La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Jewan420]

I also think of him as a businessman. He always tries to make profit. We all thought he would sell Vinicius if he had the chance. But finally it was officially announced that Real Madrid has renewed Vinicius contract until 2032. So now I can say with more confidence that Florentino Perez is definitely a businessman. Because he has seen a bright future for Vinicius. If he sells Vinicius now, Real Madrid will be able to make several times more profit based on his performance experience and talent in the future. Finally, Vinicius' dream club is to stay in Real Madrid. Now we just have to wait and see the performance of Madrid.

Perez's decision is purely commercial, he will not sell a star player like Vinicius for a low price. He only had one year left on his contract, so Real Madrid could not have demanded a high price to sell him, but now they have reason to demand a higher price. Although Vinicius is still needed at Real Madrid, leaving Vinicius this season could have been a difficult time in the coming season.

I think Perez will use Vinicius for two more seasons, bring in a good replacement player and sell Vinicius for a high price. If his relationship with Mbappe does not improve, then it could happen in the coming season. If they succeed in the coming season, Vinicius may have the opportunity to play for a few more seasons in Madrid, but if they fail, they may think differently.

This is really hilarious, Barcelona going for Rodri? Wow, now what if it happens Barcelona later have him in their squad? That will be a very big issue for Real Madrid because with what Rodri did in the midfield in the just concluded FIFA world cup I'm afraid Real Madrid is likely to go trophy less this season once again, like why did this deal actually take this long for Real Madrid to finalize, it's unlike them in terms of signing players, let's just wait and see how it goes, because with the competition with the two rival teams I can say Manchester City is about to cash out big from them.

When did Barcelona even develop this interest on Rodri because the club I no that was fascinated on the player was real Madrid, so actually I didn't no they are leaving Rodri for Barcelona, perhaps was it because of having a lot players already on the midfield is the reason why they didn't want to spend more money on the position?. Although let's not just see it that if Barcelona signed him they would become an undefeated team because is possible that even with his appearance in the club real Madrid could still use their squad and get to the top. Barcelona is also a source to Spain performance in the world Cup because I think Rodri will be making it 8 or 9 players that come from Spain national team  in Barcelona.

You'll laugh, but the latest news (at least the one I saw) regarding this transfer is that Barcelona is ready to pay 45 million  
Is this really such a dirty game from them: first agree with the player, make sure the player himself has agreed with City, then wait for leaks and only then make a lowball in the hope that there is no turning back? This is complete nonsense. I don't believe City will sell Rodri to Barcelona for less than Real Madrid offered. I don't think this story is over yet. Rodri is obviously playing his game (if he succeeds, he will double his salary), and apparently deceived Real about his interest, let's see if Barcelona can now deceive City.

I'm not surprised. I know my club really well. I was right about the €50M, but that €5M lower bargain is very necessary as a starting point . Then we move to €50M, €55M. I'm not even sure they can afford €55M, let alone €60M.

I don't know what they're planning, but they can sign him for something closer to the €60M that Madrid is planning to pay if he decides to choose Barcelona over Madrid.

City definitely wants to sell him, but if he prefers Barca, they can negotiate a lower price.

Real Madrid definitely calculated the risks and thought it was not worth it to spend a lot of money on Rodri... he is already over 30 and also a player who is prone to getting injured. What are the chances that he signs for Barca and becomes bedridden for a long time? The chances are so high IMO. Rela Madrid got burnt by the Edin Hazard deal  , I don't think they would want to repeat that sooner.

I can't say Real Madrid will go trophyless but what Barcelona is preparing they are going to give Real Madrid hard time by next coming season, for Rodri to come to Barcelona this shows how ready Barcelona is for next season, this is going to be a challenge for Real Madrid because at first i even thought they will get the player and honestly I don't really know why everything turn out be seeing Rodri in Barcelona.

This is funny you know, so you really think Vinicious was going to leave Real Madrid and go to because they wanted to give him 100% image right? I don't think so, he wanted to stay in Real Madrid but he was putting his self too on the path of money which to me it's 100% worth it. I didn't know why people are saying he wanted Mpape kind of salary, he never wanted that but he wanted the club to appreciate his time and effort his had done which is right.

How much is Mendy earning from the club, how many best season has he got in the club but we don't do all these comparisons because we know Vinicious is right and people don't want him to be right all the time. I still feel the offer is not that lucrative, his agent want him to also stay the club want him else if Vinicious ask for 100% image right, it's worth it if he didn't come as a teenager to the club and I'm sure even the club was afraid that if they agreed the rest of the players will ask for the same thing.

I can't say Real Madrid will go trophyless but what Barcelona is preparing they are going to give Real Madrid hard time by next coming season, for Rodri to come to Barcelona this shows how ready Barcelona is for next season, this is going to be a challenge for Real Madrid because at first i even thought they will get the player and honestly I don't really know why everything turn out be seeing Rodri in Barcelona.

Are you trying to underestimate Real Madrid when the season is not yet to start? Let me tell you what you don’t know mate. The way you see Barcelona are well prepared to give Real Madrid tough time up coming season, that’s how their also get themselves prepare to fight any of their opponents and not only Madrid almost every teams.

That’s why am expecting upcoming competition to be a bit different from last season, football is unpredictable it may happen that Madrid your thinking can find the next season so challenges against Barcelona, might be the one to find the season very easier.

i really wonder what real madrid is going to do this season. the squad is top tier but it lacks synergy and i don't think they made the moves to fix it. The attacking players don't like each other one bit.

Next season, the club Real Madrid cant afford to go trophyless no matter what and it's why they are trying to re equip the team to get more stronger than they were last season. But I have one fundamental thing to say or ask, is the management of Real Madrid. They have plenty work on their desk and with recent news and considerations I'm seeing from the team coupled with the bringing of a fixer like Mourinho, it shows Real Madrid are set to face this season back to back but we will wait and see what will transpire.

From the beginning it seemed that the demand for Rodri's purchase came from the many fans who wanted this player on the other hand, actually if you look at the current condition Madrid still want with their squad.
Rodri presence will indeed be very beneficial because their midfield will be quite solid especially with the Manchester City duo because Bernardo Silva is already in Madrid but on the other hand this will make their midfield accumulate. with the 3-back scheme that has always been the ideal Madrid will not be able to make some players comfortable with his position and this could be a new problem for their squad.

So for now they seem to still be waiting with the same clause even though Barcelona are starting to move to try to seduce Rodri to be at Camp Nou.

there were rumors circulating that he wanted to transfer to Real Madrid but Florentino Perez didn't want to sign him. i suppose it was because of the Ballon d'Or he won over Vini Jr. Otherwise i don't think there's any team that wouldn't want him right now.

IMO, they aren't that serious. Mourinho managed Real Madrid between 2010 - 2013 & he won only three trophies during that time. The trophies are Copa del Rey x1, La Liga x1, Supercopa de España x1. Real Madrid harbors a beautiful dream with Zizou, therefore if they are truly serious about winning trophies, they ought to persuade him to return as the club's manager.

Unfortunately for Real Madrid, Barcelona have not just sat back as well, they have also been very active in the transfer window, Adding strength to their to ensure that they can defend their La Liga title again for the 3rd time, dominate the El Classico and win the Champions League. This moves made by the two top clubs in the Spanish league will definitely improve viewing of the league because many people will be interested to see how these two clubs go back to back from the beginning of the season to the end for who determines to win the Spanish league and which of them will represent most in the Champions League where they've qualified again. The league will soon start again, just 15/16 August 2026, there is a lot of build up of excitement already.

You are right, Mourinho is not the only reason to predict how Real Madrid will perform next season I mean there must be some other reasons such as the players who were brought in also Barcelona as the main competitor must be monitored, because that is the initial mistake, when we are too confident in our own strength without considering the strength of the opponent. Did you watch the Real Madrid and Barcelona friendly match? we can see something from there, even though we know the match is not important but we can see something as a reference.

If Real Madrid could sign him on a short term deal it would be great for the club but I don't think Perez would take that risk. Real Madrid have already signed several players I think that is enough. Mourinho is making a big change to the squad and is preparing for the upcoming season.

The club already had a great team with good players but they were not performing well. Mourinho's main task should be to increase communication between the players on the pitch that is a spirit of mutual cooperation to score goals.

I believe with this Rodri signature most likely to happen, Barcelona will most definitely win the Champions League competition in the next two seasons. If they fail to won it this season, then they will win it next season. Real Madrid though couldn't do too much after that change of mind from Rodri.

Do you think Rodri is some kind of god who can turn any situation around? You’re overestimating him, my friend, by saying that if Rodri is there, Barcelona is sure to win the Champions League. Rodri is indeed a great midfielder, but, you know, Barcelona hasn’t yet signed a replacement for Lewandowski, which will certainly have a major impact on Barcelona’s goal-scoring output. Not to mention, Barcelona’s defense is also weak. So far, we can’t say anything definitive about Rodri’s transfer to Barcelona because everything is still in the works. Although Rodri is closer to joining Barcelona than Real Madrid. Let’s just wait and see how things develop.

[kizilhare]

Celta Vigo has signed Altay Bayındır from Manchester United.
I am not sure if Celta really needed a signing like this.
After all, a goalkeeper is most effective when playing regularly; during his time at Manchester United, Altay guarded the net in only 18 matches in total, spending many games on the bench.
Altay will likely spend a year there on loan and then head back to Türkiye.
I do not think he will get regular playing time at Celta Vigo.

Who knows if he will get more playing time at Celta because he's actually a good keeper who just didn't get the opportunity to show himself and also work on himself. Man UTD have keepers that are good so the chances of Bayindir getting first dibs was hard considering that the 17 appearances he made, he conceded 31 goals which could seem like a bad record to have but I feel that a change of scenery will help him improve.

Although Rodri is closer to joining Barcelona than Real Madrid. Let’s just wait and see how things develop.

At least at City, Rodri was one of Guardiola’s most important players, and Guardiola said that on numerous occasions. After Rodri got injured and missed most of the season, City’s results deteriorated significantly. By the way, he also played a very important role for De la Fuente’s Spain. So I think he will significantly strengthen Barcelona’s midfield and help the attacking players as well.

I think Mourinho understood how important this player was, which is exactly why he wanted to bring him to Real Madrid. But Barcelona handled the situation better, and I think they were very fortunate to get Rodri.

[Tamaperdana]

It's true,, because it's undeniable that Barcelona's defense isn't very good right now. Even though they have a very good attack line, especially after Gordon's arrival, that still won't be enough for them to win a major competition like the Champions League. In La Liga,, I'm sure Barcelona will be able to compete well with their current squad. But in the Champions League,, if Barcelona doesn't improve their defense, they will clearly have a hard time winning. So, yes, Barcelona must improve their defense. Because, in essence, a good defense also clearly determines the success of a team to become even greater. But at this time, I personally don't know whether Barcelona has signed a truly good defender or not. Because, as far as I know, Barcelona has only signed three wingers. So maybe not yet, because it feels a bit bad if Barcelona doesn't bring in good defenders this season.

In my opinion, Barcelona are strengthening their attack, although their defence is already in pretty good shape, with some of the best in the world, such as Cubarsi and Eric García. What’s more, they have excellent prospects from La Masia ready to step up to the first team and take their places. It wouldn’t make sense to make major signings with all those young players ready to step up; they’re experiencing almost a second wave of talent following the one that brought their successes in the early 2010s. This is the spirit of forward planning and of building a team around young players.

Yes,, what you said is true, because currently Barcelona is giving many opportunities to players from the La Masia academy to be promoted to the first team. So, this could clearly have a very positive impact in the long term. But for now, I think buying at least one or two defenders is definitely very necessary for Barcelona. Because I think young players who have just been brought in from the La Masia academy will definitely not immediately provide good performances. Although it is not impossible for them to play well immediately, but at least Barcelona must anticipate so that they can perform very well in defense. Because they certainly want to be champions in the Champions League and also in La Liga. So to achieve that, both long-term and short-term prospects must be clearly addressed. So that's why I think bringing in defenders is definitely very necessary for Barcelona right now. But yes, Hansi Flick, maybe he has another way, if he doesn't do this. So we'll see.
