There are very few good and experienced defenders. It can be seen that all the teams try to strengthen their attacking lineup but do not look properly at their defense. Attacking lineup from teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid are very strong but the defense is not very strong. Real's defense has weakened since Ramos left Real Madrid.

Has Real Madrid bought someone, as a replacement for Ramos? I did not see any news related to this. If they don't buy, the next season will be a nightmare for them. They will not be able to win any title next season. Because the team's forwards relied entirely on Benzema, and the defense relied on Ramos.

I also didn't hear about Real Madrid buying someone to fill Ramos' place. But I'm very sure that they will make the necessary transfer for the position. And they must do it. After Ramos is released, there are going to be Varane, Militao, Nacho and Vallejo as centre-backs. I can't say that Nacho and Vallejo are the best alternatives. And they should even make a top defender transfer I think. It would help the competition between the defenders increase also.

They will not be able to win any title next season. Because the team's forwards relied entirely on Benzema, and the defense relied on Ramos.

There is no definite target from Real Madrid yet, but based on the news I've read, Madrid will be eyeing Pau Torres. a young players, but have a potential, of course this is very good for Real Madrid as they look for a long-term defender option as a replacement for Sergio Ramos. However, there is no further news regarding this rumor.

If Pau Torres joins Real Madrid, it will be good for Real Madrid's future. He is still young, he will be able to stay in the Real Madrid team for many years. And no club wants to change defenders every year. Clubs change forwards and midfield but keep the defense unchanged. For this, they should be included in the team of young defenders.
But unfortunately, according to the news I read from one of the existing sources, the fact is that Manchester United are also eyeing Pau Torres. That way, if Madrid want to bring him to the Santiago Bernabeu then of course there will be price competition there, but there should be no problem about the price for these two big teams. Well I'm just looking forward to it and besides, after Madrid called Carlo Ancelotti again I'm personally not so sure Ancelotti can give his best in his first season but yes, anything can still happen and Madrid can definitely stay on the title track.

As silly as it may seem, some players would take into consideration things that may be overlooked by normal people. Like the fact that the UK is mostly a shitty place to live during 5 months a year. Rain, cold, not many hours of light and a bunch of people that pretend that other do not exist. Seriously, if I were a player, I would request a big premium to settle in the UK and to play for any British team. Perhaps that explains why the Spanish league has great players even in small teams  Grin

The fact that good defenders are cheaper than good strikers seems to make it easier to find and buy a good defender for a club like Barcelona? Indeed, for a long time it has been customary that defenders are cheaper than good strikers or midfielders, and this has its own logic. Because a good defender is mostly a destroyer, while good midfielders and forwards should be players with non-standard thinking who should create scoring situations and score goals. And as you know, it is always easier to destroy than to create.
Yes...but no. When you have a good defender and he doesn't worth too much when you sell them, it is rare that you would end up selling them, because let's face it there are not that many players who would be sold that easily for 40-50 million when they are one of the best in their positions, so why sell them when you can just sell a mediocre offensive player instead to get that money. What are the exceptions? Well there are teams who happen to find a good gem of a defensive player and could sell them, if you are not a great team going for a high position and you get an offer, you take it because it is rare for you to find that player.

However it is not easy for high level teams to keep finding those gems, which means they will have to either take a risk with a young star potential player, or they will have to convince a star at an already good club, which is very hard. Still not a lot of money in play at both possibilities, just not easy to convince VVD to leave Liverpool and join Barcelona you know? That type of deal.

Depay did not have a good Euro and it would be difficult for him to adapt to Barcelona tactics. Aguero has a bit similar style of Suarez but he has never played well with Messi in Arghentina. Connect them in the attacking spicy-food will be a challenge for Koeman. Internal problems might occur from Griezman if he stays in Camp Nou.

I think Barcelona have enough transfers for the attacking field and wish to see their transfers to improve their defense system. They need to have two good central defenders. Pique and Lenglet have their personal issues and are not good enough for Barcelona.
Good defenders are quite expensive and Barcelona is in financial trouble right now. It is unlikely that the team can be seriously strengthened. So I think next season we will see a weak play of both Barcelona and Real Madrid. he has the same
Not really, I mean defenders even at the best do not go over 100 million as far as I know (maybe I am wrong) yet I have seen so many players sold over 100 million because they are offensive players, and even better yet now there are even more in the talks, Kane and Haaland are in talks to be over 100+ very easily as well. I am not saying defenders are cheap, all I am saying is it is easier to get a good price for a good offensive player whereas it is not that easy to get that money for a defender.

The greatest defender in the world right now versus not so great offensive player worths around the same. Like VVD is the best defender in my mind (not saying he is, just according to me, you may think someone else) and he worths as much as Sancho and Sancho worths half of what Haaland worths. See the difference? That is why defenders do not really worth the same.
You are right that defenders are less valued than attackers. Although there are fewer good defenders than attackers. In any case, it is problematic to buy a defender now. Clubs are not willing to sell them, and those who are on the market are unlikely to be better than those who are in the club.

Attacking players always have higher price than defensive players. Always. The transfer market need many more years to see a goal keeper or a defender who has transfer cost more than $100 M. There will be defensive players have that cost but not now, not in near future.

The pandemic brings crisis to many clubs and affect their balance sheets and it will prevent the inflationary price of soccer players. With the general downside on the market, defensive players will not have chance to hit $100 M.

The only hope for you is the fiat inflation keeps exploding more and more.

You're right, aside from the problem I think Pique is getting old, it's about time they looked for a replacement alternative. After all, age will eat up his physical strength, experience will not be enough to withstand the opponent's fast attacks and fast runners. I've read that they are interested in Alessio Romagnoli from Milan, Lisandro Martinez from Ajax. But do they still have enough money to line Pique? They are said to be having a hard time with money.
AC Milan won't let Romagnoli go too easily because he is the captain and a leader of their defense system. AC Milan need Romagnoli to have stability for their defense system that is basement to fight for titles.

To be honest, I really want Barcelona to be much more competitive than the last season. They had big problems in the La Liga and couldn't compete for the title until the last week. Lionel Messi tried everything he could. He scored 30 goals and made 11 assists in 35 league games. This man had the right to criticize the team for the poor performance in general. What should he have done more to save the team in the end?

I also hope that they will get better next season with making good transfers. They have already signed Aguero and Depay. They should think of the other positions also. As long as they sign the right players, I believe that they will put up a great fight for the title.

You are right. Next season we will see a weak squad from both Barcelona and Real Madrid. But they have experienced coaches. Experienced coaches can also make a weak squad strong. However, this season Barcelona has become more interested in buying strikers without buying any experienced defenders. I don't understand why Koeman is not including any experienced defender in the team. When we all know that Barcelona's defense is weak.

There were a lot of problems between the Barcelona team this season. The team coach was new. It takes a lot of time for a coach to adjust to the players. It takes time to adapt to players with new coaches and new strategies. Koeman has solved his team's internal problems. And including players in the team needed to strengthen the team. Hopefully next season Barcelona will have a more stable performance.

In Italy an old player like Ibrahimovic who is 39 can still play and even, from 19 games Ibrahimovic can still score 15 goals and that is something extraordinary. That way at least proves that Ramos can also play but indeed, I don't think all players of old age can play in the top leagues because a tough game will definitely make him prone to injury.
Do you really think that Ramos is as good and valuable as Ibrahimovic? I mean ibra was never the very fast guy that ran pass you, he was the guy who scored in unthinkable ways and that didn't age that bad, after all he had the skill for it, maybe when he was a lot year (like 20 years ago) he could have been very agile and fast but that was never the skillset that he relied on, dude was a machine that scored no matter how he had to do it (we all still remember that goal at his nation team).

Ramos on the other hand is a defender and he needs to keep up with the ever younger strikers and attackers constantly and I am not sure if he could do that. I am not saying he can't do it, I am just saying it will be very hard, and if I owned a team in Serie A, I wouldn't really give him anything remote to what he is asking, I would prefer someone younger.

Great defender like Ramos can play in any league. In his age now, he can get troubles with Premier League but he might play very well in other leagues: Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue I, at top clubs.

Old players like Ramos need to be used appropriately. If coaches use them appropriately, they can play well. If coaches over-use them, they will not be able to have good strength and will bring bad performances.

Many legendary players in Serie A played till the end of their thirties and Ramos can do it too.

It's still enough for Sergio Ramos to play for 2 more seasons and now he's 35 years old, he already knows but in good condition and fits in his defense I think it's still suitable in the big leagues, it's just that some coaches still doubt that they will have a different view that if you are old, you won't be able to play optimally anymore, especially as the most important defense in your team, but what is certain is that Sergio Ramos will definitely be of interest to other big European clubs.

Sergio Ramos's fitness is still good enough. Undoubtedly, he will be able to play easily for the next 2/3 season. And he can easily adapt to any team's defense. If there is a skilled defender like him, the defense of any team will become stronger. If Real Madrid can't find a perfect replacement for Ramos next season, they will have to pay for the mistake.
