La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Uruhara]

The come of Alvarez to Atletico Madrid makes me wonder what's gonna happen with Felix soon. If Atletico Madrid has abandoned him, it seems that many share my curiosity.

Also, It's wrong to say Alvarez didn't get enough time to play in the City's squad. I saw him play regularly, and Pep always rotated him with Haaland.

Just like when Haaland played in the first half, then Alvarez could go in to substitute Haaland, or he played as AM. But like your hope, best of luck for Alvarez in Atletico Madrid. This is gonna be a new challenge for him.

I also wonder about the fate of Joao Felix there, who was always not included in the coach's plans at Atletico Madrid. I always feel sorry for this Portuguese player. He has quality but he always ends up being loaned to another team. And I think things like that will continue as long as he is still at Atletico Madrid. I hope Joao Felix can find a new club that can appreciate his game more.

Alvarez still always gets playing minutes at Man City. It's just that when Haaland hasn't been injured, we know that Haalang always plays the full game so Alvarez is rarely played. Alvarez is only played when Man City faces weak teams. But after Haaland suffered an injury after that, Alvarez started to get more playing time. Even after Haaland returned, we know that Haaland rarely plays full time. And in the end he was always replaced by Alvarez at the end of the match. But for Alvarez all that was not enough. Because at another club he would definitely be the main player. And now at Atletico Madrid he will make it happen.

I hope Joao Felix can find a new club that can appreciate his game more.

Everything depends on Simeone but it looks like Joao can also be juxtaposed with Julian later where it could be that the 4-2-3-1 scheme becomes Simeone's mainstay because they always apply one striker in front and 3 positions behind the striker can be filled by Joao, Julian Alvarez and Correa as an increase in attack power for Atletico because for their striker it is certain that last season's top score, Sorloth, who just joined, will definitely fill his position considering Morata and Depay have left.

Simeone is now working hard to make his squad better which if we look at the last few seasons it seems like this is Siemeone's serious season in looking for players because apart from Julian Alvarez and Sorloth, they are currently also seriously negotiating with Chelsea to bring in Gallagher for their midfield.

[Weawant]

I can't understand how Atletico Madrid made Julian Alvarez to move. Julian Alvarez was a player of Manchester City and he had a good performance in this team because of the good coach they have there. Also, he could win more titles with Manchester City but when Atletico Madrid sent him an offer he decided to leave Manchester City for Atletico Madrid.
During the time when Julián Álvarez was playing for Manchester City, he played in 103 games and scored 36 goals for this team.

 

Atletico Madrid found him as a player who will be of great help to their squad an then went ahead to get him, he was also ready to move not because he's not doing well at Manchester city but probably for personal reasons which could aswell bee for his career. Due to the kind of players present in Manchester city, ita very true he had more chances winning trophies at Manchester city than he's going to at Atletico but if Atletico best fits his desire at this point it wouldn't be a bad idea probably for experience and other career benefits.

[KingsDen]

This is how Atletico Madrid's new lineup is going to look like after recent completed and potential transfers.

Alvarez - Sørloth duo would be really interesting... Sørloth scored 23 goals in the La Liga last season you know. It was one of his career-high performances. While he has turned into a goal machine, I think Atletico Madrid has made a really good move. In that case I don't know whether Griezmann would be in the position it is shown in the image. If it is like second striker then it might be possible. Let's see. They are building a nice lineup for the new season.  

With what I am reading from this thread, has Alvarez been completely signed by Atletico Madrid now? If yes, that's a welcomed development. The last time I read about it, it was like a rumour.

If Alvarez and Sorloth pair at the front, Griezmann will fall a bit deep where he will be swapping with Felix. Although this is my personal opinion, Simeone might have a different plan. But we shouldn't forget that this squad is not deep enough for battle Real Madrid. Although, it can contest with Barcelona.

Simeone is now working hard to make his squad better which if we look at the last few seasons it seems like this is Siemeone's serious season in looking for players because apart from Julian Alvarez and Sorloth, they are currently also seriously negotiating with Chelsea to bring in Gallagher for their midfield.

I even found out that Sorloth moved to Atletico this season. He stole the show last season where when our focus was more on Dovbyk and Jude as top scorers, Sorloth stood out in the final match which made him La Liga's top scorer and indeed he now belongs to Atletico for 32 million.

Yes, it seems that for this season Atletico will try to overhaul their attacking line and indeed it is a natural thing because if we look at what happened last season, their targetman Depay and Morata sometimes struggled even though there was always Griezmann who was always an alternative.
The deal for Julian is almost certain with 75 million in transfer fees and 20 million in add-ons already agreed upon but there will definitely be a domino effect especially for the current attacking line as there will definitely be some big-name players who will be sacrificed.

Since a long time, Atletico Madrid targeted Conor Gallagher.
Finally, they will really get this Chelsea's Central Midfield. The proses is very doing well, closely.

Atletico Madrid squad is almost done and all-set. It remains to be seen whether they will get back to the done deal with another defender they are targeting. This club is going much better this season.

[Lida93]

Yesterday i just post about this before and the news has been appears today that finally Atletico Madrid has officially gets Julian Alvarez from Manchester City i think they had just make dare moved with gets Julian Alvares with 95 million as transfer fees which this is can be called as saga transfer for them because i have to says Atletico Madrid is rarely to done this buying the player with the expensive price so this is not their habit actually

Julian Alvarez has agree to signing 5 years contract with Atletico Madrid which mean he will be at this team until 2029 and for Manchester City this is very huge profit from them because they can sell Julian Alvarez with 95 million because previously they only buy this player 14 million

Last I remember, Atletico Madrid paid a lot of money for Joao Felix. They didn't get much out of him, I hope they can get some out of Julian Alvarez. Julian Alvarez is a very quality player. He tried to score goals at every opportunity at Manchester City, but he didn't get enough playing time because his opponent was Haaland, the best in the world. I hope he can have a successful season at Atletico.

The come of Alvarez to Atletico Madrid makes me wonder what's gonna happen with Felix soon. If Atletico Madrid has abandoned him, it seems that many share my curiosity..

I do share in your curiosity but in all, this deal strucked was more than expedient because Joax Felix has not actually delivered to the expectation of the club on arrival and maybe having a competitor in that position with him in the team may spur him to form, except he doesn't improve then he definitely may scrub bench for Alvarez. Having two strikers in a team isn't a big deal but the fact remains that the player who is proven to be the very best will always have much playing time the the other.

[Slow death]

I have not seen much inflow and outflow of players from Atletico Madrid, could it be they don't have much interest. Girona is another team I'm looking forward to play this season. If Atletico and Girona can stand firm in this season, Real Madrid will fear their return most especially Girona.

Are you sure?
Atletico Madrid may not sign so many players. But, when they do, they get quite top players.

So far, they have signed:

Both Sørloth and Le Normand are great talented players. And their quality last season was very good, especially Sørloth, one of top scorer La Liga after Dovbyk. And now, Atletico Madrid is still awaiting for the signing contract with Julián Álvarez, top attacker of Man City.

So, the formation will be right here with the rumor included:

this season Atletico Madrid made some good signings, but they also lost Alvaro Morata who is now playing for Milan, so it makes sense that Atletico Madrid would go to the market to sign a player to fill Alvaro Morata's place, it's funny that in these games friendlies that atlético madrid are doing, they put joao felix in, and it's good because that means that joao felix and atlético's coach and management have decided to leave the problems of the past and focus on the problems of the present and the future


 

I don't know if Atlético Madrid became stronger or if the opponent was extremely weak, conceding 6 goals against Atlético Madrid is really funny. Atletico Madrid's first official game will be against Villareal. We will see in this game how much Atlético Madrid has improved

Joao Felix future in Atletico Madrid is still uncertain although seems his relationship with Simeone are getting better but there is no guarantee Simeone will fully trust him to playing regularly for next season and indeed currently Joao Felix was into Atletico Madrid squad for pre season tour even when he was played Joao Felix can scored goal against Getafe but Simeone hasn't talk more about the possibility to hold or will sell Joao Felix

Actually there was a rumour that Aston Villa has showing their interest to him even Unay Emery said he is the fans of Joao Felix but unfortunately until now this team is never bid for him and actually Joao Felix still hope Barcelona can permanent his status but seems Barcelona won't do that

In my opinion moved from Atletico Madrid could be good option for Joao Felix because currently Atletico Madrid has Alexander Sørloth and Julian Alvarez so he have no place anymore on Atletico Madrid starting lineup and if Joao Felix still stayed i am sure his status only as the substutition players

Atletico Madrid will likely look to cash in on him in the summer transfer window, at least to cover the club-record signing of Julian Alvarez. Although Joao Felix has returned to Atletico Madrid, it seems unlikely Diego Simeone will rely on him next season, with me speculating that the Portuguese international will be loaned back to Barcelona. In essence, the best move for Joao Felix is ​​​​a move away, even if it is not to Barcelona, ​​​​because it has been very difficult to win Diego Simeone trust after the tension. Aston Villa, Manchester United, Barcelona and Benfica are all said to be interested in signing him, but the biggest obstacle is his high market value. Besides, Julian Alvarez seems to have no trouble adapting to the culture of La Liga, because he comes from a more competitive league, namely the Premier League, we realize that is not a guarantee. However, overall Atletico have taken the right steps in dealing with Alvaro Moratta departure to AC Milan.

Well, Barcelona's opportunities are ready, we just have to see how they can be organized. For me, Barcelona can make the difference this time in the League. They may surprise us in the UCL, but I'm sure that if they manage to get the players to mesh Together.

I'm also aware that things with Nico haven't turned out like Barcelona have , they've been very Careful in giving and offering certain amounts, in many of the benefits that the team has , but it's up to him to decide. Now, this is another Option:



Barcelona offered chance to sign another high-profile Nico Williams alternative

La Liga giants Barcelona have on Wednesday been linked with a move for another high-profile winger option.

As much, of course, comes as the Barca brass continue to seek out an alternative to first-choice summer transfer target Nico Williams.

Amid the widespread understanding that Nico is increasingly likely to stay put at Athletic Club for the season ahead, Deco and his team of directors have been forced to look elsewhere in their search for fresh blood out wide.

On Tuesday, Juventus outcast Federico Chiesa was named as one such option.

And, as alluded to above, 24 hours on, another leading figure at one of Europe’s top clubs has too been tipped to make his way to the Camp Nou.

The player in question? Kingsley Coman.

France international Coman is understood to have been deemed surplus to requirements by Bayern Munich this summer, available for transfer as a result.

I've said it that this season MIGHT be a turn around for Barcelona even with their finacial status TBH it just that they need to get the perfect
merge for a good comunication else it might still be worst just as people expected but IMV i think they will perform better this season even though it's
a speculation,i still don't doubt it.
Nico might not agree to the T&C from Barca at the moment i read that earliar this year but i still don't believe sh*t from social media because they spred
alot of news for their growth even if it's fake...If the kid seem to care about the pay then he should stay and maybe barca will come to his level if they really know his worth and what he's going to contribute to the club.
At the end if it doesn't work, i'm in full support of getting Dani Olmo, i believe he's going to make a good impact

[Jegileman]

Last season Atletico were quite interesting (due to the fact that they conceded a lot haha). With this acquisition, their attack will obviously become even stronger, so there is hope that Atletico's games will not be as boring and exhausting as in their best years. With all his love for defense, Simeone must understand that with such players he must seek his fortune in attack.

The strength of a squad depends on the quality of players in a club. Atletico Madrid have made some sacrifices and this season should be a good one for them. Having Julian Alvarez in the attack is a very big motivation for any te that have been struggling in the attack and to make a lot of wins which was previously caused by lack of concern and support for the team in the frontline. Atletico Madrid should be a major contender in the league title in their next season, they shouldn’t misuse this opportunity .

In addition to the quality of the players they have, the coach also greatly determines the level of success of the club because he is the one who determines the game strategy.
Julian Alvarez has a fairly expensive price and Atletico Madrid must know the consequences because last season their attack line was quite blunt where the number of goals they scored was not so productive.
The presence of Julian Alvarez will certainly add a much more perfect level of attack for Atletico Madrid and maybe because of these considerations they dare to spend a lot of money to recruit him.

[Litzki1990]

But if we talk about the opportunity to play in a big club, it can give him the opportunity to develop faster because he is motivated to play consistently at all times to become a core player. Usually when there are challenges and pressure it will give great motivation to every player.
If in the end Nico Williams stays endure, maybe he has considered many things so that is the decision he chooses.
Next season he can decide again which club to go to and most importantly he can maintain the consistency of his best playing form so that he will remain one of the players targeted by many clubs.

Nico Williams has been in the spotlight after his impressive performance with Spain at Euro 2024. This has created a hype train and has made many big clubs want to recruit him. But I think his decision to stay with Bilbao is a good one. IMO it would be quite hasty for Nico Williams to accept an offer to another club at this time. By choosing to stay in Bilbao he will have one season to decide whether to stay at San Mamés or can consider another club next season. He is certain to be part of Bilbao's first team this season and if he can maintain his consistent performance, I think it is not impossible that his value will increase next season.

This season, the big clubs in Europe have tried to take him with a lot of interest, but if he does not show such performance in the next season, then the big clubs will not show much interest in taking him. 

Nico Williams has been offered by many clubs and if he accepts the offer now he can sign a long-term deal with those clubs and not have to worry about his career. If he decides to stay in Bilbao, he must improve his performance and play the whole season.
It's like a gamble because if he can improve his performance, he may receive offers from top clubs, but if his performance is worse than at present, his demand will decrease. There is still enough time so hopefully he will make the decision that is best for his career.

A team should not only have quality players but also experienced coaches who will guide the team towards success. If Atlético Madrid decide to sign Julian Alvarez, I expect the team to be stronger. Because Atletico Madrid's attack line is not that strong, but if this star is included in their new squad, the team can move forward successfully. If Atlético Madrid can form a good team at the start of the season, then surely they can fight hard enough to win the title.

[OcTradism]

This season, the big clubs in Europe have tried to take him with a lot of interest, but if he does not show such performance in the next season, then the big clubs will not show much interest in taking him. 

Impressive performances in big tournaments like World Cup, Euro, and Coppa America can help many young players to become more famous and attractive to big clubs. Success in Euro 2024 with Spain actually helps Nico Williams to gain more interests from big clubs in the Europe.

Nico Williams has been offered by many clubs and if he accepts the offer now he can sign a long-term deal with those clubs and not have to worry about his career. If he decides to stay in Bilbao, he must improve his performance and play the whole season.
It's like a gamble because if he can improve his performance, he may receive offers from top clubs, but if his performance is worse than at present, his demand will decrease. There is still enough time so hopefully he will make the decision that is best for his career.

Bilbao will not be able to keep Williams for a long time and is facing with pressure from big clubs this summer. If they won't lose Williams this summer, they will lose him in future like next one, two or three seasons. Because Bilbao is a small club and in modern football, most of players are not loyal with a single club. They will move to bigger clubs to have better income from salary, shirt sales, advertisement rights and have better opportunities to win trophies.

The purchase made by ATM at this time by bringing in Julian Alvarez from Manchester City is a good purchase, which if we look at the performance shown by Alvarez on the field is very good, with his young age ATM can take advantage of his performance in the long term, and that is a good investment, ATM from several seasons have indeed shown good performance in La Liga and the Champions League, it's just that luck has not been on their side,

to become champions in La Liga ATM must destroy Real Madrid's glory, but that will be difficult considering Real Madrid is filled with good players and on the other hand there is Mbappe who is ready to be a star in La Liga for now, and if we look at other clubs like Barcelona, ​​​​Barcelona with its young players showing positive performance in pre-season, the competition in La Liga will be even more exciting

La Liga will start soon so I think ATM has a chance to become champions

You make a valid point. The essence of bringing in Mbappe is to strengthen their attack and knowing how goal driven he is, the Frenchman will want to do everything to show the fans that he's got the stuff that made him great at PSG and as well will try to make it possible that with the help of his teammates they remain top of their league. In all it's safe to say this new season will be hot, with competition here and there but I have the belief that Diego Simeone will want a change to the status quo since it had been quite a while(11 years) to be precise when they last lifted the league title.

Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid have made some changes to their attack lines so I think the competition next season will be very fierce and it is difficult to predict who will win the La Liga title, Real Madrid will not necessarily be able to defend the La Liga title this season just because they have Mbappe, only their attacks are getting sharper, don't forget Girona who last season performed impressively in La Liga and finished in 3rd place I hope next season this club will still play well so that it will make a difference again, Atletico Bilbao also still retains Nico Williams to strengthen its attack next season so it seems that the five clubs will be the main competitors in fighting for the top position.

One good attacking player can indeed give a good effect to the team that is mainly in the attack line, but if the other lines are still quite weak in the squad, I think the team will not be able to do much even though they can rely on just one player in the attack line. Because one player will certainly not be able to bring changes to the entire team in one full season so Julian Alvarez certainly still needs better colleagues at Atletico Madrid so that they can become the main contender in the league this season.

Seeing how the top teams in the transfer market continue to bring in new players to strengthen their squads, the competition for the title will only increase. There is no guarantee that Real Madrid will be able to retain the title this season because the competition is increasingly competitive, Atletico Madrid continues to bring in classy players in order to hunt back the title that has not been won for a long time.

Barcelona have just officially signed Dani Olmo from Leipzig, but Barcelona very minimal activity in the transfer market does not mean they are unable to provide competition, Barcelona young players continue to surprise when defending Spain and their performance is also increasing. After Lamine Yamal managed to steal the show at the Euros, now it is Fermin Lopez's turn to shine at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Hansi Flick has no trouble with the squad he currently has because there are so many choices of players who have good performance.

Dani Olmo is a good player with his performances for Leipzig and Spain in two Euros, in 2021 and 2024 years. This is a good attacking player and can adapt well to favorite tactical style in Barcelona. This club does not have problems with midfield area but their issues often come from defensive and striker positions. Without Olmo, Barcelona already had a good midfield but with a striker position, ageing of Lewandowski, they will need to think of solution for Lewandowski replacement.

Their midfield and attacking players are good but not at level of golden era with Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Alves, Villa and they need to have a good striker to create pressure on opponent's defenders and score goals for Barcelona. Lewandowski will be less helpful in goal scoring with time because of ageing.
