La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[poodle63]

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.

Buying mbappe with the current price is stupid decision. that's why real madrid is not trying to buy him rather than waiting him to leave from PSG with free transfer next year. Perez is smart enough by not rushing to get mbappe from PSG.

i think that's giving a huge pressure for the PSG to sell him as soon as possible, time is money for PSG. Selling mbappe is a mandatory for the club in summer. No reason for PSG to keep mbappe far longer. Offering him a new contract is a stupid thing.

This is most likely not good news for the bluagrana this season. Most of their experienced players have left the club this summer to reunite with their former teammate Leo Messi at Inter Miami. Sergio Buesquets and Jordi Alba have left Camp Nou, while these moves would not have been possible if Leo Messi had joined Barcelona this summer, but with the club's recent financial difficulties, a lot of things will not happen. The president, Juan Laporta, was eager on bringing in the indisputable GOAT, and I imagine he and the club were in a hard spot.

Apart from financial reasons that move isn't bad what Barcelona expects in players 34 and 45 years old they will not be able to compete with young players especially for European competition letting them go was the right move obviously will reduce the burden on the club. This season should be the right time for Barca to gather a new generation of young players unfortunately financial problems hindered them , we don't know when this situation will end.

Financial problems still persist. They sent Lionel Messi out of the team in his most productive period due to lack of money. They wanted to buy him again this year, but I think they were struggling again economically. In return, we now see that Saudi Arabian teams are literally throwing money.

In this case, it is clear that Messi's position will not benefit so much if he returns to Barcelona because he will not receive a commensurate salary and if there is any other option then the Barcelona owner will cut the salaries of other players to give to Messi. Surely Messi doesn't want that to happen and as a very great player he shouldn't take rights from other players if the Barcelona owner does that.

But his decision to join Inter Miami is certainly a very positive thing for his life, moreover the arrival of Bosquest and Alba will make him feel more at home there and he also doesn't want to be bothered when he gets bad criticism when he returns to Barcelona. Messi is very satisfied with what he has got so far and it's time for him to prioritize a comfortable life with his family.

I know Kylian Mbappe will definitely leave PSG after his contract which the PSG management is aware of it, that is why they are demanding huge amount of money from Kylian Mbappe which will reach for a team to sign two potential players at once, which Real Madrid management will not fall victim to such in this summer. If Real Madrid cannot get kylian Mbappe in this summer, I believe they will get him after his contract because Kylian Mbappe is willing to join Real Madrid so that he can achieve some of the things he have never achieve before in his football career. Based on what is happening now, i believe PSG management will not miss their opportunity than to release him to Real Madrid for that amount soon.

[X-ray]

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.

Man, madrid was in almost 1 billion debt that being used to renovating its stadium. The club is now having a lot of cash right now. Does madrid needs to decrease its equity to buy mbappe? Does madrid need to take another loan for mbappe?

Madrid has spent a lot of money to buy bellingham. The financial report has been telling the truth. Mbappe was not PSG. PSG owned by billionaire while real madrid owned by its fans.
Madrid has limitation in spending the money to buy a great player. Madrid will not be so crazy like chelsea to spend more than a half of billion dollar instantly. Think about that. That's why im saying it's fake news. I just see that based on the reality.

Perez aware if the club is will be facing financial trouble if it keeps try to sign mbappe from psg. PSG was also asking crazy price for mbappe which is not even worthy for him. I do support madrid to sign him next season for free agent but not for this season.

now the dilemma is at PSG when they don't let go of Mbappe now, so they may not get anything when Mbappe's status is a free transfer next year. however, Mbappe needs tougher competition with stronger competition such as in La Liga or the Premier League.
PSG might consider Madrid's offer if they are really serious about the agreed figures. I'm sure PSG will soften up a bit for the price.

[Litzki1990]

The issue we are thinking about now may have been thought about by the team management a long time ago. With Karim Benzema leaving Real Madrid, Real Madrid now need a suitable replacement for Karim Benzema. Mbappé is trying to get Mbappe to replace Karim Benzema with a striker who performs better than Karim Benzema and has better finishing skills than Karim Benzema. There is no doubt that Mbappe is the best striker at the moment. A top team is trying to get a top striker but PSG stands in the way. The sooner the contract with PSG expires, the sooner Mbappe will be seen at Real Madrid. If Mbappe comes to Real Madrid, Real Madrid will not have any competition in the Champions League or La Liga, Real Madrid will reign alone.

This seems ridiculous to me. If Mbappe joins Real Madrid, Real Madrid will dominate the Champions League and La Liga alike??? I don't see that possibility. Is Manchester City's squad less strong than Real Madrid's? Benzema was more experienced than Mbappe. Even Ronaldo was more talented than Mbappe. Did Madrid win the Champions League and La Liga every season when Benzema and Ronaldo were together in Madrid?? Mbappe joining Real Madrid will definitely strengthen Madrid's attack. Even then, it cannot be said for sure that Madrid will win the La Liga and Champions League titles.

Karim Benzema is undoubtedly a more experienced player than Mbappé but considering the current performance, Mbappé will be far ahead of Karim Benzema. When Cristiano Ronaldo was at Real Madrid, Karim Benzema didn't have that much of a role for the team. After Ronaldo left the club, when the responsibility of the team's main striker fell on Karim Benzema, Karim Benzema's performance came to everyone's attention. But if you look at Real Madrid's midfield and forwards right now, it's clear how strong Real Madrid are at the moment. The team is already strong and if Mbappe joins the team it will become even stronger. And one of the favorites for the Champions League will be Real Madrid.

Real Madrid want to have Mbappe and they can not delay the transfer too much as they are fearful that other rich clubs will take Mbappe from PSG. PSG want to sell the player and if the buyer is not Real Madrid, will they have problem to sell the player to another big club with good transfer price?

Absolutely no issue for PSG and it's what Real Madrid are fearful about. They have to deal smartly to save cost for themselves but have to do it carefully and keep their eyes on PSG and other clubs because I am sure they will not want to lose Mbappe.

Two seasons ago, Mbappe was worse than Benzema and in the last season, it's fair enough to say they have similar performance but Benzema went to Champions League semi finals. How about Mbappe in Champions League last season? He had to say goodbye too early after losing against Bayern Munich.

In a new season, Mbappe will no longer have to keep his eyes on Benzema or Messi who both left Europe to join MLS and Saudi Professional League. Mbappe will have a biggest competitor invidually is Erling Haaland. They will compete with each other for biggest clubs and they will have to beat each other in personal award competitions like Ballon d'Or.

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.

Yeah Joselu must have been brought as an alternative. He can find more chances in the La Liga especially against much smaller teams. But Real Madrid should focus on making their main striker transfer immediately. There are only three weeks to go for the new season. The earlier they finish this signing the better for them.

When it comes to who can be brought it is really hard to predict for now. Because while Bayern Munich are trying to finish Kane deal Real Madrid still don't want to intervene. Vlahovic is also not a target for them as it seems while PSG are making an effort to complete the signing.

If can't bring new striker, is there an alternative for Real Madrid to replace Rodrygo as center forward, depending on Joselu's performance will has impressive performance in the first season with Real Madrid after Benzema departure or not. Still one month left for window transfer closing and Real Madrid has enough time for signing new center forward, I think Ancelotti still monitoring which one center forward potential for signing with cheapest fees transfer.

Have two players rumor will be Real Madrid target, Harry Kane and Mbappe but Madrid waiting with their teams release free transfer and worth for signing or not because both player will expiry their contract next season.

Real Madrid, they still leisurely earn strikers. They need to be careful in choosing strikers because, understandably, they want to bring in someone who can inherit superstar Karim Benzema. In fact, there are many players who cannot take on this role instead of the French striker because "Number 9" is now a shadow too big for other strikers to pass. They want to find a long-term plan for this position. They are very interested in young talents. Let's wait and see what Real Madrid will do next.

A young talent like Mbappe is really needed by Real Madrid to balance their entire line, the position of the defender is very good, in the middle area there are also several quality players. Mbappe is the person Real Madrid wants most to fill the position left by Benzema, I assume Mbappe arrival to Real Madrid will be the center of attention because of the quality he has.
The public has high hopes for Mbappe to bring Real Madrid back to winning the Champions League, there will be players who are not happy behind Mbappe arrival, Vinicius will return to being number two behind Mbappe shadow, before he also experienced the same thing when Benzema was still defending Real Madrid.

sorry I don't agree
all teams need this strong player
not just Real Madrid
if you want, I'll give you a short list of 20 teams that need his talent
haha I assure you I'm not kidding

I think what all madrid fans hope is that the number 9 jersey is more suitable for a young player like Mbappe but unfortunately Mbappe is still staying at PSG until the end of his contract, even though it sounds like he is not extending his contract with PSG it will wind up soon it looks like Madrid can take him , almost all the media reported about this.


To be honest, if Mbappe joins Madrid, then Madrid will be a scary club. Also, being able to compete in the UCL against Manchester City as the defending champion, as we have seen so far, Madrid has brought in several young players who have just joined Madrid, so I will be happy. see how the current main squad can compete in the domestic league including in other championships such as the UCL. still waiting for who will replace Benzema for this season.

[shogun47]

I agree with you Karim Benzema was one of Real Madrid's best strikers. The Belgian has been one of the main contributors behind Real Madrid's great achievements. So it remains to be seen what kind of performance Real Madrid will perform without Benzema in the next season.

Karim Benzema the Belgian? Interesting, tell me more about him, I have never heard of Benzema the Belgian!

Joselu is a standart striker who will have a decent number of goals at the end of the season if he plays most of the games, but Real Madrid needs a striker who can win them games that they otherwise wouldn't have won. Often times that makes the difference although I don't want to neglect the team effort here. Inter Milan was a good example for a team effort success in the last Champions League season, but it is not forgotten what Benzema did for Madrid the season 21/22. Without him they wouldn't have won it.

I think @MuffinMaster does not know Benzema's nationality, he's a French footballer incase you mistook him for a Belgian and I get your point because he's regarded as one of the best strikers of his time having scored over 300 league goals in his career for Realmadrid a figure that was only surpassed by Cristiano Ronaldo, he had a great time at Madrid with a good scoring ability which also helped them to win most troophies, also his good record in the 2022 championship league season made it possible for him benzema to emerged as the Ballon d'Or winner.

 That's a record I don't see joselu achieving in Realmadrid because of his age, i consider him an average player and shouldn't be compared to a world class striker like Benzema, well with time we'll be able to know if he'll clear my doubts and have close to 30 goals a season like benzema does, left for me I'll prefer players like Harry Kane or Benzema's country man Mbappe that's proved themselves worthy and is sure of getting the goals and delivering up to 30 goals or more in a season which is what Realmadrid needs.

He obviously doesn't know Benzema's nationality, but when someone posts in the La Liga section and confuses Benzema with a potential player from the Belgian national team, how much sense does it make sense to post in the soccer section at all?

I really hope that Messi helps the Netherlands to win the Euro 2024. Just saying...

No, Joselu is miles away from Benzema although I wasn't the biggest Benzema fan most of the time. It was actually that one season which was above his standard abilities I would say. Everything worked in his favor, literally everything and he was there and made use of those opportunities. But he isn't the player who dominates world soccer for five years in a row. He had this moment in his career and I think that is about it.

This seems ridiculous to me. If Mbappe joins Real Madrid, Real Madrid will dominate the Champions League and La Liga alike??? I don't see that possibility. Is Manchester City's squad less strong than Real Madrid's? Benzema was more experienced than Mbappe. Even Ronaldo was more talented than Mbappe. Did Madrid win the Champions League and La Liga every season when Benzema and Ronaldo were together in Madrid?? Mbappe joining Real Madrid will definitely strengthen Madrid's attack. Even then, it cannot be said for sure that Madrid will win the La Liga and Champions League titles.

Real Madrid already have a strong squad. And considering the current performance it also shows that Mbappe is a better player than Benzema. I know it. I am not denying that Real Madrid will be stronger if Mbappe is on the team. Mbappe joining Madrid will strengthen Madrid's front line. But I can't believe that Real Madrid will dominate the same Champions League and La Liga if Mbappe is in the team. Dominating the Champions League alone is very difficult. Also, I think Manchester City's squad is still much more stable and strong than Real Madrid's. Real Madrid can dominate the La Liga but it is not so easy to dominate the Champions League.

[ILuckyGuyI]

I have seen some dispute between Lemar and Felix in training lately. Felix already doesn't feel very comfortable about going back to Atletico Madrid. He wants to leave at the earliest opportunity. However Atletico Madrid are still overpricing Felix according to some news sources. This one says that they want €80m for his transfer fee now.

However I don't think that there is any team keen on adding him to their squad by paying this much. He specifically wants Barcelona but I don't think they would pay that much even if they don't have any problems with big transfers now. Atletico Madrid signed him for €127m once but now this transfer turned out to be a disappointment.

[JeffBrad12]

Financial problems still persist. They sent Lionel Messi out of the team in his most productive period due to lack of money. They wanted to buy him again this year, but I think they were struggling again economically. In return, we now see that Saudi Arabian teams are literally throwing money.

Barcleona is also facing the same trouble when the club wanna sign bernardo silva from manchester city. Barcelona was preparing swap transfer which will be involving de jong as an agreement to swap him with bernardo silva. The financial problem has become the main problem that was limiting barcelona to do various things in the market. Barcelona was not even raising 200 millions to balancing its financial. Barcelona is not profitable anymore. The club has sold so many shares. Barcelona is not having a way to raise money other than selling its players. Now, the problem is that many players who have been listed for sale have already refused to be sold to another club..
