La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[asriloni]

I guess Real Madrid have made multiple positive moves to bring in the best players to the club and targeting mbappe is one of those moves that is succeeded and could change the current state of the club in the next season,  but also we have to take into accounts the possibility of the player being retained in his present club since his contract has not expired and unless he is going on a loan which is an option know real Madrid will not accept.

No move for mbappe please, it has been confirmed so many news if madrid can't afford to pay what mbappe wanted. PSG is not having other option for now. Real madrid has no money to be wasted for only a player.
There are so many important things rather than buying mbappe from PSG. Mbappe only able to join in madrid if he will be free agent. Madrid is now even wanna offering him a contract if mbappe is still putting the big wall for his release clause.
No chance to talk mbappe to join in madrid for now. Next year may be different as mbappe gonna leave with free transfer agent.

I've already made up my mind that Real Madrid will win La Liga further next season; they didn't perform up to expectations this past season, therefore they'll make up for it this season. There are many things to look forward to in the new season for Real Madrid and Barcelona. Both teams are preparing fully for the upcoming season, with little room for hesitation, and they will emerge with beneficial results. Carlo Ancelotti and Xavi Hernandez have been successful in breaking into the system, producing good results and high-quality players with significant ambition experience and spirit.

Çağlar Söyüncü will sign a 4-year contract with Atletico Madrid. Çağlar both guaranteed his future and went to another league at a very high level. We can't say it's a downgrade, it's definitely a good thing to go from one of the middle tier teams in the Premier League to the third biggest club in La Liga. It can even be considered an upgrade. Of course, the competition for jerseys will be much tougher there. Çağlar has to work hard and get the jersey. He is now in the years that should have been at the peak of his career.

Atletico Madrid signs the right player, Çağlar Söyüncü is a strong defender but he was just unlucky to play in the wrong team previously. Now, joining Atletico Madrid should be a better career for him, he can play in a big team and has a chance to win a trophy. 4 years is a long duration of contracts, it means Atletico Madrid really believes in his future. It is time for Söyüncü to show his best form, he probably becomes the main defender in Atletico Madrid.

By the way, La Liga is also a competitive league, he plays in a big league, too. So, there is no much different with EPL, he is still playing in the top leagues in the world.

Considering the fact that he is young and he has the chance to grow, that means they got a player that is already at near starting eleven level, maybe already there by the time season starts, and could play maybe as much as 10 years, ok maybe ten is too much, he is 27, and there are very few players who play until 37, some do but very rare, but he can play at least 5 more years without a doubt.

He already provided how good he can be at premier league, and had a lot of great moments as well, I am guessing that he will definitely be good enough for ATM as well for that reason. I am not saying it is going to be easy or anything like that but I am guessing that the best thing to do will be just waiting and seeing. This was a terrible move by Leicester, losing a player like him for free.

Mbappe has a firm stance on moving to Real Madrid, and the initiative is mutual. The only thing is that Real Madrid themselves have stated that they will begin to work on the transfer next year, plus the Frenchman still has a contract with PSG

Mbappe is interested in joining Real Madrid, I have heard about it a lot. But Real Madrid themselves didn't put too much effort into signing him and approached PSG openly and made an offer. Real Madrid only seemed to have made a personal agreement with Mbappe's representatives, and perhaps it was Real Madrid's way of bringing Mbappe to the Bernabeu for free.

Mbappe transfer process needs to be completed immediately by Real Madrid if they want the position left by Benzema to be filled by the player Perez has always wanted to be in the Real Madrid squad. PSG who wanted Mbappe price to be too high made Real Madrid steps stop immediately, Real Madrid considered that the price asked by PSG was too high, which made the negotiation process fail. A personal agreement with Mbappe's representative will not change anything for Real Madrid. When a club is willing to pay Mbappe's release clause as desired by PSG, Real Madrid must be prepared to lose the player they have been after so far playing for another club.

Real madrid is trying so hard to defend valverde from another club. Liverpool has been sending its bid a few times for valverde but real madrid was rejecting it. I see that how hard liverpool is trying to take madrid's midfielder.
I know that valverde is still having lots of potential. liverpool has bought allister and dominik but that's not enough.

Liverpool as been reportedly sending huge bid for valverde.

Liverpool have made a second offer for Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde after having a £69m bid turned down, according to reports in Spain.
The Reds are looking to bring in one more midfielder this summer after sealing a bargain £35m deal for Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton and a transfer for Hungary international Dominik Szoboszlai.

Real madrid wants keep him even longer. Valverde is underrated player. Real madrid rejected so many offers from english club for him. Valverde is a really important player for real madrid.

There are some football players who play in the team when they are on the field and we can call them invisible heroes. It feels good and gives confidence to the team. Valverde is one such player. One of the stars of Real Madrid on the field. Liverpool do not want to repeat last season's failure. That's why they're after Valverde. Liverpool's offer for Valverde is good, but if Real Madrid accepts this offer, there is no player to fill his place. It is very difficult for them to buy Valverde quality players with the money they will get from the transfer. So I don't think they will accept this offer.

A football player like Benzema left the team and Real Madrid lost great power. They will not allow any more of their players to leave.

Federico Valverde has 100 millions release clause into his contract but Liverpool has attempts to bought him from Real Madrid and probably they will dare to pay acoording to clause price but Ancelotti himself admitted Valverde is important player for Real Madrid and we can see it from Valverde statistics that during last season he was play 56 times and scores 12 goals i think this is proven Ancelotti trust Valverde to playing regularly for almost every matches although this summer Real Madrid already bought Bellingham but i think it won't be threaten Valverde position into lineup because Valverde is a player who can be played in various positions such as attacking midfielder or as the winger and last season he can performing well as a winger so Real Madrid still needed him and i think it is unlikely for Liverpool to get him this summer

There are several considerations that must be considered in this matter, because apart from this player it is a business and of course Madrid is also trying to minimize the large amount of finances in recruiting Mbappe if they intend to bring in this player.
We know Mbappe's current value is around 300 million and this certainly exceeds expectations for the price of a player.
Indeed, if we are looking for a replacement for Benzema then Mbappe can be a decent figure and can be used as a benchmark for attack lines, but when the price set by PSG is also very high then surely Madrid will try to play some tricks so they can get Mbappe but at a price that is not too expensive.

Valverde is still very much needed by Real Madrid so an offer that is not too high will certainly be rejected by Real Madrid. And right now Liverpool are in need of a midfielder. because there are already around 3 Liverpool midfielder players who left Liverpool in this transfer market. And now Liverpool have got 2 new midfielders. and of course Liverpool still need 1 additional midfielder again. And it is possible that Liverpool will return with a higher offer for Valverde.

I think Real Madrid can wait another year to add Kylian Mbappe to their free roster. If Psg wants to sell it, they have to agree on a price. He has one year until his contract expires and if they can't sell him in this transfer window, he will be at Real Madrid for free next year. This is something Psg would not want.

Valverde is one of players who were bought as future preparation for Real Madrid. In last several seasons, he is one of most fastest growing players together with two Brazilian players Vinicius and Rodrygo. Real Madrid will not sell Valverde when they need him and both are happy with each other. Valverde did not say any word that he is not happy in Madrid and want to leave the club.

The offer from Liverpool is not big enough to bring Valverde out of Bernabeu too. Real Madrid is not a club that is ready to sell their star players when they are young and usable for the club. Especially with Valverde, we know he is happy with his club, not like Nikolas Anelka in the past.

Every team will want to sign Valverde and have him play for them, but for the time being Real Madrid won't allow him to leave because he is one of their best players and will perform well in the upcoming season no matter what is going on or how much more money is offered. This is due to Real Madrid's policy of never trading away a star player, especially one who is still proficient in his position.
I'm assuming that there are some teams, like Liverpool, Barcelona, and Chelsea, that are constantly on the lookout for good players and are willing to pay whatever price is necessary to acquire them. These teams want to ensure that they have all the ideal players in their lineup for the upcoming season.

And it's not just Real Madrid who will try to keep Valverde at the club. But Valverde himself has commented in an interview that he said he has no interest in playing for another club. He said he was very comfortable playing at his current club (Real Madrid) so he didn't want to leave his current club. And actually Liverpool have been eyeing Valverde since a few months ago. But as we know Real Madrid will not sell players who contribute a lot to the club. especially if it is a star player that the club really needs. Real Madrid has always managed to retain the star players they have.

After the rumors about Mbappe going to Liverpool, now there are rumors about Valverde going to Liverpool again. I can't understand how the media can make cheap rumors like this and it's strange that many people quite believe in the transfer of important players at a club.

I think Valverde will never leave Real Madrid and has already made a statement in the official Real Madrid documentary entitled "Until The End" which was released on Apple TV and he also said what is shown in this screenshot. So it's clear that whoever wants Valverde, they have to do something very dangerous and that's the spirit of Real Madrid that is so attached to Valverde.

Correct. Even though it would be extraordinary if Real Madrid dared to redeem the current Mbappe from PSG. Because waiting until next season until Mbappe and PSG's contracts run out. so I think until then it's not certain that Mbappe will go to Real Madrid. It is possible that at that time Mbappe would be more interested in going to another club with a higher offer. because we know that many other big clubs like clubs from the premier league also want Mbappe. one of them is Manchester United. even if Manchester United was successfully acquired by Sheikh Jassim. then I think it is possible that Manchester United with its new owner will dare to pay a high price for Mbappe.

a great signing, I like him very much as a player and he will certainly do well for Real Madrid who need people who run
Benzema can act as playmaker, a no less important role and pass the winners to whoever scores

Real Madrid can minimize funds by running a trick to get Mbappe for free, Mbappe contract, which has one more year left, can be utilized by Madrid by approaching Mbappe to make a verbal agreement. If they persist in wanting to bring in Mbappe in this transfer window, they will have to spend large amounts of money. One year is not a long time, at least Madrid must be patient in order to get benefits.
PSG can't seem to read the situation properly, Mbappe has rejected the offer of a contract extension, PSG should be aware of that. Letting Mbappe go this season is the best solution for PSG to get some money rather than letting him leave after his contract expires.

[naira]

But I'm sure that if Madrid can be patient then Mbappe will also determine his attitude to move closer to the Santiago Bernabeu. The French striker will definitely want to wear an El Real shirt and I'm not sure he will go to Arsenal or Liverpool

We only need to see 2 agreements work out between Florentino Perez and Mbappe mother because that's the only way for Mbappe to really be able to play at Real Madrid. If indeed Mbappe is determined to play with Madrid as his dream since childhood.

snip~

Indeed, maybe it will be difficult for Sociedad because their schedule will of course be even tighter in the next new season, at this time I haven't heard again of any players recruited by Real Sociedad, previously they only recruited Hamari Traoré. But maybe they will sign another striker to new season, because at the moment they are lost one of their strikers which on loan status, I mean Alexander Sørloth if I'm not mistaken he has returned to Leipzig.

A sufficient budget, ideally the squad owned by a team is at least the capital that Real Sociedad must have. But they are in an environment with a limited budget so if speaking in general to really be able to compete with a stable club then I think it will be difficult for Real Sociedad to qualify from the group stage in the future. However, it all comes back to the mentality and determination of the Real Sociedad players, because, to be fair, the Champions League competition is very tight, even the most ideal club can fail. The mentality of the players is very decisive, after all, Real Sociedad's target in the Champions League will not be excessive. They certainly play according to their capacity and even if they fail, they won't be disappointed. The most important thing for Real Sociedad now and next season is to be able to stay in the safe La Liga standings and minimize avoiding the relegation zone.

That's one of the scenarios Real Madrid can take if they want to get Mbappe even without spending money to redeem him from Real Madrid. One season is not a long time, but the problem is that Real Madrid desperately need a player to replace Benzema up front. Indeed, they already have Joselu at the moment, but the problem is that it does not match the expectations that many people expect, because the players who have been linked with Real Madrid are like Harry Kane. I don't mean to underestimate the ability of Joselu, but in this case we must have our own criteria in seeing a suitable player to fill the front line left by Benzema this season.

It seems that Real Madrid does not want to be too open and or aggressive to recruit Mbappe because after all, maybe the incident in the transfer window at that time was a big lesson for Real Madrid. Because yes, Real Madrid certainly do not want to be disappointed for the second time, so this time Real Madrid will certainly be more careful regarding Mbappe. Also, it seems that at this moment the internal Real Madrid and Ancelotti do not seem to be in a good situation, so with a little tension in their internal, then maybe it also makes Real Madrid at this moment may be more vigilant. Because, if their situation does not improve then it is possible that Ancelotti may be in Brazil sooner and or fail to recruit Mbappe.
