I am not entirely sure if that's true or not. They do actually have some pretty good players at his position, how many midfielders can you play in a game? They already have some players going for that spot and Tchouameni is only one of them, they are lacking a striker though.

It means that if he leaves and sold for a lot of money, they could end up getting a good striker with that money, not that they are lacking money honestly and could be considered good enough, but I bet that they are going to end up being decent on the long run even without him. They need to figure out if he is better with him on the field or without him. Try other midfielders and if they are fine, then no need to keep an expensive player at the bench.

Hopefully, the many jokes about this do not make him mentally disturbed because of course with the price spent there must be a lot of pressure especially this is Real Madrid which can make star players become outcast players.
Now he just needs to focus on recovering and proving himself by playing well when he recovers.

To make him on the right wing is not an easy job because Madrid currently has two good young players there (Valverde and Rodrygo) who even Asensio did not get a place for that position.
But there is a chance when Valverde is pulled back a little according to his original position it might be able to take turns in the wing position with Rodrygo.
Cancelo has now opted for Barcelona but now that Cancelo has left Bayern, the rumors of Davies leaving will be difficult for Madrid as Bayern will definitely keep the player.

Barcelona's financial situation is not good. They are spending enough money to buy players though. However, the Barcelona club is still in financial trouble. Dembele wants higher wages from barcelona. It is probably not possible for barcelona to increase Dembele's wages now. Because Dembele is unable to make any significant contribution to Barcelona's overall performance. And so the Barcelona management will benefit if they make money by selling Dembele. This money they can use to buy any new players.  Perhaps we're going to see Dembele very soon with PSG. It would also be a very good deal for Dembele. Also, with the help of Luis Enrique, Dembele can adapt himself to the PSG squad very quickly.

You're right Sir, Thibaut Courtois his performance is quite good. And yeah he still have chance to play at Real Madrid for three or four years later, he is also still needed at there although there are other goalkeepers but they experience is not comparable with Thibaut Courtois. Actually I also hoped Modric or Kroos could play in the Saudi league, but it seems like that's not going to be happen. Modric already considers Real Madrid his main home and it seems he has no interest joining to Saudi Liga, also Toni Kroos reportedly only want retire at Real Madrid.

As previously rumored, that Vitor Roque will join Barcelona in the 2024 winter window. this player, plays as a center forward. it is very likely that Roque will be Lewandowski's backup. or, maybe Xavi will try to rotate him in several positions. considering that this player is still very young, Xavi can explore his talents and abilities again apart from being a center forward. so, Barcelona doesn't need to think about a second tier player to replace Lewandowski. thus if Vitor Roque has been confirmed to join Barca, Xavi does not always have to play his main squad even though it basically depends on the team they are opposing.

As for Ferran Torres, this player can actually play in various positions. Unfortunately, he has not been able to show a slick performance while in Barcelona's uniform. in the next season if he still remains part of Barca, Ferran Torres will have to prove his worth if he wants to enter Barcelona's main starting eleven.
One more thing, I hope Ansu Fati will return to his original form and play to give his best game. at the very least, it should return to its former performance. thus, maybe Xavi will give a lot of minutes of playing time. the rest, Barcelona has players who are quite competitive. both midfield and defense. so it's only natural that Barcelona has the chance to retain the La Liga trophy for next season.

Barcelona had a great run of form last season. One of the roles behind which was Lewandowski. I hope this season, this team will be able to perform amazingly in both La Liga and Champions League.

I believe Barcelona don't have to look for a pure striker who has the same stature as Lewandowski because after all, Barcelona have basically had a lot of success also with strikers who only have ordinary stature. I mean, it seems that Barcelona very rarely has a striker with a stature like Lewandowski because in fact, previously Barcelona's forwards were Suarez, Messi Neymar who did not have a stature like Lewandowski, right. So yes, I'm sure Barcelona are not concerned about the stature of the player, because so far they also don't have that kind of requirement to bring in players.

Seems too early with predicting Real Madrid goal keeper move to Saudi Arabia teams because he still 31 years old and get chance more than three until four years later. I am expected with Luka Modric and Toni Kroos are the list name Real Madrid player will leave next season and move to Saudi Pro League teams. Usually goals keeper extend until 39 to 40 years old and always has chance get regular position depend with consistent performance or not. Last season, Thibaut Courtois has consistent performance and he wants leaves Real Madrid early for accepting with Saudi Arabia clubs. Real Madrid have good planning in the future with their player composition dominance by young player, Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Bellingham, Federico Valverde and Camavinga are team assets in the future.

It was Carlo Ancelotti's favorite strategy and now it is likely he will implement the reserve option after one of Real Madrid's mainstay strikers, namely Karim Benzema, left the Santiago Bernabeu. Although we know there is an alternative striker on the reserve list but a different level compare to Benzema, and I think it would be very risky if Ancelotti used the same method but at a different level.
It is this problem that is currently try to be overcome, because it is undeniable that the departure of Karim Benzema has quite effect Real Madrid's consistency.

Since we saw Benzema leave Real Madrid at least years into his career some people were thinking other players from Re Madrid can do the same thing and they will leave Real Madrid for Saudi teams or maybe other teams soon when they get old.
Thibaut Courtois is a player who plays for Real Madrid since 2018 and he is now an old player which can make us think he will leave Real Madrid like other old players but recently he said he wants to even get retired from Real Madrid.

Well I would like to tell you that it's a pre-season, but in any case the cycles always come to an end
You need to have a turnover of players, the old glories must be replaced with new talents because otherwise they can't do something against young and aggressive teams
Real Madrid must start a new cycle, rebuild from scratch

@Cryptmuster Barcelona is thinking differently right now. They want the most out of a player for as less money as they can spend. And Usman Dembele is basically not fit for the description. I am also hearing that Barcelona is interested in Cancelo. How can Barcelona even think about him when they are going through a financial instability? And there is no way, Lionel Messi is going to go back to Barcelona. The salary of Lionel Messi was obviously not going to be provided by Barcelona. That was just some rumours spread by the media.

@hahay I personally don’t think he was bad in Barcelona. He was just not best fit with the team because the tactics that Xavi was using, Dembélé could not adapt with that properly in my opinion. And I agree that he will be absolutely alright if he does go to somewhere else.

Which one position still weakness side for Real Madrid? Did you update with current activities window transfer and how much money spent by Real Madrid and Barcelona? Jude Bellingham have quit well performance last season with Dortmund and Real Madrid have many option in midfielder position, exactly Barcelona in difficult position right now because they have loss Dembele and can't signing some player for replacing with empty position. I don't favorite for Real Madrid dominance in La Liga season 2023/24 but with team have solid player get chance become the winner next season.

My prediction if barcelona gonna be dominating La liga until next few years. I think that real madrid is so weak right now. Seeing how bad the result from pre season made me believe if real madrid has low chance to win la liga this season.
Benzema has gone, Modrid and kroos may also leave anytime from the club. I remember when kroos has been rumored to retire from playing football. Modric and kroos are not young anymore. Their performance are not as good as before.

Real madrid looks so weak right now. bellingham and joselu were not solving the problem. Real Madrid has many good midfielders, but their performance after Kroos and Modric leave is uncertain..

waiting for Victor Roque next year is not difficult for Barcelona. I'm sure Xavi can come up with a strategy with the formations used even with the existing players. Lewandowsky is indeed very important on the Barcelona front line. but I still believe that if Xavi lets Lewandowsky rest, Xavi can still use other options. Ferran Torres cannot be a replacement for Lewandowsky. but it looks like Xavi will have a special formation that makes him comfortable playing.

Yes, it is true that all the news that exists in the end one by one is denied by Real Madrid, and also some Real Madrid players seem to welcome the presence of Mbappe if the transfer becomes a reality.
Talking about Flo Perez, he is one of the club owners who I think has a firm attitude to the club he manages, and I think that's one of the reasons why we see Rael Madrid can always be a club that will be feared by many other clubs. He even dared to ban Real Madrid's hardline supporters if they were considered detrimental to the club.

Now that I also think, Real Madrid will never panic if there are other clubs trying to disturb it. We know they are a very smart club and if that happens (there is interference from other clubs) then they will not hesitate to reply more than what they receive. Especially as I said at the beginning, they have a club president who is indiscriminate. FIFA alone he's against. Lol

I think Dembele and Ferran Torres are really lacking if they are made as an option to replace a pure striker like Lewandowski because both of them have pure winger positions and Barcelona really should try to bring in a striker to cover for Lewandowski who also has a tall stature and a pretty good finish. If Barcelona still have to wait for Victor Roque until next year, of course that's long enough, they have to look for him now, whether he's a striker on a free agent or can borrow him first for a season. There are still many ways that Barcelona can do to get a pure striker and of course there are also many players out there who want to join a big team like Barcelona.

Must be acknowledged in the previous three seasons Dembele experienced a decline in performance and last season he was only able to contribute as many as eight goals from a total of 35 matches he was on. But Xavi is still sure and still provides an opportunity for him to improve performance, if he does not leave PSG and survive in Barcelona at least until his contract ended.

But Dembele made the decision to move to PSG and maybe he had another view for his future rather than having to survive in Barcelona. Often injury is a problem that must be faced by coach and Luis Enrique he must try a different approach in the Dembele game scheme to avoid injury.

Of course, this is not a good thing for the Real Madrid squad at the start of this season considering that the Laliga competition is about to start. It's true that as you say on various social media, Arda Guler has become the butt of jokes because of his injury problems. Not a few have compared him to Eden Hazard, who is a player who has not developed at Real Madrid due to constant injuries. Not even a few of them changed Arda Guler's nickname to be like Oziel to be like Eden Hazard.

At first I expected Arda Guler to play in a right wing position like Bale or Asensio because he is left footed 'after Real Madrid signed Mbappe or a pure centre-forward. After that, Real Madrid is just looking for an additional right-back position, Cancelo or Rice James, because Alaba can play in his original left-back position like at Bayern Munich, not Mendy or Camavinga who play in that position, and center. The -back positions are Rudiger and Militao. That way Real Madrid will be the strongest team this season, and of course the Champions League will remain the main target.
