Real Madrid has the budget but they ran out of their main options, Mbappe mainly and Haaland also.
There is some rumours about Tchouameni, Dybala, B. Silva. I don't think there will be someone to take Benzema place at least for the next season but Real Madrid should find a substitute for him for the upcoming years.
Real Madrid were furious when Mbappe decided to stay at PSG despite reportedly having reached a personal agreement beforehand with Real Madrid. I think next season Benzema will no longer be like this season, he is getting older and the competition will be even stronger between Real Madrid's young strikers. So it's good to have a replacement for him as soon as possible because Real Madrid won't be hanging on to his magic for the rest of the season.

Barcelona managed to rise very quickly from adversity, they brought in a new coach and some new players, it was very effective to lift their performance in the second half of the season, but once we can't compare with Real Madrid's performance which was very consistent from the start of the season until finally they succeeded. won the La Liga trophy this season.
maybe if Barcelona can maintain their good form they will be able to compete more tightly for the title next season.
I agree that there is a good situation with Barcelona. They have some young stars finally, they had so many old players just a few years ago, I believe that even Xavi wouldn't have been able to bring that team to glory because they were so old that the 90th minute couldn't come soon enough.

However, there is a good case to be made about them becoming much better with the young stars now, Pedri at 19, de jong at 25, fati at 19, gavi at 17!, torres at 22, traore 26, dembele at 25. These are all amazing players. There are some others too, and they are all great. Of course they still have some older players like Busquets but they will transition out of those older players eventually too.

I wonder whether Real Madrid are going to go for a striker this summer. They already have an incredible striker like Benzema now and his effort in this season so far has been amazing. But they can't rely on him every season at this point. If they manage to sign a young and strong striker as early as possible, they can be more comfortable considering the future. Kylian Mbappe was their prioritized target but PSG convinced him to extend for three more years. This must be a big disappointment for Real Madrid and let's see what their next move is going to be.

When compared to Barcelona, Real Madrid clearly has a higher purchasing power, so the chances for Real Madrid to get Robert Lewandowski are much bigger than Barcelona. In addition, Robert Lewandowski has shown an interest in moving to Real Madrid and I think what will be decisive is how much of an offer Real Madrid can make to Bayern Munich.

Well even though Bayern Munich has turned down offers from Barcelona and they are trying to keep Robert Lewandowski, but a large transfer value could make a difference.
Yep, Real Madrid has no problem with a financial problem and they still didn't buy any top players lately, so they must have enough money to buy Lewandowski. Real Madrid can make an offer with a big transfer fee, but I think Real Madrid management must consider Lewandowski's age as well, they probably don't want to spend too much money for an old striker. However, I am also very sure that Bayern may accept Real Madrid offer if the offer is quite realistic, and especially if Bayern already gets a new CF as the replacement.

Barcelona was able to finish this season as runners-up after stumbling in the first half.  However, Barcelona failed in other competitions such as being knocked out of the Champions League, the Blaugrana then also failed after being thrown into the Europa League.  Their steps in the Copa del Rey also only reached the round of 16.  Xavi of course realizes that this season has been a bad season for Barcelona, ​​but the presence of Xavi has been able to save the face of the blaugrana from worse.  Looking at Barcelona next season will definitely improve, Xavi will recruit several players to strengthen the squad and be able to compete for the title.
Apart from wanting to bring in some new players to strengthen his team next season then I think Xavi also really wants to keep some of his potential young players. Dembele continues to develop and he has become a player that is expected to be kept in the next few seasons, but the player has not yet decided whether he stays or chooses to move to another team next season.

Another important position is defender because Alba and Alves are also not always able to help the team throughout the competition. They are injury prone and I think they need to get a decent cover next season.

Real Madrid is predicted to be very busy in the transfer market at the beginning of the 2022/2023 season. Real Madrid has been quite passive in the last two transfer windows. Madrid focused on building the Bernabeu Stadium so that the transfer budget was cut. Next season, Madrid will be hunting for players again.  

Real Madrid must immediately regenerate the squad, considering that some of its key players have started to age, such as Benzema, Modric, Kroos, Casemiro and Marcelo. El Real must move quickly to find a suitable replacement. But Perez's main targets for signing Mbappe and Halland have run aground and Madrid must move quickly to other targets. In addition, Madrid will also release several players who are not included in Ancelotti's plans.

I think next season will be a success for Barcelona, if even this season they have managed to finish in second place, having risen from the middle of the standings. Now they can compete with Real Madrid again and create intrigue. All the more so if they get a powerful forward like Robert Lewandowski.

I wonder how the fact that Barcelona was able to beat the average shows that they are able to compete with Real Madrid? After the arrival of Xavi, the distance between the clubs remained practically unchanged (this despite the fact that Real Madrid won La Liga a few rounds before the finish line and had no motivation to win in every game).
Barcelona did end the season without a trophy. We have to admit that Barcelona has been crushed this season but there is one thing that Barcelona fans should be grateful for.
at least, Barcelona can comeback to finish second in the Spanish League standings this season, after Barcelona had previously slumped.
Now Xaxi has to judge a lot of things. Barcelona needs to strengthen. Next season Barcelona will have to fight for the trophy. Barcelona must prepare well and be competitive.

One of the reasons Barcelona didn't win any trophy this season, Barcelona didn't start well in the beginning of the season under the watch of the previous coach. Despite how Barcelona began so bad they were still able to end the season with an impressive position. Barcelona will do more better in the next season with the watch of xavi as the coach .

Barcelona's management is a little late in making Xavi the coach of Barcelona, if since the beginning of the 2021/2022 season Xavi has been
Barcelona coach. I believe Barcelona can at least win a trophy this season, if Xavi replaces the previous coach at the start of the season,
but Xavi has only managed Barcelona in the middle of this season. So it must be understood Barcelona finally did not get a single trophy this season,
but Barcelona to be in second place after a disappointing start to the season is a very good achievement in my opinion. Even though it's nearing
the end of the season, Barcelona's performance is declining, it's because Barcelona already have enough points to keep them safe in second position.
Now that the 2021/2022 season is over, Xavi has to prepare everything for next season. It looks like Barcelona are quite active in the transfer
market, targeting several new players to strengthen their squad, so that next season can compete to win trophies. And I believe in Xavi's ability
as a coach, Xavi will give his best and hopefully next season Xavi can help Barcelona win trophies.

I totally disagree with this, for a big and respected team like Barcelona to end the full season trophyless is not good at all, Barcelona was in poor form from the beginning of the season, they almost got close to the relegation zone before the signing of Xavi as the new coach. Upon Xavi's arrival, Barca was still not like the team every club feard because of their playing tactics, the Players lost confidence and couldn't do much not until the signing of Adama and Auboumeyang which I believe helped the team move back to the top 4 in the La Liga but they failed to get to the Europa League Finals that was disappointing and a bad season to the team.

Barcelona was able to finish this season as runners-up after stumbling in the first half. However, Barcelona failed in other competitions such as being knocked out of the Champions League, the Blaugrana then also failed after being thrown into the Europa League.

As for the mentality, this whole nonsense that Xavi used (joint meals, increased discipline, etc.) is a psychological pumping that gives a short-term effect. After some time, in my opinion, this rather gives a negative effect, now it’s not the 60s for players to endure this for a long time. As for the results of Barcelona, they have become better (but not in all tournaments hehe), but these are not the kind of radical improvements that allow them to hope for something.
At least in this case they have a little change considering that maybe in this case Xavi wants to do something from the smallest first such as providing a special approach between the coaching staff and players although I do agree with what you say because this will only affect the short term and not very good in the longer term but maybe this is something they really have to do now considering at the moment the players aren't too fit in their chemistry and hope all this can improve things for the better.

I do not agree because I think Xavi has improved the performance of Barcelona a lot. I have to say that points are not everything if anyone wants to judge the performance. I believe the performance of Barcelona went up very rapidly. And I have to say that credit goes to the coach because he boasted the mentality of Barcelona players a lot. Real Madrid potentially had less competition this season because Barcelona did not play well at all from the start and I think the case will be different in the next season.

Luuk de Jong is definitely not at the level of Barcelona now. He is already on loan too which means Barcelona can get rid of him easily in this summer. He scored only 6 goals in 21 games and I assume that Barcelona signed him on loan just to have an alternative striker in the team in case their main attackers get injured or so. They have Aubameyang now and his performance so far has been breathtaking. He scored 20 goals in 38 games in total this season. But having him only is not enough of course so I also support them on the mission to sign Lewandowski. And Depay had better play as a winger or be sent from the team.

I would also get rid of Luuk de Jong and Depay if I were Barcelona. They were only obtained because Ronald Koemand was a trainer at the time. He thought he could do magic there and started living beyond his means. Frenkie de Jong might also leave. Barcelona needs money, but you need to be able to keep your best players. They do have a good young squad at the moment, they should definitely be able to compete for the title next season. This season Xavi has made the most of it by qualifying for the CL.

yep, maybe for this season I only have one disappointment with Xavi, namely they failed to bring the Europa League Trophy which indeed my expectations were high there and when it failed this was the only disappointment for him Cheesy
Regardless, he is indeed good enough to train and get their spirits back and being in the top 4 deserves appreciation
Xavi failed in the Europa League, it will be something that will teach him a good lesson to improve next season. My assessment of Xavi this season is probably the same as yours, he managed to finish the season in second place although there are doubts he will not lead his team to qualify for the Champions League next season.

The purchase of Aubameyang and Adama Traure is considered very important for Barcelona's success this season. The mastery of the midfield and the use of wing speed made Barcelona enter a new era with Xavi. I hope they are better next season, but of course new players have to be brought in.
This will indeed be a good lesson for him because even though Barcelona's current performance is different, on the other hand, there are still some things that need to be improved so that something like this does not happen in the future.

For the purchase of players, they are still showing good things and it can be said that Xavi's purchase did not fail there but on the other hand I still haven't seen a good enough performance for Adama and Ferran there even though Ferran has played well several times but he still hasn't showing the best performance at the moment

Lewandowski have one year left contract with Bayern Munich, if not let her go in this window transfer have potential for Bayern Munich make Lewandowski become free transfer player on next year. I think not any bad decision if Bayern try for selling Lewandowski to Barcelona because they can get much money and looking for new central forward replace with Lewandowski position on Bayern Munich, trough still have chance for selling Lewandowski on higher price why not Bayern  Munich make transfer and deal agreement with Barcelona.
Robert Lewandowski is a player with great quality as a goalscorer. He has great ability as a finisher when he gets chances in front of goal so I think Barcelona are very interested in getting him. But it's a shame if Bayern Munich don't want to let him go to Barcelona because next season he will definitely be a player on a free transfer. I don't know the reason why Munich didn't want to let him go, but it's probably still uncertain as the media coverage was unbelievable at first without an official announcement from the club.

Barcelona is also rumored to be releasing several of its players including forward two "Luuk De Jong and Memphis Depay" in the transfer market. Obviously they want to get a worthy replacement and I hope Lewandowski is one of those signings next season.

But unfortunately, from one news source I read that Bayern Munich would not let Lewandowski go, even though Lewandowski himself stated that he wanted to play for Barcelona before retiring. If I consider the situation then I think the news is true because after all, Lewandowski's contract still has at least one more season left at Bayern Munich. About regeneration players will certainly be very necessary now, because it's time for Xavi to build a team that is younger and better.
Barcelona's interest in Lewandowski can be confirmed but in the end the deal probably wouldn't have happened had Bayern Munich been unwilling to let him go. I don't think Barcelona will lose if they fail to sign Lewandowski, it will give other players more time to play but Lewandowski is a good player in an attacking position.

However, it is clear that Barcelona still have to hunt for a new striker in preparation for next season's campaign which may be expected to compete with Real Madrid.

The problem for now is whether Barcelona will be able to redeem this player. Even though Lewandowski's age is now quite old, but if you look at the performance and productivity of the goals he has achieved, of course this will still be of great value in my opinion and the current problems in Barcelona regarding finances are still not completely resolved. It will be very pressing if they continue to look for strikers with high purchasing power but are unable to release any of their strikers who are now piled there

Joan Reporta as Barcelona president admits that he is not sure if he can sign Lewandowski, after a 32 million euro offer was rejected by Bayern.
According to news circulating Bayern want a minimum transfer fee of 50 million euros to redeem Lewandowski. But with Barcelona's finances not
fully recovered, it is indeed quite difficult to bring in Lewandowski in the transfer market this summer. Even though Lewandowski is not comfortable
playing for Bayern, and has reached a personal agreement with Barcelona management. But the remaining one more year on the contract is
a temporary barrier,  maybe another option Barcelona have to sell Barcelona players who are not needed to be able to get the money that will be
used to redeem Lewandowski. Because it is impossible to expect Bayern to lower the transfer fee for Lewandowski.
with things like this like it or not they have to auction off their players, especially for the front lines. Currently, there are several players who are really interested, such as Dembele, who is still interested in PSG and Juventus some time ago, and there is also news about Braithwaite, who has been widely approached by several English clubs.
It is very difficult for Barcelona at this time with their financial condition to sign some great players because of limited money and like it or not, if you really want to buy, you have to be willing to let go of some players as well as additional funds.

About regeneration players will certainly be very necessary now, because it's time for Xavi to build a team that is younger and better.

He is 33 years old, maybe he will be useful for barcelona in 2-3 years.  But I heard the news that if Lewandoski's price was too expensive, Barcelona could only afford €32m. Laporta was unable to meet Bayern's demand for €50m. So I think it's impossible for this year. Maybe Barca should wait for next season and get it for free. With Lewandoski's argument actually if Bayern hold him can make Lewandoski's quality decline, because his heart is already at another club.  

I believe 32 million was it isn't enough amount for a player who is already 33 years old. Asking for 50 million for a 33 year old player is just unbelievable to me. Barcelona needs to spend their money very wisely because they are in a lot of Debt. they also did not win anything this season so that is obviously not helping in the economical situation. I believe if they can get Robert Lewandowski for free in the next season it will be a great deal for Barcelona instead of paying more than 40 million for him.

at least, Barcelona can comeback to finish second in the Spanish League standings this season, after Barcelona had previously slumped.
Finishing second in the standings is not too bad despite failing to lift the trophy, Barcelona's game has been very good throughout the game this season but Barcelona will not be satisfied if they don't win La Liga this year, Barcelona will train hard to prepare for La Liga next season, because it has great potential to go back to its former glory to get all the wins of any League next season.
I totally disagree with this, for a big and respected team like Barcelona to end the full season trophyless is not good at all, Barcelona was in poor form from the beginning of the season, they almost got close to the relegation zone before the signing of Xavi as the new coach. Upon Xavi's arrival, Barca was still not like the team every club feard because of their playing tactics, the Players lost confidence and couldn't do much not until the signing of Adama and Auboumeyang which I believe helped the team move back to the top 4 in the La Liga but they failed to get to the Europa League Finals that was disappointing and a bad season to the team.

The way Barcelona had started this season. I think the second position is really good. I thought they are not even going to finish in the top 6, let alone the top 4. 
so, I believe they have done a good job even though they did not get any trophies this season. but right now Barcelona is changing under new management and I believe they will surely get some trophies in the next season, you also need to remember that Barcelona is going to play in the Champions League. I expect a good performance from them in the Champions League, to be honest.
