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.

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.

Yes, it is possible, but something that we are question this time is his performance that some people think is not optimal. And regarding options, it's not a big problem if Ancelotti apply a 4-3-3 formation in the future. Because in some matches coach Ancelotti has seen use Rodrygo as a center forward when playing with a 4-3-3 while the wing positions are occupied by Vinícius and Federico Valverde (he is trusted as a wing in certain situations)

With the presence of dangerous frontlines, Vinicius Júnior, Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz, they're 100% ready for the new season. Real Madrid is an elite club that functions mostly on the basis of its ratings and spectacular performance. The players have prior expertise and are capable of managing challenging circumstances under pressure. The 4-3-3 formation will undoubtedly assist players improve their game; after all, the club pattern is versatile, permitting them to play in any position. Carlo Ancelotti may utilize whatever formation he wants as long as it results in solid winning results.

Actually, the 4-3-3 formation option is good enough to strengthen Real madrid because every player is also familiar with Ancelotti favorite formation and this reliable coach chosen formation will give Vinicius more freedom to always get opportunities to score when there are few opportunities. .
I really admire Ancelotti current strategy and it seems that the main players currently being used are quite convincing because Vinicius is one of the players with good quality and is strengthened by the presence of Rodrygo.
I think the coming season will be an opportunity for Real Madrid to make up for last season failures.

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.

There is no striker transfer yet for Barcelona. I know they have Lewandowski already but I mean a backup player for him. If they want to play bigger this season they need to strengthen some positions first. Increasing the number of players for a position is always an important precaution.

There is no guarantee for Lewandowski like he will be able to play in every single match in a season. He can get injury or suspended. You know Lewandowski hasn't been shown a red card for years but he put an end to it after joining Barcelona. Things can get harder about scoring goals in his absence if they don't have a natural striker in the substitutes.

Barcelona has several young strikers such as Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres, indeed they cannot promise to be competitive but I think that is enough to cover Lewandowski who is definitely a mainstay of Barcelona on the front lines.
However, with Dembele leaving for PSG, the strength of Barcelona's current front line has diminished, I think Barcelona must bring in new players in the transfer market this summer to replace the position left by Dembele, moreover Barcelona have fresh funds due to Dembele's transfer to PSG.

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.

Actually for me Dembele was good enough to cover Lewandowski and it was proven in the last few matches against Real Madrid that Dembele was able to contribute 1 score and even Lewandowaki couldn't make a good contribution at that time.
But I understand maybe someone is still judging that Dembele doesn't have the same talent as senior players like Lewandowski but this is just the beginning because the real matches haven't started yet and we can see that Barcelona will still use Dembele to cover in every Lewandowski game and wait until the end of the season after that there will be another reform.

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..

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

Barcelona expected more from Dembele. But Dembele failed to live up to Barcelona's expectations. The team did not perform very well against Barcelona. Dembele has been playing with Barcelona for 6 seasons. In 6 seasons he played only 127 matches in La Liga. And scoring only 24. And so Barcelona are unwilling to increase Dembele's wages to keep him with the squad. If Dembele does not ask for an increase in wages, Barcelona will probably keep Dembele in the squad.
However, Barcelona could make a smart amount of money by selling Dembele to PSG. Barcelona spent 135 million to sign Dembele. But they don't get better performance than Dembele. Dembele was a loss project for Barcelona. However, it is not yet clear how much money PSG are willing to spend on Dembele.

According to what the Lequipe journalists write, the transfer amount will be 50 million, and Dembele will receive a salary increase at PSG. And if nothing changes, then Dembele may be officially announced as a PSG player tomorrow, August 7th. Even if Dembele did not live up to Barcelona's expectations, they would still like to keep him in the team, but due to financial instability, they cannot do this. By the way, for the same reason, Messi did not back to Barcelona...

Anyway, Dembele will still be fine if he leaves Barcelona, or maybe Dembele can develop even better in another club because maybe playing at Barcelona is maybe Dembele get more high pressure. Because Barcelona condition is also not completely good so yes, it would be better for players with big fees, maybe it would be better for some of them to be sold. At least, to restore Barcelona finances as well and over time they will at least be able to get what they want if they succeed from time to time.

@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.

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.

The forward position is a much-discussed job for Real Madrid at the moment. And it's like we're doubting their current signings, but that's not what we mean, but when we haven't seen them yet then doubts are understandable.
The transfer window is still open, and it's not impossible that they'll surprise us and bring in a player they've been eyeing. The transfer tussle is still going on, and there's always a final move that kicks the table and maybe a record is broken, we'll see.
It's things like this that I actually always look forward to, because it's like a party at the end of the transfer window.

As long as Florentino Perez remains President of Real Madrid, the seemingly impossible can happen. I have no doubts about Perez strategy in lobbying his target players to join Los Blancos, even if it's Mbappae. But what's interesting right now is that his ambition to recruit Mbappe will backfire for the Madrid squad. My point is that it is possible that the PSG management will tempt Madrid players to leave with them as a form of revenge for Perez strategy.

Various rumors surfaced, most recently it was reported that Perez would resign from the post of President of Madrid. However, this issue was immediately denied by Real Madrid, is this part of PSG resistance? I don't know exactly either.

I don't think that's true because according to various interview sources from Vini, Rodrygo, or even the current Real Madrid captain, Nacho, would be very happy if Mbappe could join Real Madrid. All Real Madrid players are well aware of what they feel is lacking in their current squad and Mbappe's arrival will certainly make it easier for all the desired targets including winning every game. It is true that there were rumors that Florentino Perez would resign from his post, but yesterday Real Madrid immediately issued a statement via their social media accounts to refute this fake news.

PSG will never be able to make Real Madrid panic and instead seeing PSG's behavior now really want to sell Mbappe, of course they are the ones who are actually panicking about the situation they are currently facing. PSG are well aware that only Real Madrid can save them from the losses incurred by Mbappe. So I think PSG's resistance is just a joke. Roll Eyes

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 agree about Dembele. He hasn't been able to satisfy the expectations and I think it is a good thing that PSG are signing him by activating his release clause. I don't even know why Xavi was still satisfied with his performance. While he isn't able to play even in the most part of the season what is it you see anyway?

Now it is time for PSG to deal with Dembele's being injury-prone. Neymar and Dembele have the same characteristics on this topic so they had better hope not to face serious problems about it this season.

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.

There are some things that are quite interesting to see the news in a headline saying that with this knee injury Arda Guller who was predicted to be the next Messi instead turned into the next Hazard.

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.

Quote

This is clearly disturbing even though he has good potential but injuries can greatly hamper especially knee injuries like this sometimes need a long recovery and recurrent injuries that always come.
Hopefully his performance does not decline too drastically although it will definitely take time but if this is in Madrid then when in the end after the injury he did not return to appear then it was finished for Arda Guller.

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.

Atletico Madrid are entering their last season with Simeone at least for now. It has been a journey of 12 years with him so far and they have won quite many titles with him in the past as well. It is like Simeone has had his whole career in Europe at Atletico Madrid if we don't count the short time period of being Catania's manager.

However it might really be coming to an end now. Because he can't meet the expectations in the recent times. Atletico Madrid's performance in the Champions League was really horrible last season. But especially the La Liga performance is the important point here. They couldn't become a part of the title race in the recent a couple of years. This squad is solid enough to keep consistency. Simeone will be expected to improve that the most.

12 years isn't short journey for Simeone that he has successfully to bringing Atletico Madrid to being an strong team in Laliga and for sure he did that without spending huge money to build the team because we all know Atletico Madrid isn't rich team however last time Simeone was extended his contract at 2021 and next season indeed could be his last year in this team because Simeone contract will be expired on June 2024 and last season Atletico Madrid didn't give him high target that they only targetting him champion league zone which mean if Simeone can able to acvieve that target then Atletico Madrid will give him contract extension and indeed until now there was no negotiation between him and Atletico Madrid about new contract but some people believe his position will be save and he will gets new contract soon

If they had transferred enough quality players to Simeone, they could have made the team champion again. Or he could have always finished high in the league. It's a bit about the fact that financial opportunities are not equal in every club. I think Simeone is a very successful coach. Besides, it is not easy to serve a club for so many years. They had their last contract in 2021. If the management is going to renew the contract that will expire next year, they should also allow the team to make a successful transfer during the transfer season.

If a football club management wants success, it has to make financial sacrifices. Yes, I admit that other teams have a lot of financial strength, but Atletico Madrid has shown before that they can compete with these teams.

I think his tactics were just unable to keep up with the modern times. Atletico Madrid is basically stuck in a standstill right now. They are just not improving. Of course 100% of the blame does not go to the coach. but in this case, the coach does have to take a lot of responsibility for this type of performance.

And I absolutely agree that the squad is not very bad. They can still do a very decent job. But without proper tactics, they are not going to be able to compete against the best of the best which is exactly what is happening right now with Atletico Madrid. I think a change of authority is going to bring necessary changes in the club which is eventually going to be positive. But Atletico Madrid better not downgrade like Chelsea did.

Tchouameni is rumoured with some teams this summer but I don't expect him to go anywhere already now. Real Madrid think of him as a part of their future and we can understand this from his contract as well. Besides he played in most of the games in the La Liga in the previous season. He isn't an unnecessary player for the team now.

While Real Madrid are trying to make their midfield younger and credible they wouldn't give up on any of their young talents at the moment.

Aurélien Tchouameni is an experienced player who knows how to capitalize on his opponents' tackle circumstances with calculated defensive game pieces. Tchouameni is a significant player for the club, which is a key project under Carlo Ancelotti. The Frenchman has no ambitions to leave the Santiago Bernabeu this season, unless Los Blancos activate his sell-out clause. He's important for the club at the present time, and he has an opportunity to be a part of the club's future; the same can be said for Eduardo Camavinga, who is giving everything he has for the team.

Tchouameni is crucial to the team. His potential is well-known, especially his ability to deploy calculated defensive game pieces to exploit his opponents' tackles. You know, these terms describe his importance. Due to recent speculations and gossip, something awful happened to him. Since he can't compete with other club players, he may not start and may be considering his options. Some clubs can start talking to him, but he wants to stay with Real Madrid unless they activate his sell-out clause. This could be complex and hard to understand.

Dembele has been playing with Barcelona for 6 seasons. In 6 seasons he played only 127 matches in La Liga. And scoring only 24. And so Barcelona are unwilling to increase Dembele's wages to keep him with the squad. If Dembele does not ask for an increase in wages, Barcelona will probably keep Dembele in the squad.
However, Barcelona could make a smart amount of money by selling Dembele to PSG. Barcelona spent 135 million to sign Dembele. But they don't get better performance than Dembele. Dembele was a loss project for Barcelona. However, it is not yet clear how much money PSG are willing to spend on Dembele.

According to what the Lequipe journalists write, the transfer amount will be 50 million, and Dembele will receive a salary increase at PSG. And if nothing changes, then Dembele may be officially announced as a PSG player tomorrow, August 7th. Even if Dembele did not live up to Barcelona's expectations, they would still like to keep him in the team, but due to financial instability, they cannot do this. By the way, for the same reason, Messi did not back to Barcelona...

Even if he doesn't play well with Barcelona, Dembele has the potential to perform well in Ligue 1. PSG coach Luis Enrique is quite experienced. And the important thing is that he is completely new to the PSG team. He will work with this team anew. At the same time, Luis Enrique will probably bring several more changes to the team. Because of this it will be a bit easier for Dembele to adapt to psg's players. Moreover, Ligue 1 teams are slightly weaker than La Liga teams. This is why it will be easy for dembele to perform well. We may soon see Dembele in a PSG jersey. However, this agreement is repeatedly delayed.

Salary increase is key for Dembele's decision but maybe he also wants to play at his homeland too. I am keen on salary increase as his main reason to leave Barcelona.

Anyway, Dembele will still be fine if he leaves Barcelona, or maybe Dembele can develop even better in another club because maybe playing at Barcelona is maybe Dembele get more high pressure. Because Barcelona condition is also not completely good so yes, it would be better for players with big fees, maybe it would be better for some of them to be sold. At least, to restore Barcelona finances as well and over time they will at least be able to get what they want if they succeed from time to time.

Dembele had some bad seasons in Barcelona and he only improved in the last two seasons with Xavi. Now when his value is better and he got a good offer from PSG, he decided to leave. I don't call his decision is bad because I see Barcelona can not ask for loyalty from Dembele. He is not their home-grown player so loyalty is something they can not have with Dembele. As a player, it's fine if Dembele is attractive by better salary as his career is not too long just like other players.
