La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[ShowOff]

Karim Benzema has now left the team. There's no use talking about it right now. It seems to me that Ancelotti may be planning a big change right now. Midfield has a lot of options. A serious transfer to the forward is necessary. If they get a player for the forward and this player becomes a world class name - Mbappe for example - I think no one can prevent Real Madrid.

It is true that there is no point in talking about players who have left Real Madrid, but it has certainly cost Real Madrid from an aspect of the game. Benzema has been a key player for Real Madrid for several seasons especially in the striker position, so it's always important to find a replacement.

So far Ancelotti has stated that he is satisfied with the squad he has, but I believe he is lying. Ancelotti really expects more quality in his players, that includes signing the best striker at the moment. He doesn't want to talk about players who are not in his squad, but again that doesn't mean Ancelotti isn't interested in him. It's just that he seems to want to be realistic about the future of himself and his team, I mean he's just being careful with his plan.

If you take his record breaking season as an example, I think hardly anybody was expecting Benzema to stay on that level. That was so unreal when he scored all those impossible goals and decided the games again and again. But in the last season he wasn't a critical factor anymore. They already had to find alternative ways to score their goals as it was too risky to believe that they could fall back on Benzema when he is needed. They can now focus on signing a superstar striker and that is what they are aiming for with Mbappe, but even if it is not him I doubt that they are ok with Joselu only. He is not the one they are really looking for.

Everything that Benzema has done is a beautiful memory to remember when he scored many goals and became decisive for Real Madrid in the previous season. Now his era with Real Madrid is over, we even saw a fairly harmonious farewell when he parted ways with Real Madrid. For next season, Real Madrid's front line will own other players, even Joselu is likely to prove the quality he has for next season.

Apart from that, Real Madrid also wants to bring in another sticker in this transfer window. Mbappe has become Real Madrid target this season because at his age he is still very young and skillfully he has everything to become the next Benzema next season. Real madrid may need a sizable amount of money to bring in mbappe from Psg.

I don't know that much about Joselu, but he is not exactly the player who is poisoned to fill the gap that Benzema will leave.

The fairly harmonious end was also due to Benzema not being at his peak anymore and Real Madrid noted that. It was ok for them as they would save his salary and Benzema let everyone know that it wasn't for the 200m or whatever he is making over there, but because he is Muslim... I would also feel plenty of harmony when someone were to write me 200m cheques for kicking a year or two in acclimatized stadiums.

A serious transfer to the forward is necessary. If they get a player for the forward and this player becomes a world class name - Mbappe for example - I think no one can prevent Real Madrid.

This is indeed true, but the rumors about Mbappe are also still unclear so that Real Madrid themselves must also look at other options in the remaining time they currently have. In order for Real Madrid to be able to get a better striker even though not at the level of Mbappe, because Real Madrid really have to be able to make better changes for next season so that they can compete better in La Liga and also the UCL like in previous seasons when they got champion.

Real Madrid will perform well even without mbappe because, as we all know, the majority of the team is still present. With this lineup, real Madrid is likely to have a successful season next year. This lineup includes Rodrigo, Camavinga, Valverde, Modric, Kroos, and Vini Jr. I think that if these players are still part of Real Madrid, their performance will be impressive. Although I am aware that a team's striker may have a significant impact, it is impossible to compare Joselu to Karim Benzema. However, if Vini Jr. and the other team can make a positive contribution to the team's assist game, Joselu will do his best.

It would be better if Real Madrid stopped worrying about signing Mbappe this season because PSG has already started to control him and no matter how hard Mbappe tries, he doesn't have the right to leave a team when there isn't any negotiation because PSG also bought him and will want to sell it for whatever price they please.

Kylian Mbappe is not part of Real Madrid next season so I don't think it will be important to talk about him as long as Real Madrid don't sign him. Real Madrid of course still have a good squad despite being left out by strikers like Benzema, Hazard and Asensio, but they haven't shown much quality from a replacement. Joselu is not a replacement for either one, but he can be an alternative for Ancelotti if other players have trouble finding the net or some things.

Next season Real Madrid will adapt to a new strategy without Benzema present, but I think their form will have an impact. Last season Real Madrid always struggled to win games without Benzema even though they still have Asensio and many other players, that means they will lose a lot of strength without Benzema.

It would be better if Real Madrid stopped worrying about signing Mbappe this season because PSG has already started to control him and no matter how hard Mbappe tries, he doesn't have the right to leave a team when there isn't any negotiation because PSG also bought him and will want to sell it for whatever price they please.

Why Real Madrid must stop their effort to sign Mbappe? You don't understand why they are always trying to sign him, they know if Mbappe is possible to leave PSG. If you follow the rumor, you must hear that Real Madrid and Mbappe even already reached the personal agreement, it is only about negotiating with PSG management.

PSG already controls him for many years, that's why PSG gives him special right for Mbappe in the club. However, there are something that PSG can't give to Mbappe, it is about UCL trophy and a better career in the future. These are actually the reason why Mbappe wants to leave PSG. Since his contract is almost over, it make sense if Real Madrid tries more to sign him.

[harapan]

Real Madrid could be an undefeated team if Kylian Mbappe joins the team. They have incredible offensive power. With names like Vini, Valverde and Rodrygo behind Mbappe, Real Madrid will be a team that is feared by every team. Next year, maybe they can complete the unfinished business with Manchester City. If they encounter this squad, they have a very high chance of eliminating them.

Real Madrid once had Ozil, Di Maria, C. Ronaldo, Benzema, Ramos, Pepe, Khedira, Xavi Alonso, Marcelo, Casillas an more all in one team and they were not undefeated so how do you think having Mbappe will make them an undefeatable team.
Football is not like that. There is no team you want to asemble today that will be better than that Madrid team. If a team has the most star players, it doesn't mean shit if there is no chemistry among them. If there is no understanding and rythem in the way the team plays then they'll look like a regular team e.g PSG. Even that Madrid team couldn't win the champions league and managed to win just one La Liga title. If Madrid with Mbappe meets Manchester and Manchester is a team with chemistry and understand each other then they'll still school Madrid.

Kylian Mbappe is not part of Real Madrid next season so I don't think it will be important to talk about him as long as Real Madrid don't sign him. Real Madrid of course still have a good squad despite being left out by strikers like Benzema, Hazard and Asensio, but they haven't shown much quality from a replacement. Joselu is not a replacement for either one, but he can be an alternative for Ancelotti if other players have trouble finding the net or some things.

People will always talk about Mbappe because people are very curious about the chance for Mbappe to join Real Madrid. We can't stop people to talk about this, it is an interesting and popular topic. 

I don't think Real Madrid has a good squad without a strong CF. Although they already signed Joselu, I'm not sure Joselu is enough to compete for La Liga and UCL titles. You must understand that Barcelona has a better CF, Lewandowski. Real Madris must have a striker who is as strong as Lewandowski if they want to win La Liga or UCL title.

A serious transfer to the forward is necessary. If they get a player for the forward and this player becomes a world class name - Mbappe for example - I think no one can prevent Real Madrid.

Yes, that's right, it's pointless to go on and on, Madrid had a fantastic past with their great players again. And if they want to be like before, they have to get a top class football player this season. Mbappe is their hope to improve their form this season, otherwise I think it will be even more difficult for them to compete especially in the Champions League later. Indeed they have bought some talented young players, but it is not enough.

[Docnaster]

La Liga first match will play on Augustus 13 but Real Madrid still not sign replacement for Karim Benzema position, after Benzema departure Madrid still difficult sign top center forward although rumor with Mbappe and Harry Kane but four weeks left before La Liga will play still can't sign them. Have one center forward as Joselu is not enough for Real Madrid actually have play in many competition next season and Ancelotti have find back up position for Joselu.

Actually, Joselu is not on higher level to be first choose because less experienced with top teams and he hasn't any special performance although last season success scored 15 goals with Espanyol.

Real Madrid without Benzema is like a spear that has lost its sharpness, but they are currently have Joselu and I think we have to give this guy a chance to prove his quality. Also Real Madrid first match in new season is against Bilbao, there is a possibility for Real Madrid will not lose points, because Real Madrid is not lost other main strikers I mean Vini and Rodrygo are still in the Real Madrid squad. But yeah, to play in the Europa big events, Real Madrid must have a new more experienced striker, Mbappe is a good option but at the moment him situation is not clear.

Real Madrid will perform well even without mbappe because, as we all know, the majority of the team is still present. With this lineup, real Madrid is likely to have a successful season next year. This lineup includes Rodrigo, Camavinga, Valverde, Modric, Kroos, and Vini Jr. I think that if these players are still part of Real Madrid, their performance will be impressive. Although I am aware that a team's striker may have a significant impact, it is impossible to compare Joselu to Karim Benzema. However, if Vini Jr. and the other team can make a positive contribution to the team's assist game, Joselu will do his best.

It would be better if Real Madrid stopped worrying about signing Mbappe this season because PSG has already started to control him and no matter how hard Mbappe tries, he doesn't have the right to leave a team when there isn't any negotiation because PSG also bought him and will want to sell it for whatever price they please.

Before the arrival of Erling Haaland at Manchester City, the club was very good but was lacking a world class striker who would always convert their goal chances and it was because of lack of a world class striker that they lost to Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League semi finals in 20221/22 season. It was after the arrival of Haaland that the team found the perfect shape it deserves.
Karim Benzema has been Real Madrid's goal poacher since the Cristiano Ronaldo left the club and if Madrid fails to get someone that'll replace him after his departure,   Madrid would definitely feel the effect despite the fact that they have a great squad already.

[Rockstarguy]

Barcelona still haven't signed a backup striker for Lewandowski. This isn't good for Barcelona when we think what can happen during the season. In case Lewandowski gets injured there will be a serious problem there. I see nobody who can be as effective as him in that position currently. Especially in critical matches it would be a disaster.

They should focus on bringing a player who can do a pretty decent job with finishing. They don't need to sign a player at Lewandowski's level. They can't even spend a lot of money in this transfer window you know. They would like to bring a decent striker at a favorable cost for themselves.

A backup player for Lewandowski is very important for Barcelona because their is no how Lewandowski can overcome injury throughout the season.  Last season when Lewandowski was in injury it affected the performance of the team, Barcelona should not just go the same  way like they did in last season. For Barcelona to do well in laliga and champions league they need to sign in more players that can play important role wherever key  players are having injury.

Kylian Mbappe is not part of Real Madrid next season so I don't think it will be important to talk about him as long as Real Madrid don't sign him. Real Madrid of course still have a good squad despite being left out by strikers like Benzema, Hazard and Asensio, but they haven't shown much quality from a replacement. Joselu is not a replacement for either one, but he can be an alternative for Ancelotti if other players have trouble finding the net or some things.

Next season Real Madrid will adapt to a new strategy without Benzema present, but I think their form will have an impact. Last season Real Madrid always struggled to win games without Benzema even though they still have Asensio and many other players, that means they will lose a lot of strength without Benzema.

For now, Mbappe cannot be connected with Real Madrid because there has not been an official offer from Real Madrid for him. So the Mbappe transfer case is still unclear whether he will leave PSG or still want to stay with PSG for next season. What we have to see in the depths of Real Madrid squad is the strength that exists from their official players such as Bahim Diaz who found excellent performance before with Ac mikan.

In this transfer market, Real Madrid is focusing on improving their front line to remain aggressive next season. So the signing of players will continue to be carried out by Real Madrid in this transfer window. The player who recently arrived is Arda Guler and he could be a great signing for Real Madrid.

[arimamib]

His relationship at Atletico Madrid did not seem to be going smoothly and in fact he hoped that Chelsea would make his status at Chelsea as a permanent player but unfortunately Chelsea did not do that, Barcelona is of course the most ideal club for any player but the problem is whether Barcelona wants him, with his performance of course Barcelona will think again even though he is at Nou Camp only as a loan player but paying the salaries of players who appear inconsistent is certainly a loss for Barca who are currently still in financial problems so they will be very careful in selecting players so that they still get achievements by also trying to make the club's expenses not swell.
He can play at another club if Atletico Madrid doesn't set a high price for him, PSG and Aston Villa are reportedly interested in him and at his young age if he can get more playing portions there will be great opportunities for his career to shine even more if he can get the right club, he only wants to play at a club that competes in the champions league and he should lower his expectations for now until he can show his good performance.

I think Jao Felix made a controversial statement regarding his interest in playing for Barcelona. Because he is an official Atletico Madrid player he even has a contract until the 2027 season, so that statement will make it even more difficult for him to get a main place at Atletico Madrid next season after his loan period ends with Chelsea.

Now, in such conditions, I'm sure the fans are also quite disappointed to hear that the player wants to play in Barcelona. Jao Felix should be able to take advantage of the situation that happened to him where he should be able to return to the team in a harmonious situation and become the main choice for Simeone next season. But that might be hard to happen after the statement that was issued by Jao felix lately. On the Barcelona side, there is an issue where they are also interested in getting Jao ​​Felix from Atletico Madrid in this transfer window. But will he be able to compete with existing players to make up for Barcelona main squad. On the other hand, the price must be expensive because Atletico Madrid does not want to lose big on his transfer.

[LUCKMCFLY]

It's just another fake news. Madrid has no money to buy mbappe's release clause. It's all BS news that being made by stupid media to trigger the hype.
Mbappe will not be joining in real madrid soon. I don't believe it to happen.
Mbappe's price tag doesn't even make sense. There will be no club wanna sign him as a new player. It's very expensive to pay hundreds millions of money only for him.

It is not fake news, if Mbappe refuses to extend his psg contract, the club will sell him and it is most likely to Real madrid, they have the money to sign Mbappe and they even tried to sign him two years ago but he rejected and signed a new contract with psg. I agree that if psg want to sell Mbappe this summer, they would not sell him for more than £150m, because he has just one year remaining on his contract, so it is either the club reduces the price tag or they will lose him for free after just a year. Mbappe will be joining Real madrid soon, either this summer or the next one.

Real Madrid eyes are still in Mbappe till this summer, because they know the type of player he is in the football career that is making them to use their influence and money to get it right in this summer for PSG to release him for them for sale, so that they will have hope of winning la Liga league title next season. I think, PSG management will reduce the price so that they will still achieve something huge from him before his contract expire because many teams are waiting for his contract to expire before they will show up interest. The reason PSG will release Mbappe to Real Madrid or any team that is willing to pay above their demand, is that he is not willing to remain in PSG after his contract than to change another team of his choice.

Well, I've seen a lot of news and there's almost the same thing you're saying, but I'm saying something, as far as I've known Real Madrid since I was little, they've never hired players who say no to Madrid once, it's something that doesn't happen often. and that is something that is very clear, now, I would feel very disappointed if Madrid chose an Mbappé because he would be breaking his own principles and that is something that should not happen, at least it will not do me much thanks for that, because it would stop being the MADRID that I know and that has Built a great reputation , that is something that must be Recognized.

Kylian Mbappe is not part of Real Madrid next season so I don't think it will be important to talk about him as long as Real Madrid don't sign him. Real Madrid of course still have a good squad despite being left out by strikers like Benzema, Hazard and Asensio, but they haven't shown much quality from a replacement.

So the signing of players will continue to be carried out by Real Madrid in this transfer window. The player who recently arrived is Arda Guler and he could be a great signing for Real Madrid.

I have said it many times and they don't seem to get it , Real Madrid will never sign for a player who has said no, Mbappé had his great opportunity to play and he said no at that time, he preferred money over the opportunity to be bigger and why not, to have more money and more trophies, because Madrid is a team that opens the doors to all these things for any Player , however there are many who remain hopeful that next season they are interested in winning it, and no, he won't, he'll be older and Madrid doesn't like players like that , they look for young players to be able to train them and who are in their style.

It's a real pity that he didn't want to accept, for that moment I think Madrid would have been more forceful in the League and last UCL , but that's how he himself wanted it, so Real Madrid fans shouldn't get excited about him , there are younger players who don't say no to Madrid, it's easy for Mbappé to stay at his PSG where he can even hang out on certain Occasions , and I'm sure the boss that Pleases him about it.

PSG really needs that player , Messi left , it's not good for a player like Mbappé to abandon them, unless he stays one more season so that PSG doesn't go to the floor and gives them the Opportunity to Continue Looking for good players to see if they can Win the UCL.

Kylian Mbappe offered €1 billion deal to reject Real Madrid move

As reported by Defensa Central (via GOAL), PSG have made an unbelievable offer to Mbappe. It is a 10-year contract on the table worth €1 billion.

If Mbappe is to agree such a contract, it would run until he is 34 years of age. That would be the majority of his career and a future move to Real Madrid would become pretty much impossible under those circumstances.

It remains to be seen how things play out in the Mbappe transfer saga from here on forward. There have been plenty of twists and turns over the years, and people should expect a few more.

Source: https://therealchamps.com/2023/07/20/kylian-mbappe-1-billion-deal-real-madrid/

We all know that this is simply a diplomatic way of making an excuse for him not going to Madrid, but it was because Madrid didn't want to offer anything for him, well, somehow Mbappé has to raise that self-esteem.

[Velvet78]

Real Madrid are really much weaker without a striker like Benzema now. That's why I'm seeing it certain that Real Madrid will bring a decent centre-forward this summer. But I don't understand why they aren't interested in Vlahovic while PSG are about to finish the signing soon. I believe he is one of the best alternatives for Real Madrid for this season.

I don't know maybe they don't want to rush this transfer in case something happens about Mbappe's situation. In the end we can still see another team trying to sign Mbappe by making a huge offer. In that case Real Madrid would like to save their funds for Mbappe transfer as they will need to spend insane amount of money.

Benzema was the main striker of Real Madrid. So losing Benzema will definitely weaken Madrid's attack. However, Ancelotti chose Joselu as a replacement for Benzema. Joselu is nothing to ignore. He is a very talented player. He managed to score a lot of goals even against a team as weak as Espanyol. So I would say if Joselu can adapt himself well to the Madrid squad he should be able to score a lot of goals.

Madrid management does not want to rush to get Mbappe into the team. They definitely need a talented striker. But it is also important to consider whether Mbappe is suited to Ancelotti's strategy. I wouldn't be too surprised if Ancelotti doesn't include Mbappe in his match plan. Because Mbappe plays a bit selfishly. He does not want to cooperate with his teammates.

Joselu is good for only the La Liga not for the Champions League. I don't think he is quality enough to take a big responsibility in Champions League games to bring success to the team. Real Madrid's aim is to win the Champions League title every year. They need to build a squad according to that as a result.

There is a huge gap between Joselu and Benzema at this point. I think Real Madrid should definitely make a much more reliable striker transfer for the Champions League before the season starts. Otherwise Vinicius Junior will have even a bigger responsibility in Champions League games.

[Leviathan.007]

It's caused by many people were always linking madrid to the mbappe. This rumor has been coming since a few years ago but it's likely mbappe may be possible to join in real madrid next season once it has no contract with PSG anymore.

Mbappe is not so aggresive in showing his interest to join in real madrid. Im thinking about this is a part from mbappe's plan. The fact that if mbappe is also wanna get money from PSG. He knows that if PSG will not let him go for free. That's why mbappe is trying so hard to defend its place in PSG for another year. Mbappe will get good money and he will be also able to picking the new club as per his wish.

That's the real motivation why mbappe is not even rushing to leave from PSG and come to the madrid. Madrid is not also buying him for 1/4 billion price for him. Madrid is now trying to efficiently used its budget. Mbappe's situation is not so bad caused by may knew which has become the advantage or disadvantage of him.

He's pretty much the same as lukaku.

Makes no sense to spend that much money on a single player, no matter how good that player is. If you could distribute that money into other positions as well, you could have a worse striker but you could have overall a better team, and that's what matters. PSG already worths a lot of money, instead of spending nearly half a billion dollars on Mbappe for a full contract, just get some more players that would be great. That's how you grow, and they are going to do it.

Real Madrid now is on the clock, everyone expects them to get Mbappe, and if they spend insane amount of money for him as well, that will be criticized as well. You can't spend like 60 million a year on a player as a salary and also 100+ million as signing bonus, that's way too much.

Instead of spending this huge amount of money on a player like Mbappe which is not a wise move, they can invest this money in younger players and try hiring talents and grow these players because we can't be sure if Mbappe can show good performance in Real Madrid after all drame he had in PSG.

[asriloni]

a very complex situation and I must say that my esteem for the player has grown
he is a strategist or he has chosen the manager who recommends him well, because this way of thinking will give him exclusive advantages only for him
strategist!

PSG has given two choices, and if Mbappe agrees to one of them, it can be completed easily. Mbappe makes everything become very complicated. It's still very hard to know his main motive by doing it.

The solution is Real Madrid must move on from chasing Mbappe and continue to focus on building the team they already have. Because after all the price to pay and waiting for next season is clearly not worth it. At the moment, neither PSG nor Mbappe want to give up, as a result, this situation seems to have provoked Real Madrid to agree to the price that PSG has given.

If real madrid has no money to buy him and how can real madrid is getting him? PSG asked very high price for him.

Playing a role to get more money from PSG, it's no wonder even though behind Mbappe strategy I see his mother already knows how to play in the transfer market. There's nothing wrong if in the end Mbappe just wants PSG to make more money for him.

Mbappe's mother is still actively negotiated with PSG now. I wonder when this problem gonna clear. It would be better if mbappe was signing a new contract or leave from the club. Mbappe looked like an incompetent player. He's terrible to watch.

[Hvdv]

@LUCKMCFLY If the mentioned figures are correct, an annual figure of 100 million € will be offered to Mbappe. Of course, there is the possibility of accepting this figure, but I don't think Mbappe will accept an incredibly long contract like 10 years. If Real Madrid has a dream, it will also reject this offer. Paris does everything to keep him.

[AndySt]

Instead of spending this huge amount of money on a player like Mbappe which is not a wise move, they can invest this money in younger players and try hiring talents and grow these players because we can't be sure if Mbappe can show good performance in Real Madrid after all drame he had in PSG.

I think that investing a lot of money in an already established player is much more profitable in terms of results than investing the same money in a young talent who has not proven his worth in any way for at least several years. You can talk as much as you like about the fact that it is better to spend money on future young stars, but the harsh reality says that usually rich clubs win titles that buy ready-made stars, and not those who bring up these stars.

[legendbtc]

Real Madrid are really much weaker without a striker like Benzema now. That's why I'm seeing it certain that Real Madrid will bring a decent centre-forward this summer. But I don't understand why they aren't interested in Vlahovic while PSG are about to finish the signing soon. I believe he is one of the best alternatives for Real Madrid for this season.

In that case Real Madrid would like to save their funds for Mbappe transfer as they will need to spend insane amount of money.

Benzema was the main striker of Real Madrid. So losing Benzema will definitely weaken Madrid's attack. However, Ancelotti chose Joselu as a replacement for Benzema. Joselu is nothing to ignore. He is a very talented player. He managed to score a lot of goals even against a team as weak as Espanyol. So I would say if Joselu can adapt himself well to the Madrid squad he should be able to score a lot of goals.

Madrid management does not want to rush to get Mbappe into the team. They definitely need a talented striker. But it is also important to consider whether Mbappe is suited to Ancelotti's strategy. I wouldn't be too surprised if Ancelotti doesn't include Mbappe in his match plan. Because Mbappe plays a bit selfishly. He does not want to cooperate with his teammates.

Joselu is good for only the La Liga not for the Champions League. I don't think he is quality enough to take a big responsibility in Champions League games to bring success to the team. Real Madrid's aim is to win the Champions League title every year. They need to build a squad according to that as a result.

There is a huge gap between Joselu and Benzema at this point. I think Real Madrid should definitely make a much more reliable striker transfer for the Champions League before the season starts. Otherwise Vinicius Junior will have even a bigger responsibility in Champions League games.

Yes, Joselu can't take the big responsibility in Champions League games. He can't replace Benzema. Ancelotti just put Joselu on temporary substitute status. As for Vlahovic, he is not on Real Madrid's radar. Harry Kane would be a good choice to replace Benzema, but Real Madrid may have put all their efforts into preparing for a super blockbuster transfer to bring Mbappe to the Santiago Bernabeu. This is a perfect alternative that couldn't be better. Mbappe can bring the royal team Real Madrid back to the era of European dominance, just like Cristiano Ronaldo did.

Harry Kane would be a good choice to replace Benzema, but Real Madrid may have put all their efforts into preparing for a super blockbuster transfer to bring Mbappe to the Santiago Bernabeu. This is a perfect alternative that couldn't be better. Mbappe can bring the royal team Real Madrid back to the era of European dominance, just like Cristiano Ronaldo did.

Kane is being chased by Munich and United. He still doesn't want to extend his contract with Tottenham. although the coach still really wants him to stay in the team. which is why it will be difficult to get Kane in the transfer market this summer for Madrid.
Similar reasons may be faced when Madrid wants to sign Mbappe. their club actually doesn't want to let go of players and that's what makes the price the club wants very expensive. but if PSG and Tottenham do not release players in the transfer market this summer, of course, there will be losses for the club. they have to come to an agreement before their contract is finished. It is clear Madrid needs one of them to make this season easy for them. I'm sure the competition with Barcelona will not be easy for Madrid this season.
