real Madrid. Joselu is just a temporary solution for Real Madrid.

We all know that Mbappé is the main target of Real Madrid. They just do not want to give away 150/200 million right now for the player, especially when he's going to become a free agent the next season. let's see how this decision turns out for Real Madrid.
