La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

I can say that Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have been successful in this transfer market. Real Madrid became the most successful club because they managed to get one of the best strikers in the world today, Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer. Atletico Madrid managed to get Julian Alvarez from City. I also agree that Alvarez is a player that Simeone really needs to perfect his tactics this season. And finally, there is good news for Barcelona fans because they managed to get Dani Olmo. But there is news that Barcelona still cannot register Olmo because they still cannot meet the FFP rules.

Successfully landing Mbappe at Santiago Bernabeu is a major success in Real Madrid's transfer history because he is a player with a high price but was successfully brought in on a free transfer. Real Madrid are very fortunate to have successfully brought in Mbappe because their front line is getting sharper. Atletico have big ambitions after failing to win trophies in recent years, classy players have been brought in to improve their quality.

Barcelona actually made a surprise in the transfer market, when their ability to bring in new players was doubted due to the Financial Crisis, they actually managed to bring in Dani Olmo from Leipzig. Barcelona will do anything to register their new player, it's just a matter of time, Barcelona will soon register Olmo because Hansi Flick really needs his abilities to add strength to his squad.

The three most consistent clubs in Spanish La Liga in the last two decades Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid like you rightly said did all had a busy summer. The three clubs made significant signings but I'm more concerned of how well these signings will perform for their various clubs when the new season kicks off.
Real Madrid who added Kylian Mbappe and Brazilian youngster Endrick to their team I think doesn't have much to worry about how well the players can perform in their first season because they already have a great team who conquered Europe and Spain last season and are still managed by Carlo Ancelotti who managed them last season as well. But for Barcelona, they now have a new manager in Hansi Flick who intends to succeed with his own style of football. Atletico on the other hand allowed some of their key players of last season to exit the club while they sign their replacement do you think the new arrivals will easily settle in their new clubs?

There is a better offer in the new contract that Nico Williams has so that makes him stay at Bilbao especially this is also a situation that could have been better because by being at Bilbao at least he does not have to think about competition for the line-up because he certainly already has his own place in the squad.

He is still very young for now so there are still many opportunities to be at a big club later, even though in terms of statistics and strength Bilbao is still below some big clubs in La Liga but that should be an opportunity for Nico Williams to make him more interesting in the performance he does because if his consistency is maintained, sooner or later more big clubs will want his services.

The next destination of Nico Williams is not clear yet and we can't make sure if Nico Williams will stay in Bilbao or if he is going to leave. Recently he posted a video supporting his team and people said he was forced to do that and some other people think he will stay in Bilbao until he ends his contract.
The last news about Nico Williams and his situation is about this player being absent in the game they are going to have in Germany against Stuttgart and it seems Ernesto Valverde doesn't want to use this player anymore because of the rumors about him leaving the team.
 

The situation is currently a little unclear after there were some videos saying that Nico was ready with Atletico but in other rumors it was said that Nico had a personal agreement with Barcelona.

The news has become blurred after I was pretty sure that Nico would stay at Bilbao. But even so I think this rumor is really just a sweetener because after all for now especially when Barcelona have made a deal with Dani Olmo then it must be very difficult for them to bring a player of Nico's caliber at a price that is quite expensive at this time.
The value of Nico Williams is still the same where 70 million is a price that cannot be lowered again for now especially with the performance he showed at the Euros then it is clear that 70 million is an inviolable price and Barcelona will have difficulty with that price.

Regarding the new players recruited by Madrid and ATM, we may not need to worry. But what we should pay attention to is other teams like Barcelona. Now let's just look at the teams you mentioned, only Barcelona can't transfer players with better talent quality and all of that is due to the very bad financial situation. Madrid we can see Mbappe but in Barcelona we can't rely on anyone except the remaining players. And on the one hand the change of coach like Hansi Flick gives a higher impression of concern. Maybe everyone still believes in the new players recruited by Barcelona as long as Xavi still remains as the team's coach.

Beyond predictions Girona is among the big teams and they can even finish in a better ranking than Atletico Madrid, that is something that rarely happens in La Liga. It's quite nice to see a different situation like that and I want to see the same thing happen this season with a tighter level of competition. But I also have the same thoughts as you after Girona sold the striker who was the top scorer last season. It was a loss for them, even though they got the benefit from the sale. Usually the teams that were surprising in the previous season will decline in the next season, for some reason I often see this in La Liga. And the worst thing is felt by Sevilla, in the previous season they were able to provide very tight competition, but in the following season they played badly and they were even threatened with relegation.

Girona sold not only the striker, they sold their captain Aleix Garcia to Bayer, Savio was undoubtedly one of the leaders of the team, and he went to City, Dovbyk went to Roma, such changes should affect the team, and perhaps not in the best way. But Girona still have Michel, he is a very talented coach, and he will try to play with those who remained in the team and those who came, they took Romeu from Barcelona on loan, Gil from Tottenham, and bought defender Frances from Zaragoza. Yes, these are not famous players, but before the start of this season no one expected that Girona would be able to achieve such a good result.

Therefore I said they actually lost some players who were influential players in their game last season. Their hopes are now on their coach, if the coach can make the players play at their best, then their hopes will be high, but on the other hand if he fails to shape the game of the players (especially those who have just joined), then they will experience a decline. Here the role of the coach is very vital, because he is the one who can determine whether the player can play well or not, it is based on the implementation of the right strategy or can know the potential of a player. This is not something easy, because it requires hard work and intelligence that can be done in a balanced way. Apart from that, the chemistry between the players must also be created very well, because there are many good players but do not have chemistry, which ultimately has an impact on their game which cannot bring out their best abilities.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Young players are good, but you understand that it will take a long time for them to get the necessary experience, and Barcelona needs results now. They are trying to attract new players, they decided not to extend Felix's loan because of this, that is, they are doing something. They can also try to apply Real's strategy and attract players with free agent status to the team, for some teams this is also a working strategy. But Barcelona does not have big problems, they have a balanced team that is ready for the new season.

IMO, if Hansi Flick's gameplay goes well enough with their young players, it is hoped that Barcelona's core players can be much better. At least, the system that Hansi Flick will develop is slightly visible with him fielding Barcelona's young players. which might happen later, if some regular players cannot play with good performance. Hansi Flick does not hesitate to pull them out, and play young potential players. besides, as a coach who is rich in experience. I am quite sure that Flick realizes that the performance of the young players is so unstable, besides the age factor which is still very young, the lack of playing minutes that causes the ups and downs of the performance of the young players.
it could be that Barcelona's decision not to extend Joao Felix's loan was based on Flick trying the alternative he had, namely with La Masia academy players. I mean, if the regular players do not perform optimally, then these young players will be fielded. I am not sure about Cancelo, but in fact Barcelona needs to strengthen its defense. interestingly, many news reports that Hansi Flick aims to bring Barcelona back with his philosophy. therefore, he plans to bring Barcelona to be champions. although, it is not as easy as he said. we know that Real Madrid looks much more competitive, as well as Ateltico by bringing in several new arrivals in this season's window that can provide tough competition for Barcelona. but still, as Barcelona lovers we will give our full support.

If I recall correctly, in the last season Barcelona had a lot of problems with the defense. Barcelona was unable to defend properly and gave away some easy points. that’s why Barcelona was unable to win the La Liga title in the end. Otherwise, the Catalan giants also had a very good chance of winning the La Liga title. The Catalan giants lost against a pretty average team with a score of 4-2, and were in a very crucial period of the season. At least that’s what I remember. So yes the Catalan giants should improve the defense a lot.

Hansi Flick has to make a lot of decisions. They have to think about the money that they have, they also have to think about how to save money. Of course, the sensible decision at this moment seems to be bringing in young players but if there is a lack of experience in the squad, it can also be a problem for La Blaugrana.

For some reason, I think Atletico Madrid is going to be the biggest competition of the Catalan giants in the next season. And Ancelotti's Real Madrid is again going to run away with things.

And finally, there is good news for Barcelona fans because they managed to get Dani Olmo. But there is news that Barcelona still cannot register Olmo because they still cannot meet the FFP rules.

FFP rules are what has been causing Barcelona trouble for the last few years. The unbalanced economic spending in the past has upset Barcelona's balance for a few seasons. They are currently in the recovery phase. They will definitely make an adjustment for the Olmo transfer. Therefore, it is not difficult to predict that there will be players leaving the team. Maybe they can send a few players from the midfield to other teams. Also, Atletico Madrid made a transfer of Sorloth in addition to Alvarez. He was a striker I liked a lot last year. He will fight for the form with Alvarez and Diego Simeone will be advantageous in this situation. He has two warrior strikers. Atletico Madrid has one of the best offensive lines this year.

This is an old stories of Barcelona.

1. They can't register players

2. Barca activates its lever to try to navigate its terrible financial situation.

3. Barcelona got some money to only avoid their financial problem in short term.

Barcelona never ever seriously tried to solve their financial trouble. That said, Laporta's actions in Barcelona don't affect their finances. But, his decisions are making Barcelona worse. This is so silly. What sort of club buys a player it can't even register? This is only happening with Barcelona. I was not a hater, but I was disappointed. Laporta and his team mismanaged Barcelona's finances.

Everyone would have been making efforts to want to get better than other clubs, especially Barcelona they did not show any interest or did not make any serious attempt to get a strong player. Madrid participated in getting Mbappé, the level which  Real Madrid have gone. is just going to make the whole thing more interesting because with the kind of combination that Madrid is setting having vicious Junior, Mbappé other representative Playing attack for Real Madrid. Atletico Madrid having Alvarez does not change anything because am very sure mbappe will want to prove people wrong because even me personally I still have doubt you can not predict players even if they are good, Barcelona acquiring Dani Olmo they tried because even with their financial situation they still find it very difficult to buy a play so for them to make a move, it is something that some clubs can hardly do because of finance.

This is so silly. What sort of club buys a player it can't even register? This is only happening with Barcelona. I was not a hater, but I was disappointed. Laporta and his team mismanaged Barcelona's finances.

Recruiting Dani Olmo became an alternative for Barcelona after they failed to get Nico Williams, but the ease they found in recruiting Dani Olmo was actually not as easy as registering him now, Barcelona were previously too confident about their finances which were starting to stabilize and even Laporta  were arrogant to say if Barcelona has enough money to buy Nico Williams at a high price, but in fact what they say is not in accordance with what is happening now after Barcelona again collided with the existing league regulations, reportedly Dani Olmo cannot be registered as a new Barcelona player Currently because they cannot cover the shortfall in their current financial balance, Barcelona has a shortfall of around 60 million euros and most likely they will have to sell their players to be able to meet this shortfall in near time.

[Iranus]

It seems that the transfer drama about Nico Williams is far from been over. I thought it was over when a key figure in Barca management, Victor Font, said it was impossible to bring in the Spanish winger. Also, the signing of Dani Olmo indicated that Barca has given up on Nico. From the latest news, the young player wants to come to Barca, and Joan Laporta wants to make it happen by all means. And considering the club's financial problems, he is willing to sell players like Julian Araujo, Clement Lenglet, Mikayil Faye, and Vitor Roque to make this deal happen. Hansi Flick wants to build a team that will be able to put up a good fight against the dominance of Real Madrid and players like Nico Williams are good fighters to make that happen.

Perhaps this is just another rumor, Williams said that he wants to stay at Athletic Bilbao to reach the Europa League final with the club and a few days later he says that he has changed his mind. If you believe it, then Barcelona will have to pay about 62m together with taxes, this is a very decent amount considering that Barcelona is in a bad financial situation. There is information from Barcelona that they have set a deadline for Niko, he can give an answer before August 24, after which the offer will not be relevant, although with this deadline, everything is also somehow strange and also looks more like some kind of fiction or rumor.

There is no way Barcelona is paying anyone 62,000,000+ taxes at this moment. Because they simply do not have the money to do so right now. The only way they can afford such a player is by paying the money in installments. But I don’t think any club is actually going to accept any instrument offer when other clubs are going to pay them the money upfront or pay more money for the same player than Barcelona. I also think that this is probably some kind of rumor.


https://www.90min.com/nico-williams-says-yes-barcelona-transfer

Here it says he has agreed to join Barcelona. And I don’t think that’s anything new. The biggest problem is Barcelona not being able to pay the money that his current club is going to ask for. Barcelona definitely cannot trigger the release clause.

[bitgolden]

The three clubs you mentioned above have always being in dominant of the league from season to season apart from last season that Girona came from nowhere to take over the third place from Atletico. Both three teams made good signing and it shows that none of them wants to be left out in the title race.

I don't think we will see much from Girona compared to last season because they have sold their hit man Dovbyk and I don't know how the coach intend going far without him. It is Goin to be an interesting season with surprises as usual.

This should be something that we need to care about, because it's a gambling method that many people use. Think about it, if you bet on all three teams to win every week, then you are going to have many weeks that they don't all three win, but when they do, it's a good return. So, is it smart to bet on all three to win? Will it be smart and profitable? Or would you lose enough that the wins will not be enough?

Usually Real Madrid is fine, you could probably make your money back if you bet on them to win every week, it's hard for them to not win, and could be quite profitable, Barcelona ain't that bad neither but they are definitely worse, but we could probably see them do fine too.

ATM on the other hand is questionable, they could have a season where they are better than Barcelona, or they could have a season where they are worse than Girona, we saw both in the last seasons, so it is not like a shocker to anyone. I believe that we could have some issues and it may not be that simple, we need to handle that part. So all in all, we are going to be required to be very careful if we make that kind of bet, or we could just not make that bet, and just focus on something else when betting.

But it can't be denied that for now the most successful is Madrid. We can see when comparing the costs incurred in the transfer this time Atletico had to spend at least approximately 140 million for Julian Alvarez, Sorloth and Robin Le Normand even though the price was quite a bit actually with the arrival of the players they did at this time. Barcelona had to spend 60 million on Pau Victor and Dani Olmo this time although that is also a price that seems normal for player fees. But if the comparison is with Madrid then obviously Madrid is much more profitable in the transfers they are doing at the moment they spend around 47 million but they get a player of Mbappe's caliber on a free transfer and of course Endrick who they brought in quite expensive although I don't really like his style which seems a little arrogant but I think he can be very reliable especially with his young age at this time.

Yes, when compared in terms of financial expenditure, Real Madrid is much more efficient and effective in this transfer window. El Real managed to get Mbappe for free and only spent a little money to bring in Endrik. What is interesting in my opinion is the breakthrough from Atletico Madrid, Simione is really very ambitious by bringing in young players who have quite impressive experience. Julian Alvarez is the right striker and will make a big contribution to the team. Barcelona also did not remain silent, even though they were hit by a storm of financial crisis, they were still able to get two important players. Olmo is a figure who was able to make a breakthrough with the Spanish National Team at Euro 2024 and his presence is certainly expected to be able to bring El Barca back to being able to compete with their eternal rivals Real Madrid.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have been very progressive and solid in the transfer window. They knotted the appropriate signings and this is really brought development and increase in their all-round performance. The status of both clubs have climbed to become important and growth comes in.

Real Madrid headcoach, Carlo Ancelotti have the winning mindset and inculcate it into the minds of his players becomes simple at his end. He hired the best players in the European football world and they're able to unite together to accomplish their goals.

While Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have the necessities to explore this season, it do comes with planning from the team's board and the players. The new Barcelona coach, Hansi Flick will compete against Carlo Ancelotti and Diego Simeone, let's hope he fits in so well.

Madrid success in recruiting Mbappe for free from PSG was a big surprise, no one expected PSG to lose their most valuable asset for nothing. Madrid bargaining power in every competition is an attraction for every player, so they are willing to leave and do not care about the bonuses offered. We know that in the past Madrid also often suffered big losses, because the players they recruited at high prices failed to meet expectations. However, in this transfer window, it must be admitted that they really succeeded. It is not an easy job to build an ideal squad, although financially many clubs can buy any player.

Barcelona and Atletico are also trying to build the depth of their respective squads, so that in terms of strength they are not far behind Madrid. This time among all the La Liga contestants, it seems that Atletico is the club that spends the most budget in the transfer window, Barcelona cannot do it because they are experiencing a financial crisis. Barcelona management and top brass cannot fulfill all of Hansi Flick wishes, I think this is understandable. Having good squad depth does not guarantee instant success, we have learned from Girona journey last season.

[Jegileman]

Successfully landing Mbappe at Santiago Bernabeu is a major success in Real Madrid's transfer history because he is a player with a high price but was successfully brought in on a free transfer. Real Madrid are very fortunate to have successfully brought in Mbappe because their front line is getting sharper. Atletico have big ambitions after failing to win trophies in recent years, classy players have been brought in to improve their quality.

Real Madrid got to sign Mbappe on free transfer after his contract got expired with PSG. Many would have thought that PSG will be in a big loss but the transfer also saved them some millions of euros that would have been given to Mbappe if his deal was still valid with them. Real Madrid stand at the very good position for the league title alongside Barcelona and Atletico who have also added more good players to their squad and getting prepared for the next season.

Barcelona actually made a surprise in the transfer market, when their ability to bring in new players was doubted due to the Financial Crisis, they actually managed to bring in Dani Olmo from Leipzig. Barcelona will do anything to register their new player, it's just a matter of time, Barcelona will soon register Olmo because Hansi Flick really needs his abilities to add strength to his squad.

Barcelona will not even stop the surprises after signing Dani Olmo, on their list is also Nico Williams which the deal is almost on completion with the player also showing interest in joining Barcelona. After they signed Dani Olmo, I never expected them to have the capacity to sign Nico Williams again but this step, it shows they know what they want and they’ll do anything to get all this players on board by beginning of next season.

This is an old stories of Barcelona.

1. They can't register players

2. Barca activates its lever to try to navigate its terrible financial situation.

3. Barcelona got some money to only avoid their financial problem in short term.

Unfortunately, they still think that they are fine and do not consider their financial problems to be a serious problem that must be resolved quickly

It's a bit hard to understand what Barcelona are going to do with all their problems but they don't think they're fine and are always pushing for expensive players in difficult conditions.
Indeed in this case they still want to raise the rivalry and it must be done when they have comparable strength to Madrid, but with the current conditions where they are still very difficult to minimize finances I think they do not need to force their will because it will only create new problems, as you said, Barcelona's problems when bringing players all always look the same even seem like a template where they have difficulty registering players in the end and they always circumvent this but do not solve the financial problems they face.
