Real Madrid's president is a very experienced man who spends money to recruit better players, which is why the club is still functioning well and winning trophies back-to-back. That is what Barcelona lacks; they do not have the money to get crucial players, which is why they do poorly in league competition. Real Madrid's addition of Mbappe has made them a formidable opponent for any club. Madrid no longer needs any transfers; the only thing they lack is a striker, but now that they have Mbappe, they will not buy any more players, and Real Madrid will be the favorites to win the La Liga title next season. Since Barcelona did not make any changes still they will still probably perform weak but let see if the new coach will do something good to make the team stronger.
Yes that's right. Real Madrid is very smart and very experienced in recruiting players in recent years, they can even get players for free and have a very good impact on the team. Just look, in the last few years, Real Madrid has managed to recruit several players for free, such as David Alaba 2021, Antonio Rudiger 2022, and Kylian Mbappe 2024. Maybe next season they will also get defender Alphonso Davies from Bayern Munich for free.
When buying players, Perez takes a direct approach to his players. Currently Alphonso Davies only has 1 year remaining on his contract and it is very likely that he will not extend his contract, so Real Madrid could get him for free if Bayern Munich does not sell him immediately. Real Madrid wants to buy at a price below that offered by Bayern Munich.
If we talk about Barcelona, they failed to transfer players and had a financial crisis, but they bought players at high prices and high salaries so that Barcelona's finances are currently unstable. Next season Real Madrid will still dominate LaLiga because their squad is better than Barcelona at the moment.
