La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[ILuckyGuyI]

Barcelona are reported to be going for Joao Cancelo transfer after Dembele joins PSG officially. But I wonder whether they will only sign Cancelo in this case. Because Cancelo's asking price will most probably around Dembele's transfer fee. After that I don't know how much more they can spend to make another signing.

Because I guess that Xavi wouldn't just make do with Dembele's departure. They should be signing another decent winger into his place. Maybe not a permanent option but loan option could be preferred. They can bring a winger without spending too much money but let's see how much Xavi is keen on about this.

Basically Joselu is just a replacement option, Ancelotti's decision to play Joselu as a main player during pre-season cannot be separate from feasibility test considering he had just been brought in. Vinícius Junior's real partner up front is Rodrygo, coach Carlo Ancelotti is prepare the both for a new challenge for Real Madrid in the coming season without Karim Benzema.
For the reserve player level, Joselu isn't too bad in my opinion

When La Liga starts, maybe we will see the real performance of Real Madrid, at this time I agree that Ancelotti in friendly matches only tests the feasibility of players and try various experiments. As usual, coaches often do it to try different strategies. Actually you are right, Real Madrid signed Joselu only as a replacement option but if Ancelotti used a 4-3-3 formation maybe Joselu could have played as a centre-forward.

Yes, it is possible, but something that we are question this time is his performance that some people think is not optimal. And regarding options, it's not a big problem if Ancelotti apply a 4-3-3 formation in the future. Because in some matches coach Ancelotti has seen use Rodrygo as a center forward when playing with a 4-3-3 while the wing positions are occupied by Vinícius and Federico Valverde (he is trusted as a wing in certain situations)

With the presence of dangerous frontlines, Vinicius Júnior, Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz, they're 100% ready for the new season. Real Madrid is an elite club that functions mostly on the basis of its ratings and spectacular performance. The players have prior expertise and are capable of managing challenging circumstances under pressure. The 4-3-3 formation will undoubtedly assist players improve their game; after all, the club pattern is versatile, permitting them to play in any position. Carlo Ancelotti may utilize whatever formation he wants as long as it results in solid winning results.

Actually, the 4-3-3 formation option is good enough to strengthen Real madrid because every player is also familiar with Ancelotti favorite formation and this reliable coach chosen formation will give Vinicius more freedom to always get opportunities to score when there are few opportunities. .
I really admire Ancelotti current strategy and it seems that the main players currently being used are quite convincing because Vinicius is one of the players with good quality and is strengthened by the presence of Rodrygo.
I think the coming season will be an opportunity for Real Madrid to make up for last season failures.

Theoretically Barcelona should be better than last season, now they have added to their ammo by bringing in newcomers.

No, it shouldn't be theoretically but objectively.
Why is that, of course you can look at the list of players they have next season and find their statistics and performance. We know that not all Barcelona players have good performance, but they have a great main squad and are also ready to compete with other La Liga teams next season.

Xavi may soon lose one of his best wingers if PSG manage to reach an agreement with Dembele. But Barcelona still has Raphinha who was also one of Xavi's mainstay wingers last season, but next season I think Ansu Fati or Ferran Torres will get more minutes to play. Dembele has talk his desire to leave for Xavi, but I don't think Xavi will mind too much of that even though Dembele is still expected to stay. Barcelona is basically ready to compete next season even though this team has financial constraints.

I agree, after this player is gone, they need to fill his void. As far as I know, they will have a budget of 50 million after this sale. I know that they did not say how much of this budget they will use with the transfer they will make. But we are sure that Barcelona must make a transfer. Otherwise they will have a hard time next year

I really don’t understand how Barcelona can actually go for Cancello. I had heard the news before. But the only thing I was thinking when I heard about this was, what might Barcelona be selling this time to get him! I remember Barcelona selling TV rights only a few months ago to get new players. I think if Barcelona can sell a player for good money, they should be saving a little. But at the same time, there comes a question of them being able to successfully defend the title as well. They are the La Liga champions after all. So they cannot adjust behave cheaply and not spend anything. But they should spend if they can afford to spend.

I think this could be a good option actually.
Cancelo is a player who has enough potential, it's just that at Manchester City and Bayern he doesn't seem to be used too much even though his performance when given the opportunity is quite good.
On the other hand this could be a very good option especially when Alba leaves then Cancelo could be a decent cover for Balde and could even compete for the main place in the squad.
Cancelo's advantage over Balde is speed as Cancelo can be a good runner on the flanks so I don't think it's for nothing that Xavi wanted to bring Cancelo to Camp Nou.

[arimamib]

Currently the best teams in La Liga are Barcelona and Real Madrid. But comparatively Barcelona team is ahead in great form. On the other hand, Benzema's place in the Real Madrid team is looking great.

Barcelona only got back to good last season because Real Madrid wasn't so consistent in winning matches, whereas previous seasons Barcelona didn't look as good as last season. So in general Barcelona are just trying to look good and that was what Barcelona managed to get last season, but for next season Barcelona still has to fight hard to be able to look even better because Real Madrid will also try to be better in La Liga and so also at UCL.

Im sure barcelona made some significant improvements. Madrid was losing in the previous match against barcelona. This result is far better compared with last season. Barcelona needs to reach UCL level. some great players already bought by the club but i think that the thing that's gonna make it differ compared with last season shall be on the winger. barcelona had dembele last season which has been contributing a lot but it's gonna be different next season as barcelona has no dembele. Playing without dembele gonna make a lot of impact on the winger of barcelona.

Let's see who's gonna be a replacement for dembele. As far as i know that if barcelona is still having raphinha but i can't expect him to play as good as dembele last season.

Will barcelona have different performance to play without dembele? I wonder how xavi gonna try to solve that problem.

Barcelona has proven that their strength is still strong enough when they face Real Madrid, even the presence of new players certainly makes Barcelona stronger for next season. There are many rumors circulating on social media where it is predicted that Xavi will be able to become a coach who will follow in the footsteps of Pep Guardiola success in building Barcelona triumph in his coaching era. Xavi can prove that praise if he succeeds in bringing Barcelona to win the UCL trophy.

So, if you see the gap left by Dembele, of course it will be a new job for Xavi to find new players to fill that gap. Bernardo Silva and several other players were targeted by Xavi to strengthen the gap left by Dembele. I think barcelona will again sign a star player for that position.

[lalabotax]

Benzema departure is hugh loss for Real Madrid, however they got some backup players that would try their best to suit in. Real Madrid maintains Kylian Mbappe as their ultimate transfer target,

Indeed.
Benzema is Real Madrid's last strength, I mean, after Benzema left Real Madrid, this club really hasn't found a player at least of his class who can strengthen the team and perform brilliantly in various matches. Because Real Madrid's target is not only in La Liga but also the Champions League (UCL) ). Mbappe is his hope now to restore Real Madrid to glory.

@borovichox Real Madrid this season has to do more then just survive because last season they didn’t win the La Liga or the champions league hence their fan’s won’t be happy if they don’t win either of the two this season.

Indeed, it's not Real Madrid's type to stick around, but they definitely want more, more than last season so they can win the title. And the UCL is the ultimate goal.

But come to think of it cancelo is a good player and have a lot to offer to the Barcelona team and it's not a bad idea to replace an outgoing player with a player that players in another roles, Barcelona have several players that could replace the role of Dembelé, i mean they have been doing that while he's been on his injury spell, Cancelo is a full back and can be deployed from both areas of the wingback and they won't sell anything to bring him into the club all they have to do is get him with the funds gotten from the sell of Dembelé, I don't know if 50mllion would be enough to get him but if it is, it would be a very good decision and beneficial to their club, they added Gündongan and his arrival have benefitted the so far in the pre-season with a good performance from him against his former team Manchester City and I think the introduction of Cancelo if they succeed in getting him would strengthen the backline and would link up with his former teammate and easily adapt I'm the starting 11 due to his experience skill and performance in that role in previous times.

Dembele moving out of Barca is more sure than Mbappe moving to the La Liga side, Real Madrid.
The fact that Barca will now have about €50million to be able to afford Cancelo without much stress or expenses is one good thing for them, after all, Dembele warmed the bench more due to long injury spell or not just up for starters because he claimed at a time, how racism was his issue for agreeing to the deal with PSG.
Am happy for him though, as he will fell more at home and be safe.

Barca has good tactics and would do well with Cancello signing.

[Zaguru12]

I genuinely have no idea if there are some behind-the-scenes discussions going on about the main striker of Real Madrid or not. Because Real Madrid seriously need a genuine striker. I still have no idea if the Mbappé situation has actually progressed for Real Madrid. They are not even going after Harry Kane. I genuinely thought that they might go for Victor Osimhen. But that did not happen as well.

Joselu is not going to be enough. I don’t know what they are thinking. Of course, if they are just aiming for the La Liga title, they probably do not need a new and improved striker. But if they are aiming for the Champions League title, they really should get a very good striker.

The fact that Real Madrid have dropped interest in Harry Kane and also most of the prolific strikers in the market shows that they definitely have something cooking behind. Madrid do not just sit back after ending a season almost trophy less without any Marquee signings. Although they sign Joselu for a one year with the hope that the incoming Endrick will replace him, I also believe that there’s is a back door deal done with Mbappe considering the situation and how Madrid have not submitted any bid. I think Madrid wanted to have there man for Free next season but with PSG persistent to sell this season I think Madrid will make a late bid just to get PSG to agree bae on fear of not losing him for free

In as much as I want to believe that Real Madrid is having some behind the scene negotiations to sign a world class striker that'll replace their outgone striker Karim Benzema before the end of the transfer window, I also have to point out the fact that Real Madrid isn't a club that's known for making secret bids on players.
Kylian Mbappe has always been their target while the player has also stated his decision to commit his future with the Spanish giants. Whatever might happen, the Spanish club must know that they really need a striker to succeed next season

[TopT3ns]

Indeed.
Benzema is Real Madrid's last strength, I mean, after Benzema left Real Madrid, this club really hasn't found a player at least of his class who can strengthen the team and perform brilliantly in various matches. Because Real Madrid's target is not only in La Liga but also the Champions League (UCL) ). Mbappe is his hope now to restore Real Madrid to glory.

At least the efforts made by Benzema while at Real Madrid have yielded very good results and have been his best contribution at Real Madrid.
Unfortunately, at the moment, there is still no one who can replace Benzema at Real Madrid because the task is very difficult and not everyone can replace him easily.

[Leviathan.007]

Your analysis of the game and football is top tier, Real Madrid never planned to let Benzema leave but as he wanted, they couldn't say no to tie him down. If well considered he has impacted majorly for Real Madrid. He should hold the position of the third Real Madrid highest goal scorer after Ronaldo and Raul.

Actually, Real Madrid planned on letting Benzema go. They didn't try to persuade him, they didn't offer him a new deal. A good number of the Madrid fans wanted him gone. They say he's old, slow, and finished. They blamed him for the loss against City, they also blamed him for the league loss. They said he has declined and could no longer play for Madrid.

The mistake Madrid made was thinking getting Mbappe would be easy. They knew PSG won't want to lose Mbappe for free so they'll sell him this summer for a lower fee. They believed they would get Mbappe to replace Benzema.

At this point, Mbappe is not all Madrid needs right now. The defense is in chaos and the midfield is not creative enough. A midfield of Camavinga, Bellingham, Valverde, and Tchouameni is not a creative midfield I'm afraid. They may win games but when they meet teams that are very compact in defense they won't be able to penetrate. That's exactly what happened against Barcelona and Juventus in thepre-seasonss.
Right now the only creative players for Madrid is Vinicius. If he can be kept quiet then Madrid is toothless.

Regarding Tchouaméni, he is a young player and sure he can have a good future if he stays in Real Madrid but Tchouaméni got offers from Manchester United and Bayern Munich. Since in Real Madrid, they have strikers in top class playing for Real Madrid can't be easy for him and that's why Real Madrid is considering selling this player especially after they hired Bellingham there will be less chance for Tchouaméni.




Currently, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and Manchester United are linked to this player.

[LUCKMCFLY]

It's a shame that a young player who was expected to bring positive things to this club now has to suffer an injury and keeps him out of action for about 2 months. And even that could be more if the recovery process does not go smoothly.

He is still very young, it is not a big problem for him to focus on recovery for 2 months. I'm sure Real Madrid has enough facility to make the recovery goes smoothly. Real Madrid is one of the top clubs in the world, we shouldn't doubt how they will treat Arda. They should try their best to recover Arda's injuried as soon as possible.

Well, but these things are very normal, the only thing is that what happened to him is some bad luck, it's still two months, that goes by quickly, the important thing here is that things at Real Madrid have everything well prepared, Ancelotti is a coach who has everything very well calculated, surely he already has everything adjusted and surely he has a replacement for him, it is impossible for him to count on playing with that injury, in the same way Madrid already has a lot of experience with this type of case Well, with Hazard they experienced something like this, I hope it doesn't spread like Hazard's, but I'm sure they can handle that on the right foot.

Indeed.
Benzema is Real Madrid's last strength, I mean, after Benzema left Real Madrid, this club really hasn't found a player at least of his class who can strengthen the team and perform brilliantly in various matches. Because Real Madrid's target is not only in La Liga but also the Champions League (UCL) ). Mbappe is his hope now to restore Real Madrid to glory.

Unfortunately, at the moment, there is still no one who can replace Benzema at Real Madrid because the task is very difficult and not everyone can replace him easily.

You are absolutely right, but here things have to be seen from the point of view that Madrid is a very big team, I know that Benzema is a benchmark for a very complete striker, but at this point the one with the most options for that great substitution It was Mbappé, but Mbappé made a big mistake, the season that Madrid was looking for him and they gave a lot of money for him, he preferred to stay at PSG, which nobody at Madrid liked, now they have to do a lot of things at Ancelotti's team to integrate and cover that gap that Benzema left, it's not easy, but really things with this player everything he bet on was great, as far as I'm concerned the best thing Benzema did was save Madrid at the moments I needed it the most, and above all it was in those moments that were at the end of the match, I'm talking about the 90th minute, in discount time, all of that was what Benzema contributed.

With the hopes of everyone, they love Mbappé because he is a good player, he is French and he has a lot of sympathy with them, the bad thing was preferring PSG over Real Madrid, that decision is something that Florentino Pérez does not forgive, they do not give second chances After this, I don't know if he will change his mind about the player, but I see it as difficult, very difficult, there is talk that they could bring him in next season, but it is not something under which I, as a Madridista, would be excited.

Some are saying that they are closing the business, but I don't believe it, there are many rumors, gossip and a lot of talk out there, but you don't have to be so gullible, things in football are like that, sometimes they are mysterious and they can make believe what others want, but the reality may be different.

Kylian Mbappe prepared to spend season on loan in Premier League as battle commences

Now with the Mbappe situation having become toxic PSG would be prepared to allow him to leave on loan for a substantial fee before potentially leaving on a free transfer next summer.

That has alerted a number of Premier League clubs including Chelsea, Arsenal and despite denials from Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool.

Source: https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/mbappe-open-to-prem-move-30636736

Personally, I have seen that things with Mbappé are quite difficult, they have always tried to do many things to please the player, the situation of Mbappé and PSG has been too toxic, now what makes the most noise is Liverpool, They have an illusion because the player likes that team, he also goes on loan so they can do something really good this season, now, when this season is over, things can change for what the French player has always wanted , and it is to go to Real Madrid so that he can fulfill his dream of playing in white, so here is something that I want to emphasize, opportunities should not be missed, because look what happens, there would be a big problem, if he had accepted going to Madrid was not going through that uncomfortable situation.

As I said before, right now they can say yes to Mbappé, but he still can't go to Madrid, and from there he can go to Madrid and it's not up to him, it will depend on Real Madrid if they want him or not, because very easily for the next season in Madrid they can say no to Mbappé, and since there is nothing signed, it would backfire on the Frenchman, so for me the Frenchman is hanging by a needle.

[SatoPrincess]

It would certainly be great for Madrid if Benzema stays with Madrid this season. But Benzema knows very well, if Madrid gets a suitable replacement for Benzema, then Madrid would throw Benzema away. And so Benzema did not take any risk. He has received good offers from Saudi clubs. This is why he is with the club in Saudi Arabia.
It is difficult to find a suitable replacement for Benzema. Joselu is really talented. There is no doubt about it. Because in the last season he was third in the list of goal scorers of La Liga. He is quite talented. However, he may not be able to contribute to Real Madrid's performance like Benzema. However, if he adapts to the Madrid squad, he can contribute to the stability of Madrid's performance.

Benzema’s form has dropped in recent months because of his age and him being prone to injuries, his move to Saudi was probably the best move for him. Moving on from here is now the next step for Real Madrid as they consider Kylian Mbappe as the preferred replacement but a deal is yet to be agreed on between the two clubs at the moment. Mbappe is also indecisive on where to go, he has mentioned in the past that Real Madrid is his childhood dream club but now it seems that Mbappe is being swayed by the offers from Saudi clubs.

[Leviathan.007]

Why is that, of course you can look at the list of players they have next season and find their statistics and performance. We know that not all Barcelona players have good performance, but they have a great main squad and are also ready to compete with other La Liga teams next season.

Xavi may soon lose one of his best wingers if PSG manage to reach an agreement with Dembele. But Barcelona still has Raphinha who was also one of Xavi's mainstay wingers last season, but next season I think Ansu Fati or Ferran Torres will get more minutes to play. Dembele has talk his desire to leave for Xavi, but I don't think Xavi will mind too much of that even though Dembele is still expected to stay. Barcelona is basically ready to compete next season even though this team has financial constraints.

Dembele moving out of Barca is more sure than Mbappe moving to the La Liga side, Real Madrid.
The fact that Barca will now have about €50million to be able to afford Cancelo without much stress or expenses is one good thing for them, after all, Dembele warmed the bench more due to long injury spell or not just up for starters because he claimed at a time, how racism was his issue for agreeing to the deal with PSG.
Am happy for him though, as he will fell more at home and be safe.

Barca has good tactics and would do well with Cancello signing.

It's not clear to me that Barcelona is not even thinking about Dembele anymore because they know this player is already lost and there is no reason to even think about him however Dembele could be a useful player for Xavi in the next season because of Barcelona playing in Champions League but I think Barcelona is trying to find other players to replace him. Bradley Barcola is the target for Barcelona but this player is also linked to PSg and even for this player Barcelona should race with PSG which is hard for them but I think after Dembele joining PSG this can be easier for Barcelona to hire this French player from Olympique Lyon.

Not really, he could still get into the runner up of top scorer leader board in la liga last season. I think that benzema has a different opinion why he decided to go to the saudi club instead of agree in staying on real madrid even longer. Joselu is not performing so well like when he played for espanyol last season. Mbappe will be only possible to come next year. Real madrid is not interesting to buy him directly from PSG. Many people are waiting for madrid to send its bid for mbappe but the club is looking for alternative striker other than mbappe right now.
Madrid knows if joselu was not that good as a new striker for real madrid. It's the reason madrid is not approaching mbappe anymore. Madrid urgently needs a new striker right now.
The club can't only rely upon joselu as a striker in the club since his performance was under perform in real madrid.
