La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Catenaccio]

We have already seen some news about adding Nico Williams to the squad. Barcelona management is probably going to sign a 6-year contract. Barcelona is in financial crisis. Joan Laporta is continuing to try to raise money. Barcelona will probably have to spend around 60 million for Nico WIlliams.

It is rumor and already appeared last summer after Yamal and Williams won Euro title with their Spanish national team by having excellent performances and considerable contributions for Spain in that tournament. No doubt about their good understanding about each other, and great combination with each other, but in general, it is risky transfer for Barcelona. Cost of Williams is not cheap and Barcelona must take it into account very deeply when their finance has been very terrible and at verge of collapse recent years.

We know that Yamal and Nico Williams are good friends. And maybe that is why Barcelona is very interested in adding Williams to the squad. Also, Barcelona will not get Lewandowski with the squad for a long time. Lewa is now almost 37 years old and Lewa's contract with Barcelona is going to end next season. So Nico is being added to the squad as a replacement for Lewandowski

They combined excellently in Spanish team and can repeat it if playing together for a same club. I don't think Barcelona actually have urgent need of buying Williams while their squad has more problems and positions need to be replaced like a striker position and defensive positions.

I read that Sørloth wants to leave Atletico Madrid because of not having enough amount of playing time recently. Is this really correct? 

I mean yeah Alvarez is Simeone's first choice. He was in a really solid shape last season. However Sørloth still scored more goals than him in the league at the end.

If he decides to leave for real then I have no doubt there would be big teams after him in a short time...

Yes, it is natural for Sourlot to say that, because currently he does not have the playing time that is really worthy of a player as great as him. Simeone should give him enough playing minutes and should be made as the starting XI, because it is proven that Sorloth can be said to be much sharper than Griezman and also Julian Alvarez. So Simeone should not be selfish and should pay more attention to Sorloth. Because in the first match in the World Cup between clubs, Sorloth only played 20 minutes, and of course that can be said to be very little playing minutes for Sorloth.

That is why Sorloth is currently giving a warning to Atletico Madrid, if for example he is not made as the starting XI in the next matches, he will have to move to another team. In my opinion, Atletico Madrid should not underestimate the threat expressed by Sorloth. Because if for example Sorloth leaves Atletico Madrid, I think Atletico Madrid will be at a great loss because they lose their best striker.



In addition, Atletico Madrid's first match in the Club World Cup was truly surprising, because Atletico Madrid had to be willing to be defeated by PSG with a very convincing score of 4-0.

What happened in Pasadena was more than a defeat. It's the universe showing the stubbornness of Atletico to the world. The case of Sorloth is classic Atleti. They spend money, bring a known goal-scorer, and then freeze him since he does not press enough or fit the family values. Yet football is not all about running. It is about goals, confidence, moments. Right now, the stats of Sorloth are shouting for him to play, and the fact that he is getting ignored? That has to mess with the whole squad’s morale

If Simeone continue on this, then Sorloth will seek for an exit. And there is already a list of Premier League clubs waiting for him. Atleti will loss money (again), the supporters will be angry, and the following season we will be debating the same problem with a new signing. The victory of PSG was not a matter of talent, but a matter of making the best out of what you have. Enrique gathered all those people and united them. Atleti, however, are living in the past. Without any changes, the same collapse will continue to play in the loop, with or without Sorloth

It seems almost certain now that Nico Williams will transfer to Barcelona. We're just waiting for the official announcement. Nico himself had already said that he would either play for Barca or stay at Athletic Bilbao. He wants Barca and Barca players and management want him. Some of the players are very close friends with him. From the posts by Yamal and Raphinha, it's clear how much they want him there. We've been waiting for this transfer to happen for a long time, it should be completed soon.

Since last season Nico Williams wanted to play with Barcelona but Barcelona's financial problems have not been able to buy him at a high price.
Nico Williams has said his interest in playing in Barcelona and Yamal is a strong reason for him because the two are very close friends and also in the Spanish national team they both play quite well.
In terms of quality, no one doubts Nico Williams and his duet with Yamal will be a very strong young player duet for the opposing team.

His teammates in the Spanish national team played more in Barcelona so Nico Williams was interested in playing there. But with such an expensive price given by his current club, it might be a little more difficult for Barcelona to recruit Nico Williams. He does have good quality as a winger and this will be an additional strength when Barcelona succeeds in recruiting him.

[Just Say]

Maybe Real Madrid are fully prepared because we can see that they have bought an Argentine right winger, maybe he will be able to show off his left foot. To be honest most of the Argentine players from River Plate are moving on to good positions in different leagues one of the things we can say is that Real Madrid has recently added an Argentine player, before Franco Mastantuono agreement became valid, then it seemed that this rumor could never be true because it was proven that Argentine players only get very few opportunities in this Spanish team. I saw on the news that before that, Enjo Fernandez from River Plate had moved to the English Premier League and another of their teammates has moved to Manchester City.

Real Madrid are fully prepared for the next season. And now they are planning for the long term. Madrid's performance this season was erratic due to a weak defense. Mainly because of several defenders getting injured, Madrid's performance was erratic. To strengthen the defense, Madrid has added Alexander Arnold and Dean Huijsen to the squad. Now Madrid's squad has 11 defenders. So even if some defenders get injured next season, Madrid has enough backup.

Franco Mastantuono, Arda Guller and Endrick are being added to the Madrid squad for the long term plan. These three players are not yet able to perform properly. But they are potential players. We will see the change in their performance in the next few seasons along with the Madrid squad. When they become experienced enough, they will become key players in the Madrid squad.

Your information is significant given that Real Madrid Football Club is now full of recognized defenders to be honest last season Real Madrid's defense was probably an easy target for every team because they would have been able to easily defeat Real Madrid at that location. So perhaps the most experienced club in football in recent times has taken this step, meaning they have been able to fill their team with defenders, meaning they have been able to create enough backups. I think that Real Madrid has been able to take a step forward by signing Franco Mastatuono, Arda Guler and the Brazilian Endrick because they might be able to become a proper player in the future with the utmost affection of Javi Alonso.

No doubt, the price of Nico Williams is too expensive, and as you mentioned, he also has the interest of playing for Barcelona. We all saw how well he played in the Nations League, and even though his current club has placed a high price on him, Barcelona might still be able to buy him.

We all know it would be a great achievement for them, as Nico Williams is a very good winger. We’ve also seen how well they played with the young player, Yamal.

Let’s see what will happen, whether Barcelona will be able to pay that much to sign Nico Williams or not.

The desire of a player is very strong to be able to join Barcelona so that no other team makes a maneuver for this transfer.

Overall I quite support Nico Williams to immediately join Barcelona, ​​this will benefit both of them because Barcelona will get a big impact from the contribution given by Nico Williams while the player himself is likely to develop his career with Barcelona.

And for the quality of Nico Williams, no one doubts, he has proven it with Bilbao and also with the national team, his age is still very young so this will be a very good investment for Barcelona in the future.

Barcelona last season also really wanted Nico Williams. And yes Nico Williams also wants the same thing. But the club's financial constraints have meant that Barcelona has not been able to bring in Nico. But I'm sure many will agree if Barcelona tries to bring in Nico. But until now everyone is still doubtful about whether Barcelona will be able to sign him or not. It's just that if Nico can play well in the Barcelona squad then this team will once again be difficult to stop on the field. But with Nico Williams' price being quite high, it won't be easy for that to happen. But if that happens then it will be very beautiful and very good for Barcelona.

And the latest development that I read is that Barcelona has reportedly succeeded in making an agreement with Nico Williams. But I'm still not sure whether it's true or not. but I think because the player also really wants to go to Barcelona then that could be true.

but from some rumors, it is said that barcelona has completed a personal agreement with nico williams. it is reported that nico williams has agreed to sign a six-year contract at camp nou until the summer of 2031, with an expected salary of €12 million a season if his move to barcelona is completed. but this is still uncertain because barcelona needs to pay nico williams' €60 million release clause. this is a clause that is quite burdensome for barcelona, considering their unstable financial condition. but with gradual payments, it is likely that barcelona can bring in this young winger.

I'd not take Nico's personal agreement with Barcelona. It's really important to have their deal with Bilbao to be completed first. It's because Bilbao's approval will become Nico's door to join in Barcelona.

I'm only wondering about how can they afford Nico? They almost unable to register their players this season. They have not yet sold their players too. It sounds impossible to pay 60 million to Bilbao for Nico this time.
They may able to sell everything they have to sign Nico, but La Liga rules obviously prevented them to do that. They have also less revenue, which can't be used to buy player without selling their players first. They can only wait for the sponsorship money from Nike or Spotify. That's the only chance.

I know that Barcelona last season wanted to add Nico Williams to their squad after the wonderful combination with him, Yamal and Olmo which led to Spain victory in the UEFA Euro last year. However, Spain didn't consider their financial issues and wanted Nico Williams, but he told them he is not ready till the end of this season. Olmo was signed without payment and that prevented Barcelona from recording his name as Barcelona player, till when they sorted it out.

Imao whether or not Nico William is in Barcelona is actually not really needed. Just look at the current Barcelona squad, they look good and have managed to show better quality. Nico should have accepted the offer last season but he didn't and now Barcelona can still compete and is still a strong team. Some people see Nico because he played in the national team so his cooperation with Yamal wants to be seen in Barcelona too. That's the only reason people want him to move, while forgetting yesterday Spain played badly against Portugal.

It's obvious Barcelona are very keen to getting the 22 years old Spanish winger to their camp. Unfortunately, their financial situation has made this deal unattainable right from last season till now. €58M release by Athletico seems fair enough with the form and age of Nico.

However, in other news, Barcelona are simultaneously making a move for both Nico and,  Luis Diaz with a transfer fee of €92M for Luis as given by Liverpool. Base on cost effect here. I think Barcelona should just focus on getting Nico deal done because their financial stand is going to be an impediment on signing both players at a time. He's a quality winger.

I also can't understand when Barcelona still continues to experience problems like that last season and may still feel it this season so that it is always difficult to recruit the players they want. Even though the composition of Barcelona's players last season was also extraordinary and they only need to play as well as possible next season so that Barcelona can slowly erase that problem from themselves. But if that problem continues to occur at Barcelona, ​​the team will potentially experience difficulties in the UCL competition and also La Liga next season.

They have had financial problems in the last few seasons and to fix it is not easy but I do not think too much because now Barcelona has found its best performance even last season they managed to win the La Liga title with many talented young players in their squad meaning they are on the way to gradually solve this problem so I think it only takes time for Barcelona management to solve this.

About Nico Williams who is very close to Barcelona this season, I do not doubt that because since last season the problem was the transfer fee but the agreement between the two has been established so we just have to wait for the official announcement.
And I am quite sure that Nico Williams will give a big influence/contribution to the Barcelona team if he joins, I am really looking forward to it.

Only wondering what kind of payment method Barcelona uses to sign Nico. They're bad financially, yet have also to comply with La Liga's ffp rules. Impossible to sign him without selling their player. Don't wanna see Nico to end in the same way as Olmo. They can buy, but unable to register.
It's also impossible to offer Bilbao to pay Nico in some installments. It seems they're gonna sell more shares.

Yes, you are right, financial constraints are the number one reason why Nico has not been brought in by Barcelona until now. Because it is undeniable that if Barcelona brings in Nico, for the current financial situation, it will certainly feel quite heavy. But I personally do not know for sure how Barcelona's financial situation is now, whether it has improved a little or is still the same as before. But Barcelona's financial situation should have improved a little, because last season Barcelona was able to get 3 domestic trophies in La Liga and I am sure that this will have a significant impact on Barcelona's financial situation. So with this, Barcelona should have the funds now to bring in Nico, although of course Barcelona must make a small offer to Bilbao. But I think Barcelona must try it. Because if Barcelona can bring in Nico, I am sure they will be unbeatable in La Liga. Because the combination of Yamal and Nico will certainly be a very extraordinary combination. But even so, the point is that we must first see how Barcelona will carry out the process for Nico William.

Generally Barcelona uses several ways to pass the regulations. The first one is by dividing the price in several years, add ons and bonuses, the second is to force some players to reduce their wages and the third option is to sacrifice players with high budgets that their performance aren't that top anymore.
Now for Nico, if Barcelona wants to take a player they will do it and they will keep doing their gymnastics to register him, until they resolve their budget problems.

Madrid decision on this bold step is time overdue for me, Realmdrid defense was a mess last season so what they heve done is identifying a problem and making sure that they solve solve it to avoid reoccurrence of what happened to them last season, Despite that Madrid finished in the second position at the end of the last season laliga competition, Realmdrid conceived a lot and who knows if their defense was backed with the new defenders as you mentioned may be the would have not been either defeated in some match or even conceived at all,  I think this is the best approach the have come up with in preparation for the next season, xabi Alonso team may be coming  very strong next season but lets see how things will go by then.

You maybe correct but for me I don't think the reason why Barcelona wants Nico William was because of the national league appearance and not also because they want  Nico William and Lamine Yamal to play together but I think they need Nico William because he is an amazing player and he doesn't only contributed to the national league but he also do contributed to their domestic league and I think he is even one of the best if not the best in his club and again the fact that Barcelona has a good squad doesn't mean they don't need other players, off cause they need replacement in case of emergency and so I don't see anything wrong with that but they should not over hyped the guy before he starts dropping form.
