I think it's quite difficult for Barcelona. They do need a pretty tough defender right now and they haven't fixed the problem with Pique at the moment but €60m for Kounde is a pretty high price for them.
Sevilla will not issue Kunde at a discount now especially he is a young player who is quite good at guarding the back line. I think it will be difficult for Barcelona with the financial condition and the number of players they want.

I am reading quite frequently that Barcelona is having financial problem but on other hand they are investing big amounts very drastically for strengthening their squad for next season and challenge of Real Madrid which is currently La Liga and Champions League titleholders.

For Kounde €60m and for Lewandowski €50m are very high amounts, but they are trying their best for achieving their targets before end of this summer transfer window because they already faced some big problems in last season and still able to end on high note with now going through for better results in this coming season. With the arrival of Kounde and Lewandowski, surely their problems are going to fix, and they are going to have ideal result for next season.

Real Madrid is not only fighting for the title, the luck factor is also on Real Madrid side, because Atletico Madrid and Barcelona played far below the standard (without excluding Sevilla). Other teams are not without fighting for the title, due to their lack of consistency in every game, they are far behind Real Madrid. Barcelona is very active in the transfer market, after receiving an injection of funds from the sale of Licensing and Merchandising shares, they were able to buy several players to strengthen the squad in the new season. In the following season, Real Madrid will face obstacles from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid to win the La Liga title.

Barcelona has been a competitor to Real Madrid and other top teams since last season. Although the Barcelona squad was not promising enough, Xavi managed to change the form of his team's game play much better even though he only relied on free transfer and loan players such as Aubameyang, Traure and Alves. Of course if Xavi managed to bring the competition last season then next season he will most likely get better competition especially if Barcelona have new energy from the players they signed.

Even though Real Madrid is still the best in Laliga, so I'm sure that little by little Barcelona will again become the toughest competitor for Real Madrid. It was only a matter of time before Barcelona finally came out of bad financial trouble.

Barcelona is going to improve. I think the improvement started since when Xavi came as the coach of Barcelona. I don't think they will be able to improve so much that they might give Real Madrid a really good fight. I think they will be able to at least finish in the second position in la Liga. But if Barcelona are able to get Robert Lewandowski in the team I think they will have a good chance of having better performance and that that point I will probably also consider them a tougher opponent for Real Madrid.

Chelsea has been in direct contact with Sevila and Kounde's agents since the previous transfer failure last season, when Kounde skipped training for after his release clause was increased last minute in an attempt to keep him at the club.

Personal terms were agreed upon with Chelsea a few weeks ago, and it's only a matter of time before Chelsea submit an official bid for him. He wants to join Chelsea, and the Barcelona deal is just a rumor because they don't have the financial capability to pay such a high fee for a player right now, as they're still struggling to register Andre Christiansen. Let's see how the drama plays out.

Chelsea will definitely get him, but at what cost? I mean I do not get why people think that it would be a lot more logical to get Kounde like this, and he does worth a good chunk of money according to transfermarkt, and there are teams that willing to pay for him, but I believe he is just too young to worth this much, he hasn't proven himself in a big club so far to justify that much money.

Usually when you pay someone over 50 million, you want to see them do good things on a club that is at a high level. It is not just about Barcelona not being able to afford it, they shouldn't have been able to afford Torres neither but they somehow got him, it is about Kounde being overvalued.

So, I actually don't think it is going to be much of a competition between them and Real Madrid. I hope that it will not be as one-sided as it was the last season. That I am not going to be surprised if it is. It doesn't look like Barcelona is going to be able to get Robert Lewandowski.

I agree with you. Only Real Madrid fought for the title last season. Sevilla, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona were far behind than Real Madrid. But next season will not be like that. Barcelona is increasing their strength. Although Barcelona is not financially stable now, they are spending enough money to strengthen the team.

Real Madrid is not only fighting for the title, the luck factor is also on Real Madrid side, because Atletico Madrid and Barcelona played far below the standard (without excluding Sevilla). Other teams are not without fighting for the title, due to their lack of consistency in every game, they are far behind Real Madrid.

Real Madrid is always unstoppable in the race for the BBVA league title in every season where they are very difficult to beat in the domestic league title race but for next season I am sure that the rivals Atletico Madrid and Barcelona will provide tough competition for real Madrid because we know this season then Barcelona experienced a financial crisis that was so extraordinary that it made them lose in the title race as well as Atletico Madrid who performed less consistently so that they were unable to provide an effective resistance to their city team Real Madrid

I thought that only Chelsea were after signing Sevilla defender Kounde. Barcelona also seem interested to sign him now however they aren't very eager to pay the asking fee like 60 million euros. Barcelona aren't financially stable as we all know and they don't have an option to spend a lot of money now. They are targeting a few players these days and they want to finish these deals or at least some of them for as low price as possible. Considering that I think Barcelona will fail in signing Kounde and Chelsea will stay one step ahead of them.

I think it's quite difficult for Barcelona. They do need a pretty tough defender right now and they haven't fixed the problem with Pique at the moment but €60m for Kounde is a pretty high price for them.
Sevilla will not issue Kunde at a discount now especially he is a young player who is quite good at guarding the back line. I think it will be difficult for Barcelona with the financial condition and the number of players they want.

Memphis Depay's condition in the team must be still not very clear. He was rumoured to be sold in the summer but he is still keeping his presence in the team now. I think that it depends on whether Barcelona sign a centre-forward before the transfer window finishes up. Lewandowski might be Barcelona's only target for the position now but I'm saying this according to the news have come out until now. They must be hopeful about this transfer as he is still willing to leave the team. I wish they sign Lewandowski and then they would try to increase some funds again by selling Depay. He joined the team on a free transfer before so it would be profitable for Barcelona.

Memphis Depay is not in any kind of certainty about what is going to happen with him in this team. Right now Barcelona is obviously going to look for profits. I really don't think that selling Memphis Depay is going to be too much of a problem for Barcelona. Right now it might be different because Barcelona did not get Robert Lewandowski yet. If Robert Lewandowski is in Barcelona I think it is really easy for them to sell Memphis Depay.

Of course, Barcelona will add new energy from some of the players that will be brought in this will be a tough competition in LaLiga, I think even though Real Madrid has everything in quality players, I believe Xavi can provide good growth at the start of the season because they are very good optimistic after last season managed to move from adversity so I think this remains a tough competitor for Real Madrid again.
After they get an injection of funds, of course, this club will not feel shaky anymore, they will definitely continue to aggressively improve before and add some opportunities to their team to recover as soon as before.

Real Madrid are in a solid condition now when it comes to winning the La Liga title next season also. But this time can be really different. It is depending on Barcelona's effort though but they don't seem like they will have a problematic start like they had with Koeman. Xavi's plans changed this team in a positive way a lot. I hope to see it continuing because I don't want to see Real Madrid dominating another season. We should be able to see some real competition between the biggest teams of the La Liga.

I think it's a big self-deception to expect a serious fight for the title in La Liga next season, I think the situation will be similar to Ligue 1 - one top club and all the rest. The only option that competitors can count on is the chaos that the World Cup may bring in the middle of the season, but maybe it will be the other way around for the additional benefit of Real Madrid.
And, by the way, maybe Xavi made Barcelona a little stronger than under Koeman, but just a little bit (and then at the expense of transfers).

Barcelona star, Memphis Depay is presently in Ghana spending his holiday. He's helping the less privilege in Ghana and have seen the Ghana club, Asante Kotoko. It's really a nice stuff he's doing over there. It's not an easy work for a player of his standard to stoop low to visit an African country and providing financial aide to the country. The Dutch player visits Ghana on a regular base and also provide social amenities for the communities he visited. Perhaps his father is a Ghanaian, that's the reason he's giving a helping hand to his roots.

Yes, there are indeed many players who care about their hometown and provide a little help for those in need. but now we have seen the good behavior of footballers like Cr7, depay and sadio mane and many other players. they spend their vacation time with charity activities by visiting their hometown.

Quote from: Davian144 on June 22, 2022, 11:47:18 AM

If the problem is money, then the club will always find it difficult to develop because on the one hand the club cannot buy good players at high prices and also cannot do other things that are considered important for the progress of a club. Because making any move and any work now always cost money in the beginning. Especially for a football club.

if finances are a problem point for the team then each team has the option to register players from its academy for next season. for big teams like Barcelona it might be easy to improve the financial side because it is easy for them to bring in big companies to work with or get an injection of funds through sponsors.

There is no doubt in last season Real Madrid was amazing in form and just because of this they are able to win double which is not easy for any team, but we have to keep in mind that in last season Barcelona was in the worst shape, and they lost some good time for settling things and after having manager like Xavi we all watch their comeback, so we can expect very interesting and tough fight between these two top ranked teams in Spanish League.

Even mostly favoring Barcelona and as they are doing some changes in their squad look like they could be the most lethal team not only in this league also in European League because their attack and now midfield both have very skilled players and this combo is going to kill many dreams with their play.

Sevilla centre-back Jules Kunde is a target for the Blaugrana squad to strengthen their defence, but Barcelona are finding it difficult to meet Sevilla's €60 million price tag for them to let go of this player. Once again they are hampered by their financial problems which are still struggling with it. This is the umpteenth time they have had trouble getting players due to financial factors.

I'm very funny seeing the current barcelona situation at now Grin

,they don't seem to realize that right now they are short of money but keep trying to buy players who have a high price tag, their failure to recruit Lewandowski should be a lesson for Barcelona to stop wasting time just to chase star players, with bad financial situation of course Jules Kunde will only be a dream for barcelona, because I think sevilla are aware if Jules Kunde also being targeted by other teams and making them certainly not willing to reduce the price of one of their best players, apart from barcelona, chelsea is also very interested in Jules Kounde and chelsea which has more stable and stronger finances of course has a greater chance of getting Jules Kunde than barcelona.

Dani Alves was very worried for his future in Barcelona because his contract will be ended at the end of this month but until now Barcelona still hasn't offering him new contract however Dani Alves arrived to help this team while Barcelona had a hard time and admitted or not he loved this team so i think he deserved to get new contract for at least one year and i know he hasn't in his prime age anymore but he can used as substitutions player because i think his performance still decent to play in LaLiga

What happened to Marcelo at Real Madrid happens to Dani Alves, only out of heart they will not admit these players, they are players who still have a lot to give, but the mentality of these teams that are "big" prefer to let them go and not offer them a contract if they don't prefer young players who are famous and trending at the moment, I think that is a vision that these teams have, I would appeal to hire them even so that they help advise young players, because the experience they they've had can't be put aside, and in games that are very important and difficult you need to have the mentality of these experienced players.

That is a great gesture by him, and yes, the important thing is to do this heart, no matter if his father is Ghanaian, the important thing is that it can be an incentive for the most needed, in addition social programs even if it seems incredible Fill a lot to a person, seeing that you are making many people happy is something very rewarding.

Despite getting approval for his transfer Barcelona once again meets finances problem. Sevilla need €66m and no player trades which makes it more troublesome. Barca have no capacity to go with such high requests thus Kunde might go another club. It's as yet sorry to see they can't enroll players as don't have money.

If the problem is money, then the club will always find it difficult to develop because on the one hand the club cannot buy good players at high prices and also cannot do other things that are considered important for the progress of a club.

I agree with you. Only Real Madrid fought for the title last season. Sevilla, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona were far behind than Real Madrid. But next season will not be like that.

In the following season, Real Madrid will face obstacles from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid to win the La Liga title.

I still believe Real Madrid were much better than other La Liga teams in terms of form, consistency and team work last season I don't agree with the saying that they were lucky. Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Seville tried but they were dropping unnecessary points. In the new season, it's not predictable to determine who will win the league yet because the four major league competitors are actually buying and hunting for more quality players to bring to their various teams

I don't think so, Barcelona can compete against Real Madrid the next year. This year were unlucky for Barcelona because Xavi has taken management too late, let's see how he will work the next year.

In my opinion they can do something of really cool, they will be really improved next year. Real Madrid has other type of issue, and it won't be easy to mantain the 1st place also the next year.
