La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[SOKO-DEKE]

Barcelona has submitted its offer for Williams, a very prominent player in Europe yesterday this player has individual skills and also good running and made the President of Barca interested in bringing him into the team and working with Flick who is Barcelona's head coach, but Barca needs finances. to penetrate Williams because Williams' release clause is worth 58 million, and now Barcelona needs financial fair play to continue.
Seeing the combination of Williams and Yamal, they support each other and are very suitable to work together because the two of them can switch places in times of difficulty and they do good things as they played when defending their country, Spain, and with his arrival it will definitely increase Barca's fighting power in the next season and the competition with their rivals will be very heated because they currently have very productive wingers at work, with circumstances like this it will be very interesting to see the Laliga battle next season if Barcelona works very well next season.

If Barcelona can sign this young talented player called William, it's going to be a great deal. I believe William is going to exceed people's expectations by his performances, especially playing alongside Yamal. Currently, I see that Barcelona is making every effort to sign the player. However, with the way things are going with Barcelona, I can't say for sure that they will be able to sign him, because Arsenal is also very interested in signing William. So, let's just wait and see if Barcelona will get the opportunity to sign William given their financial situation, as they don't have much to spend on him. The way I am observing things, I think Arsenal has a better chance to sign William than Barcelona.

At least signing Nico Williams would be a good move actually. They say Barcelona fans have even started a donation campaign on the team account on Tiktok, is it true?    I wouldn't be surprised if it is though.

That's true and several major sports media have reported about it, some of them are: beIn SPORTS & Football Espana.

They made their supporters take initiatives like that, I really regret the attitude & governance of the Barcelona board. With the conditions and bad things that Barcelona is currently in, I don't think they deserve to be in La Liga, maybe La Liga 2 will suit them better, LOL. EURO is over, but I haven't heard any progress on the Nico Williams transfer rumours, does he really want to go to Barcelona?

Athletic Bilbao headcoach, Ernesto Valverde Tejedor wouldn't place any pave way for the exits of his potential players. He's ready to take his team to next level because there are more possibilities of his squad winning major titles. Also, We should be extremely careful with these online information relates to football, most of them are likeable to be rumours. Nico Williams is potential player for Barcelona, playing for Athletic Bilbao and also winning the euro 2024 with Spain puts him infront as the most valuable player in Athletic Bilbao at just tender age.

Well, this would be a major step out of the mess if they can sign Williams for the set transfer fee of 60 million. With Lamine Yamal and Williams they would have one of the most promising striker duos in the world. If Yamal's development continues like this, I think he'd be in the position to become a global superstar. Williams is 5 years older though, but still very promising and high speed. At least they could build a team around those two guys and it is not like Barcelona wouldn't have any good players at the moment, but they would get away relatively cheaply due to that release clause. I guess they couldn't stem a transfer of 120+ million at this point. So this would be a perfect solution for them.

That's a little bit weird but Real Madrid is thinking about hiring Sergio Ramos and returning this player to Real Madrid while Sergio Ramos is getting old and he is out of good form.
In Marca, they say they need better defenders. They think playing with Alaba, Militão, and Rüdiger won't be enough for a season with 72 games and they will need more players. Since Ramos is not playing for any team, they can consider making his return and this can be a good chance for Ramos to end his career in a team like Real Madrid.


 

Sergio Ramos back to Real Madrid? I haven't read such a news but guess what? I already have a clear picture of Sergio Ramos and Rudiger bullying defenders if this happens.
I don't know what will happen though, but, fingers crossed, I haven't even seen Fabrizio Romano tweeting such even in the last three to four days.

After the exit of  Nacho Fernandez, I feel like Real Madrid needs a defender. We've had rumours of Saliba and then Leny Yoro who Manchester United leapfrogged Real Madrid to get.
I don't know the plans they have but, they'll surely get some tougher player in, they've obviously got all the time to do that, four to five weeks before the La Liga kicks off.

[Baki202]

In the market out there, there are really good players who can always help Barcelona become much better than they are currently but the challenge has been with Barcelona lacking the capacity to be able to afford these players, it's become a really big hitch on their progress to wanting to strengthen the team but lack the capacity to. The presence of Williams, tho will not guarantee victory in every game, but will definitely help them a lot, combined with collective efforts from other team mate, they would make a really good team who will be able to get them to winning and getting the season to be a better one on their side .

There are players but it won't be easy for Barcelona to go for any player now because of their financial condition clubs will always find their way out and if it gets to a worse condition they can either sell players but which player does Barcelona have that they want to sell, or they can go for loan either loan a player or loan money other clubs do it but such pieces of information will not be disclosed to the public that is why you won't know. so the management should be able to do the needful by making the decision that will help Barcelona regain their glory back to the Barcelona we used to know. and with their new coach wanting to do everything possible in other to regain that glory, he needs to also find a way of encouraging the players that they can do better am not a fan of Barcelona but been a football player is not easy.

Not sure Sergio Ramos will return to Real Madrid although indeed, players like Modric also still get a contract extension, but that does not mean Real Madrid will do the same to Sergio Ramos. Instead of playing at Real Madrid, I only get news about the issue of Sergio Ramos who will play in another team and league there or maybe in the Saudi Professional League. I think it might happen, or maybe also play with Messi again in MLS, just like they did at PSG.

But yes, the point is I still don't believe if there are rumors that Sergio Ramos will return to Real Madrid, because if the reason is to play 72 matches then I don't think that's the main factor. Because from season to season Real Madrid has been successful even though they don't have second tier players who have good quality, but in reality Real Madrid has still managed to win many trophies. After all, if Sergio Ramos returned to Real Madrid it would also be very risky, because Sergio Ramos still often gets red cards.

Real Madrid holding back? I don't think so because they're promptly the best to acknowledge a smooth run when it involves major titles and winning made easy for them. Real Madrid will improved rapidly next season, because of the arrival of Kylian Mbappe. The Frenchman have understand the necessary arrangement to enter smoothen track of streak winnings.

Come to think of it, generating shocking interest in Sergio Ramos? It's strange because Real Madrid have outstanding players and fierce defenders, we should patiently watch how everything play out for them.

Yes, Barcelona have financial problems, but that doesn't mean that Barcelona will fail next season. They are going to restructure and completely change their style of play. I think Barcelona under Flick will surprise everyone. The pre season Barca training will consist of maximum intensity double training sessions and at the same time Hansi will bring new tactical ideas. Hansi also wants to maximize the physical strength of the team. If Barca concentrate on their defensive deficiencies and develop tactics to get more out of their young players, come back to this comment as Barcelona will shine next season.

Sergio Ramos back to Real Madrid? I haven't read such a news but guess what? I already have a clear picture of Sergio Ramos and Rudiger bullying defenders if this happens.

It will be the same as the duo of Sergio and Pepe because indeed looking at the way Rudiger plays when compared to Sergio and Pepe it clearly looks almost similar

It's just that I'm not too sure about this because looking at Sergio's current condition and age he is very old to return to competing with a busy schedule like Madrid.
Although this is still possible especially since we know that Sergio is a legend as well as one of the captains who is quite meritorious in Madrid but I think this will only be an option if it happens.

It would be preferable if Madrid look for younger and more energetic players so that the situation in defense is more inclined towards a better direction especially by looking at Ancelotti's strategy now it seems that he prefers to bring in young players to create on every Madrid line.

Like always, the average football fan does not understand the financial situation of Barcelona. Do you people really believe Barcelona is so broke they can't afford 60 million players? Have you guys forgotten so soon how much they signed Raphinha and Kounde, how about Lewandoski? Barcelona is broke, but it doesn't mean they can't make any signings at all.

What would be a problem for Barcelona is making the wrong signings. I see reports that they have submitted bids for both Nico Williams and Dani Olmo. It's justifiable to make Nico a priority, but Olmo? They need a DM before anything else and they should put that money into signing a DM instead.
I believe Barcelona will make signings this summer, but they have to be careful not to sign players that they don't really need.

Do not worry about Barcelona, they will not spend anything more than what they can afford to. Even if the price is high, they will divide it for several years to reduce the charge.
Barcelona is one of the top clubs that always has financial issues. The salary of the players these years contributed to that in addition to the bad management and no title to add money to the club..

Real Madrid has announced Endrick officially. 

Spending nearly 50 million € on this young lad might look quite risky to many people. Considering he's only 17... But nowadays teams are all in for investing into such talents. Endrick really looks good even at this age. I watched him in Brazil shirt in some matches and really liked his style. He has so much to learn of course but I'm always impressed with this kind of special players. They are ready to surprise us at a very young age too.

Yes Barcelona have more than €100M to spend on anything but the financial constraints isn’t about the money you have but the restrictions are placed on them that you can’t spend them. Barcelona have this money to buy players but the financial restrictions gives them some benchmark mark not to spend beyond some certain amount and that includes players wages too. So soemtimes you might see them complaining not to been able to spend like 60M on players buy except sale.

In the issue of signings like Lewandowski, the amount wasn’t payed in one payment but splitted into years to be paid, same with other signings too. This was also coupled with the fact that most senior players had to take a pay cut to continue playing and help the club to sign players. So it is still same issue with this Nico and Olmo deals. They might have the money but they can’t spend it, due to UEFA and FIFA bench mark

This won't happen. I don't think Sergio Ramos returned to Real Madrid to accept sitting on the bench. And importantly, Real Madrid is a team that is targeting young talents, they will not choose a player who is too old.
Ramos will become a free agent this summer and will not have a new contract with Sevilla Club. If Sevilla Club extends his contract, his salary will also be very low. I advise him to go to clubs in Saudi Arabia or MLS. Here he will receive a high salary and here of course he will be the main player. It has been reported that MLS expansion club San Diego FC is making a move to sign Sergio Ramos. This could be a good opportunity for him to continue his career.

This is a joke, it's impossible for Real Madrid to re-hire the 38 year old Ebrusian player. Currently, Real Madrid's focus is on regenerating its players to become stronger. especially this season maybe the focus will be on their defense. and Centre-Back? I know that Real Madrid need a Centre-Back at the moment, but as you said, it's definitely not Ramos. Ramos was indeed a player who played a very important role in the past, but his era is over and we appreciate that.

I even tried to look for these rumors in the news, but they were old rumors and there were no new rumors. Currently, Ramos' position is 'without club", at his old age, there won't be many top European clubs who want him, unless it's Saudi Arabia, probably.

Barcelona management could recruit any player in the transfer window, but by going into debt to the player parent club, this is also what many other clubs do. Apart from that, another way is to release the players they have, especially young players who are on the rise like Lamine Yamal, this will provide extra profits to the club. In my opinion, Barcelona is still trying to get out of a difficult situation, by taking advantage of various player transfer possibilities. Management also tried to cut the club's expenses by reducing player salaries, this was forced to do because there were not many other options.

Until now I have not read the news that Real Madrid wants to bring in Sergio Ramos again. This seems very unlikely to happen to a club like Real Madrid because we know that Real Madrid is not a team that recruits old players. It is true that currently Real Madrid's defense doesn't have many options after Nacho left, but that doesn't mean that losing Nacho will make Real Madrid panic and then Sergio Ramos will come because that is very unlikely to happen.

It could be said that this rumor is fake, even if there is an issue like that, perhaps the people spreading this issue are indeed the fans who like Sergio Ramos and they really want Sergio Ramos to return to Real Madrid. But once again Real Madrid is not a team that is careless in recruiting players. Real Madrid is currently building a squad for the future because the average Real Madrid player is still young, especially as you said after Mbappe joined. Real Madrid has the ambition to defend the Laliga and UCL titles next season.

There is no urgency at all for Real Madrid to re-sign Sergio Ramos, his glory days are over and his performance is starting to decline. A club like Real Madrid would prefer players who are younger and whose toughness has been proven in guarding the back line compared to players who are no longer able to produce their best performance. MLS or the Arab League might be more suitable for him to fill the void before he decides to retire, his experience is really needed there to help the development of other players.
If Sergio Ramos returns to Real Madrid, it is certain that he will play a new role there, no longer as a player. Real Madrid is very selective in choosing players, especially those who operate in the defensive area, there are still many other quality and young players who can be brought in rather than having to bring back older players.

Selling potential young players is not the right way, in fact Barcelona management continues to make efforts to bring in other quality players so this is proof that Barcelona management is serious enough in building this team even though it is in a downturn.
Barcelona is currently trying to sell several players who do not have a sacred/important role in the squad in order to bring in quality players, that is quite the right step to take compared to having to sell potential young players like Yamal, I think that is a very bad thing and not will occur.
