La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[jakdanyel]

I don't think Real Madrid's priority is to sign Mbappe right now. Because they will have to pay a huge amount for not only his transfer fee but also for his contract details. I don't feel like Real Madrid would like to reel under this kind of a deal as priority. They must be just observing his situation afar for now.

PSG don't want to lose him for free as you know so we never know what their next move will be. If we see some other team making an offer for Mbappe then Real Madrid would like to intervene and try to sign him for themselves. Because Real Madrid want this deal but they just want to finish this by paying minimum amount.

The local media in my country picked up a lot of news about Joao Felix. It seems that he is indeed much talked about because of his ability, especially since he is linked with Barcelona. In fact, he admits privately he is very interested in joining Barcelona. But I don't really understand what price atetico offered for his departure. Because Barcelona certainly have to limit large transfers to avoid FFP sanctions. 

Yes it's true, it's very unlikely that Barca will recruit Jao Felix because the price is very expensive at the moment. Atletico Madrid had to spend 160 Million Euros to sign him from Benfica in 2019, currently his price is around 85 million Euros and you can see it on the transfermarkt website. On the other hand it is true that Barca will have to limit their spending on signings in order to avoid the FFP sanctions from La Liga.

Felix current value seems to have decreased if you look at when he was recruited from Benfica, in my opinion this was influenced by his performance on the field with Atletico Madrid. Chelsea seem reluctant to make Felix permanent after his loan period ends, and for now Felix is back at the ATM.

The chance of him playing also affects his market value so that his market value decreases. There is nothing to highlight when the opportunities he has are not many and that is one of the reasons in my opinion.
Regarding his possibility of leaving Barcelona, I agree with what you said, that the current situation faced by Barcelona does not allow them to recruit Felix from Atletico Madrid. Moreover, the squad they have at this time I see enough to bring them to be able to compete in tight competition next season. But for the Champions League, I still have to see their latest performance. Because last season they were also good in La Liga, but not in the European competition.

The cost of bringing in a very expensive one is indeed possible to make Real Madrid rethink about bringing him in, maybe they will also wait until his contract with PSG really runs out to make them not spend a lot of money.

I also see talk of Mbappe and Real Madrid subsiding a little now, one of the reasons why that might happen might be because of that, the first is the expensive transfer fee, the second is PSG still wants Mbappe in the squad, and with a statement from Perez some time ago, he said that Real Madrid's movement in the transfer market this season might be enough until here.

Or will there be any surprises as the transfer window draws to a close? Interesting enough.

According to journalist Achraf Ben Ayad, FC Barcelona youngster Julian Araujo is ‘seriously considering’ the offer to join newly-promoted club UD Las Palmas on loan this summer.

Reports last week suggested that Las Palmas were gunning to sign the 21-year-old on loan for the upcoming campaign and it was indicated that a deal might be close to completion.

However, follow-up reports then claimed that it was not the case and that Araujo was keen on proving himself to Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez during the pre-season and staying at the club.

Araujo was facing difficulty in competing with another playe right back in barcelona. He is now potentially leaving from barcelona as a loan to the las palmas. I think that is even better for him consider he doesn't wanna leave from the club. He is willing to stay in the barcelona.
Loaning him has become the right option by barcelona caused by the club has so many right back at this moment. There must be some people to be loaned to another club. Araujo may not only become a player that will be sending out to another club.
Xavi has been committing in giving more time for the young players to play. It sounds good but it seemed to me if what xavi said will be far from the reality. The fact that if barcelona will always need to use experienced player.
Im feeling doubt if xavi will able to divide the time proportionally for young players of barcelona. Im thinking about barcelona must have done rotations in any matches.

I have observed that both wing back positions are crucial positions that if neglected can cause serious problems for a team. Araujo’s performance has dropped and has prompted Xavi to employ the services of a better wing back for his team in the coming season. Araujo can stay and become a good substitute in that position but Xavi prefers sending him on loan for more improvement and playing time.

I heard the news and I had the thought that a young player like Joao Felix wants to join Barcelona because we know that if he is young and has the ambition to want to join a top team maybe it a dream. I'm not sure about my thoughts but I'm just trying to guess because it only natural that a young player want to continue his career in a top team like Barcelona to be able to get a big name from that team.
but with another thought even though Barcelona itself has a bit of bad finances and if Joao Felix wants to join the team are they ready for a salary that is not big.
well, there are still pros and cons regarding the news from Joao Felix to ask to move to Barcelona and we see if the rumors are true or not.

Joao Felix's statement is true that he wants to join Barcelona and he is very, very happy if he can later be in his childhood dream team. This is quite surprising whether he really doesn't feel comfortable at Atletico or he really wants to be able to win a title if he joins Barcelona, because at least if he joins Barcelona then his chances of winning the La Liga title will be very open. But indeed Barcelona's current financial problems make it impossible for Joao Felix to join.

Maybe that was the trigger for him not feeling at home at Atletico because since he was brought in in 2019 he was only able to win the La Liga title once in the 20/21 season. As a soccer player, even if there is an internal conflict with the team or thinking about a better future, in my opinion, it doesn't matter as long as the player can develop even more in his new team later. Joao Felix is still very young and he needs more experience to pursue his other dreams.

If you look at the Real Madrid transfer market this summer they have recruited a number of players such as Jude Bellingham, Arda Guler, Juselu and Fran Garcia and the costs incurred were 128 million euros. To recruit a Mbappe, Madrid must prepare a bigger budget namely 180 million Euros. I don't think Madrid can't pay that kind of money, a more reasonable reason i think they avoid being subject to FFP sanctions from La Liga.

Something interesting happened in the PSG squad's inaugural training yesterday, Nassr Al Khelaifi as the owner of the club reportedly quipped Mbappe "this club is bigger than anyone including me" in his speech. It will be even more interesting to see how PSG treat Mbappe next season, for sure he will not be released for free.

This Mbape deal is really going to be complicated because Mbape is highly placed at PSG and a transfer to another club is really going to cost a very hefty amount.Real Madrid wanted to sign him but I believe they will be considering all these factors in his transfer and will witdraw,and it appears Mbape doesn't want to stay at PSG again because his friend Lionel Messi  has left to another team,and also because he has not been able to achieve what he aimed to achieve which is the Champions league and the Ballon d'or.But it really surprises me atimes when I think of the calibre of players that were at the club and they weren't able to win the Champions league,it's really amazing but I've seen in football that it's not all about individual performance,but a collective responsibility to make the team achieve one dream.

[KTChampions]

PSG is not obstructing the transfer of Mbappe The biggest problem with the transfer of Mbappe is the issue of Mbappe leaving the club as a free agent member. PSG will never allow Mbappe to leave the club as a free agent because if Mbappe leaves the club as a free agent, PSG will suffer a huge financial loss. PSG management wants Mbappe to change teams this season or extend his contract with PSG for one more season because if he changes teams this season too, PSG will get a part of the money from Mbappe's transfer. Due to the conflict between Mbappe and PSC, Real Madrid has failed to sign Mbappe so far, but Mbappe's next destination will be Real Madrid, either as a free agent member or under contract with the club.

Until the end of July (when PSG will have to pay Mbappe 40 million for loyalty) there are only 12 days left and I see that the strategy of Real (do nothing  ) is working 100% 
If PSG don't sell Mbappe, their spending balance will be in a huge negative and this will affect their ability in the transfer market (even if they are cheaters). Therefore, the closer to July 31, the higher the desire of PSG to get rid of Mbappe and, in theory, they should reduce the price of him.

Initially, Joao Felix played at Chelsea but Pochettino did not want him to be in the main squad, so with the status of a loan player Joao Felix was returned to Atletico Madrid where he himself no longer wanted to play for the club. When there is an offer from the Barcelona club he will automatically take it with pleasure and will not refuse it at all, as well as his dream club as if he will be given a way to get out of Atletico Madrid.

If you look at the Real Madrid transfer market this summer they have recruited a number of players such as Jude Bellingham, Arda Guler, Juselu and Fran Garcia and the costs incurred were 128 million euros.

It's not that Real Madrid can't afford to pay Mbappe, but they are aware that paying with his status for another year makes Madrid prefer not to respond much to his purchases anymore. After all, at this time, with the squad you have, at least some of the gaps have been filled, although not as perfect as when Benzema was there. I'm sure that for next season's competition, Real Madrid can still show a balanced competition.

If Nassr Al Khelaifi said so from the start, then why at that time was Mbappe given something they never acknowledged? Nassr Al Khelaifi just doesn't want to lose at the end so it's not surprising when he says so to the media, it's clear that we all know what kind of bid last season was for Mbappe that made him comfortable both in salary and in his desire to choose players at PSG.

[hahay]

After loaning to Chelsea on second half season, seems João Félix is not in the plan for Simeone and almost the same for next season because he has offer to Atletico Madrid management for putting João Félix in the name player for selling.

The local media in my country picked up a lot of news about Joao Felix. It seems that he is indeed much talked about because of his ability, especially since he is linked with Barcelona. In fact, he admits privately he is very interested in joining Barcelona. But I don't really understand what price atetico offered for his departure. Because Barcelona certainly have to limit large transfers to avoid FFP sanctions. 

Basically I quite agree if Joao Felix plays for Barcelona next season but yes, at least Barcelona financial condition also seems to be difficult to be able to bring Joao Felix. But yes, hopefully Barcelona will find the right way to be able to sign Joao Felix because after all, in Barcelona's difficult times last season Barcelona also managed to bring in some expensive players. So yes, because at this moment maybe Joao Felix is an expensive transfer, then Barcelona should be able to work on it too.

PSG will not want to lose more money to Mbappe but only want to maximum money from Mbappe transfer. Real Madrid is a club which shows biggest interest for Mbappe and is dealing with PSG and they will be best partner for PSG to sell the player. Your thinking is logic as PSG will have to complete it with pressure from both Mbappe and Real Madrid. They will no have enough time ask too much from Real Madrid. At the end, they will have to sell Mbappe at lower price than their initial demand.

I believe there will be an increase in Barcelona's performance for next season, Xavi has had a very positive impact on the revival of the Barcelona team.

I think that by bringing some world class players like gundogan will be helping barcelona so much in building its club for next season. The fact that if barcelona lack of world class player in the club since busquets and some important players already left from the club. Bernardo silva has become the next target by barcleona. Xavi si trying to build the squad as good as possible by hijacking more players from best squads in the world owned by manchester city. I have heard that if bernardo silva was also interesting to join in barcelona. The only problem if barcelona has no good financial to send bid for him. The club was seeing swap transfer as the best way to get silva from city.

And to bring in Joao Felix I think it's almost impossible for Barcelona, because of the financial problems that are still befalling this team and also the needs of a team that in my opinion is currently sufficiently qualified, apart from the quality of Joao Felix which is still good.

I do agree if it's impossible for barcelona right now. It will never happen. The fact that if barcelona is still having a lot of debts to be paid. Barcelona is not even completing the request from la liga to raise 200 millions to rebalancing its financial.
The club has been taking financial clever a few times but it doesn't give huge impact to the club. I see no chance for barcelona to get him caused by this club has no money at this moment.

Barcelona team managed to perform well last season. The team managed to secure the Laliga title. The coach of the team may bring some great changes this season. Manchester City's former captain Gundogan has already been brought into the team.

Atletico Madrid bring Joao Felix from Benfica in the 19/20 season for over €120 million. Quote from the transfermarkt media, the Portuguese player has a market value of € 50 million, this value can increase depend on how much the club wants Felix. I doubt Barcelona will get him apart from the transfer fee which is of course quite high, the Joao Felix issue has been spreadi since the last two seasons even before this Felix is report close to reach an agreement with Manchester United but what happened is  atletico chose the loan option to Chelsea last season. I conclude that Atletico still want to take advantage of Felix and have no intention of selling him

It's true that Joao Felix's fate is quite unlucky, even though he looks very comfortable at Chelsea but with Pochettino he can't get his name into the squad list. It must be admitted that his talent is now starting to fade if it is not immediately handled by the right team and maybe when he returns to Atletico he will feel that he cannot develop his talent.

I think this situation looks complicated for the future of Joao Felix and even though barcelona are interested in signing him it could happen, but of course barcelona cannot pay the full amount and maybe barcelona will make several installments to pay it off. Well, if later there is an offer from Barcelona and Atletico agrees with an installment transfer fee, I don't think that's a bad thing, especially since Joao Felix is also a very good player.

Recruiting new players will still be carried out by Real Madrid in order to improve the quality of the team after failing to win the La Liga trophy and the Champions League trophy last season. This season Real Madrid has lost several players, the arrival of new players is needed by Real Madrid in this transfer market.
Several players have been brought in on different lines, Real Madrid still needs additional players in the striker position to improve the quality of attack. Barcelona is slowly starting to improve after bringing in several quality players last season, Barcelona success in winning a trophy last season was thanks to Xavi gentle touch. Barcelona and Real Madrid are still trying to maximize the strength of the team in order to maintain the opportunity to get a trophy at the end of the season.

The striker position is one that is needed to increase attacks in the next season because this position has been abandoned by Benzema, so Real Madrid must have a plan to get a forward with better quality. Rumors of several forward players who are said to be joining Real Madrid have also not found a bright spot where until now there are still so many obstacles for Real Madrid to reach an agreement.

Barcelona is also having a bit of financial problems, making it difficult for them to bring in the players they need, so they are trying to take advantage of the potential for players who are more affordable to buy. Both of them will try to take advantage of the opportunities that exist and of course the competition next season will be much more competitive to fight for the La Liga title and competition in the Champions League.

Even having halved their requirements, PSG will still remain in the black - they will not pay Mbappe 40 million for loyalty + save his salary for the whole year (I think this amount is enough to pay the salary of 5 new top players lol). Therefore, despite the absurd news like "Mbappe has decided to stay at PSG until the end of the contract" I'm waiting for news about the transfer. By the way, it would be interesting to see how the bookmakers assess the likelihood of his transfer.

Yeah, Joao fits in perfectly well with blues ( Chelsea ) Lads is a player that has so much potentials but not at Athletico Madrid. If you look at his style of play, he's always attacking and does deserves to play for a club that attacks very well and that club's not Athletico Madrid.
Pochetino Mauricio would definitely have his reasons for not wanting to work with him. ( Diego Simeone had whispered to Pochetino ? ) Nott sure!

Talking about working with Barcelona when he has contract with Athletico Madrid is completely Bs and unprofessional and has shown indirectly that he's not happy working at Athletico Madrid and wants a better challenge with a different team and club. I really do hope he gets whatever he desires. Barcelona though has Fati, I ain't sure they want Joao Felix.

well, there are still pros and cons regarding the news from Joao Felix to ask to move to Barcelona and we see if the rumors are true or not.

If that could actually happen then they could lovingly accept him there and he could play amazingly there. I know that there are financial troubles there but if they could end up making it work and somehow get him there then I feel like it is going to be a bit of a difficult situation.

It is going to be something that you are going to have to deal with, and we are not going to end up getting anything else done for that time period, but if we could end up with a better situation for them and they could make it work then we are going to see them get the player and be much better. They did it last year, sold some stuff up and got the player, and they were considering getting Messi as well, so it would be smart to say they should find the money somewhere.
