La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[blue Snow]

Barcelona may not even have a chance this season because Real Madrid is going to be coming in hot, given how active they are to the point where they want to even sign new players and how things are improving if everything goes as planned. And I trust Madrid will do what ever it takes to win this season.

Just because Real Madrid has signed a few new players doesn’t mean you should be so certain they’ll win the title this season. Have you forgotten that new players need time to adapt and may not necessarily perform as well as they did at their former clubs? The season hasn’t even started yet, and we can’t be sure how Real Madrid will perform under Mourinho this season. On the other hand, Barcelona, under Hansi Flick, has already gelled with the tactical system they’ve built, so no major changes are needed. This is in contrast to Real Madrid, which must address the poor situation they faced two seasons ago. Therefore, it’s still too early to say who will win the title this season before seeing how the competing teams perform, at least through the first half of the season.

Leaving aside Mbappe's performances, if both would leave Real Madrid for any reason the impact would cause disorientation, but do you think Mourinho doesn't have Plan B?
Do you think a coach with so much experience doesn't also calculate these possible unforeseen events? I really don't think so.
They can happen at any time, for example it could also happen during the Championship that both of them get injured, so what would Real Madrid do?

Vinicius has been at Real Madrid for a long time now, so a possible farewell for him, however painful it may be, could also be expected. As far as Kilian Mbappè is concerned, he is a player who has just arrived and for what he represents, i doubt that Mourinho would want to deprive himself of him but rather build around him.

Before Mourinho coming to Real Madrid, the club was trying over a year to convince Vinicius Junior to sign a new contract but nothing happened. With only a year in his contract, Real Madrid should either sign him or let him go to perceive someone fees. The player also mentioned that he wants Real Madrid to get some money from him.
I am impressed about Perez attitude not to kick him from the club because he has a long history against rebellion inside the club with zero tolerance whoever the player was.

In as much as I agree to this, Vini should be given equal pay to Mbappe which is our thoughts but it's not always the way we see things. We all know that Mbappe was not bought but was gotten on free transfers and their are classed to this. If Real Madrid has bought Mbappe, it would had cost the club more than €180 million, remember that was the amount Real Madrid approached PSG with for Mbappe and the club turned that amount down. Let's assume Real Madrid bought him, he would have cost the club more than €200 million. Here's what clubs do, if a player runs down their contract especially for their sake, the money that should have been used in purchasing them , some percentage is channelled to their wage when they join the club. In Mbappe's case, it's clear that he run down his contract just to come to Real Madrid because we all know that PSG was not going to sell. So it's only natural for Real Madrid to include certain percentage to his wage, that's why his earning highest in the club despite coming in newly. Check most clubs in Europe, they tend to increase the wage of players who join them on free transfers. It my observation though.

You're right, because not having spent money on the player's contract, the club can afford an extra in salary compensation.
Vinicius in my humble opinion does not deserve the same treatment as mbappe due to different characteristics, mbappe adapts to more roles and i personally find it more true, vinicius i find him a guy who doesn't take what he does very seriously.

Marcus Rashford has given his last message today to Barcelona on his return to Manchester United for the new season to work with Michael Carrick.

His words;

“Extremely grateful to everyone at the club for turning my time here into such a positive and unforgettable experience. I’ve loved every moment and will carry those special memories with me.

Wishing the club and all the fans the very best of luck and massive success this season.

Visca el Barça!”.

No clubs have shown interest in Marcus Rashford. He has a future with Manchester United until his contract expires, which he will leave as a free agent to his desired club.

Real Madrid have put an end to all the speculation surrounding Rodri, as they have now made an official bid to Manchester City. The bid, worth 50 million euros, marks the first step in negotiations, and it seems Manchester City will not be too keen to hold on to Rodri, given that he has only one year left on his contract. So I think this could be a win-win solution for all parties, whereby Man City could still generate revenue from that sale, Real Madrid get the player they want, and Rodri could fulfil his dream to return to Spain.

However, it’s reported that Manchester City is currently working to extend Rodri’s contract, which means the club still wants him to stay. Especially given his impressive performance at the World Cup, Manchester City will certainly do everything it can to keep Rodri. However, Manchester City might change its mind if Real Madrid comes in with a higher offer, say, around €80 million.

Before Mourinho coming to Real Madrid, the club was trying over a year to convince Vinicius Junior to sign a new contract but nothing happened. With only a year in his contract, Real Madrid should either sign him or let him go to perceive someone fees. The player also mentioned that he wants Real Madrid to get some money from him.
I am impressed about Perez attitude not to kick him from the club because he has a long history against rebellion inside the club with zero tolerance whoever the player was.

Vinicius's contract with Real Madrid expires next summer, so he still has a whole year to renew, and I think they could do so at any time. Vinicius's position is understandable, he wants to renew his contract now to ensure his demands are taken into account. But on the other hand, if the parties fail to agree on terms, Vinicius will simply leave Real Madrid as a free agent next summer, and I don't think Real Madrid would be happy with that.

Real Madrid have been negotiating a contract extension with Vinicius for a long time, even before Jose Mourinho arrived, but until now there has been no agreement. Real Madrid is still trying to retain Vinicius whose contract expires in 2027, but he is demanding a salary equal to Mbappe's and a large bonus. Real Madrid clearly rejected Vinicius' demands because they were considered to be damaging to the club's salary structure. Now it all depends on Vinicius, if he wants to stay at Real Madrid, then he will have to make sacrifices because Real Madrid's stance is very clear, after all, Perez is also a leader who is known for his "zero tolerance" for rebellion. In his eyes there are no golden children, if players do not comply with what the club wants, then they will be released to another club.

Vinicius really shouldn't demand too much and if he continues to be stubborn like that then it's not impossible that Real Madrid will kick him out because it's true as you said that Perez never prioritizes one of the players if he demands too much, especially a player like Vinicius who is now starting to be questioned a lot because his performance continues to decline so I think Vinicius' future at Real Madrid is still unclear and in fact, according to my belief, he will be pushed out, maybe from being a reliable player or a team.

If an agreement is not reached, separation is inevitable. Real Madrid certainly won't let Vinicius leave for free, after all Arsenal are also involved in the Vini Jr deal, they have also directed all efforts and have been in direct contact with Vini Jr agent and have conveyed their ideas. Vini Jr stance is not to fight the club, he is fighting for his salary and bonuses. Real Madrid wants him to stay, but doesn't want a torn salary structure. He wants to stay but wants to be valued equally to Mbappe. Mourinho is not at all worried if Vini Jr. leaves because he can shift Mbappe to the left wing position, after all, that is his natural position, the money earned from his sale can also be used to recruit a quality striker to maintain the strength of the front line.

[Different patterns]

~snip~

How come Mbappe who has not won a single trophy for the club is still earning more money and more wages than him?

I'm surprised that we're still discussing how Kylian Mbappe is earning more than Vinicius Jr.

Mbappe hasn't won a major trophy for Real Madrid is your metric for measuring how much he should earn but you forgot that a player's salary at a new club is determined by his quality in his former club.

I don't want to compare both players because they're both great players but I honestly do not see why Kylian Mbappe shouldn't earn what he currently gets as Real Madrid

I respect what Mbappe is earning at Madrid because he deserves he's flower, but I would also wish same for Vini Jr, this is because he contributes equally to the teams overall well-being. Vini has one year still remaining in his contract, Real Madrid wouldn't want to gamble their teams stability by selling Vini Jr, so what am thinking will happen is that, hence he wants to renew his contract, I believe wages will be reviewed as well, the new salary will be within the range of what Mbappe is earning.

Real Madrid has two players with a lot of achievements and achievements, so they have to be respected. There has been a lot of criticism about the contracts of the two players at the moment, although Vinicius has requested a salary increase, in which case I think the club will pay attention. Since Vinicius still has a one-year contract, Real Madrid will not sell him, Real Madrid will keep him to keep an important player in the team. If the new salary is made, it is expected to keep it within the range of Mbappe's earnings. However, in any case, Vinicius has a lot more achievements than Mbappe, so it is very necessary to keep a player like Vinicius in the team.

No doubt Vinicius is a good player and he has achieved a lot as a player and he has done so well in the team, but in my opinion I will still need him to put more effort into seeing that the situation of this club is settled. You will see the combination of Olise and Mbappé in the world cup tournament, how incredible they perform and I know that if Vinicius and Mbappé understand themselves so well and work together as one, they will achieve so much more because they have the time to try out new things and also learn from their mistakes that means they have a whole season to fully understands themselves and I think that's why Mourinho is needed too, to bring this thing into reality. He deserves the increment in salary but the team also deserves more efforts from him too.

Vinicius attitude is still unclear. Arsenal want him but Real Madrid want to renew contract, maybe he has some more requirements. If he wants to stay at Real Madrid until next year, he can stay, but I think Vinicius would rather want to renew his contract with Real Madrid than become a free agent. I think Real Madrid will not be happy about this. Vinicius is one of the few players at Real Madrid who have had disciplinary issues in the last two seasons. Although his performance has been better than the previous season, Real Madrid's overall performance is not in a very good position. I have read from an unconfirmed source that he may be negotiating a further salary increase. Perez may not be flexible on this issue, although he has another year and Real Madrid have options.

Vinicius Junior thought he would be pampered to get his contract extension signed; he wanted the team to increase his wages above every other player, maybe because he is an important player in the team; he wanted to be treated with respect so that the team will not value Mbappe above him, because the team is not willing to grant his offers, he wanted leaving.
Only Arsenal looks like a potential buyer for Vinicius Junior, if his agents and Real Madrid couldn't agree on sometghing, they will lose him, but I still think Mourinho will do something to keep the player because the team needs him as they don't have direct replacement yet, although they can improvice since they have good wingers in their bench.

As long as the transfer window remains open, such rumors will inevitably surface. For Real Madrid, team harmony is paramount. If Vinicius is disrupting team harmony, the president can send him away without hesitation. The comparisons to Mbappé have surely already created unrest for the player in Brazil. Recently, rumors have surfaced that he wants his salary equalized with Mbappé's. We'll see what happens, but I believe Mbappé's salary should always be the highest in the team.

Yes, I completely agree with you. Last season we saw that Real Madrid was a very strong team and they had high quality players in their team but they could not do much good on the field. I agree with what you said and I would like to add one comment to you, that is the lack of good relations among themselves but we have seen and many people say that this is why Real Madrid is in such a situation. If Real Madrid can overcome these problems then it is expected that they will be able to do something good. Although it is not possible to say whether Real Madrid will win the title or not but they have enough players to win the title

Having such competition between players is never good for the team. If Vinicius does not get the salary he wants and is kept by Real Madrid, then I think his performance in the coming season will be affected and his relationship with Mbappe will also deteriorate. The talks are not over yet, but in any case, if Vinicius is not happy with the contract in the end, I do not expect good performance from him in the coming season. Either he will have to be released to Arsenal or his salary will be increased according to his wishes, besides I do not see any alternative for Real Madrid. Mourinho may intervene directly in this matter and try to normalize the situation, because he does not yet have a replacement for Vinicius. He has to take steps now.

Everyone knows the quality of the players. Moreover, an experienced and high-quality manager has arrived. With Jose Mourinho, expectations for Real Madrid this year have increased considerably. Looking at the player pool, they are made up of many quality players and young stars. This is part of Real Madrid's plan for the coming years. Looking at Arda, Diomande, Endrick, Huijsen, Asencio, Camavinga, Mastantuono, the oldest player is 23 years old. A frighteningly high-quality squad is coming in a few years. This year, perhaps the Portuguese manager will bring Real Madrid the magnificent era we've been waiting for.

I still don't know why vinicius Junior is not planning to leave real Madrid, he has been in Real Madrid for long just like you said and he has lifted all the trophies that he needs to lift. If his planning to lift the ballon d'Or in Real Madrid then his just deceiving himself because as long as mbappe is in Real Madrid he can never lift the ballon d'Or, the favorite to lift the ballon d'Or will always be mbappé if they are playing together. The best thing for him to do right now is to leave real Madrid and go to Arsenal and try helping them to lift the champions League if he can succeed in doing that his definitely going to lift the ballon d'Or.

[verdinio]

Atletico's problem is not with the players but the match between the scheme and the material the players have. Some Atletico players especially for the moment are used to a slightly faster tempo and an all out attack like Julian, Lookman and players who entered this season Lee Kang In and Grimaldo but sometimes their formation and attack scheme does not support it when if they can take advantage of the advantages of their striker's posture and technique they should be better because their current strikers are quite flexible when there is Julian and Lookman who have above average technique especially for speed problems and Sorloth effective.

The arrival of Lee Kang In in midfield is expected to make the flow of the ball and the creativity of the midfield better but I think this is still lacking because they still need at least one player who can make their midfield strong in terms of duel and they need a strong figure as a defensive midfielder here.

In reality, this year i have seen an important change regarding Atletico Madrid. it has always been a purely defensive team that played counterattacks, while this year i have seen a different and above all unexpected development in the game, which has made the football played more pleasant to watch.

Do you know that the endorsement deals that Vinicious is bringing to Real Madrid is where they pay him his salary? The club see him as along deal to the club and they can't do without him, forget about what you are seeing on the media. If he goes to another club, they are going to lose some of his image right which means they are not going to earn from his right anymore and they are going to be paying a new player they buy to replace him, probably Diomande.

The club has announced that Vinicious is going to stay, he is not going anywhere this season and he was sighted training with the players and the fact that Diomande deal has not been closed with his former club, it means that Real Madrid has decided to keep Vinicious for now for left wing. There is no use to sign Diomande when Vinicious will play that side.
