Defending champion, FC Barcelona will do everything to keep the La Liga trophy on the side of Catalonia next season. But for that, Xavi’s men will have to dominate a Real Madrid that has become stronger with the recruitment of Jude Bellingham.
Even if Barça lost a few games at the end of the season in the league after failing in the Champions League or in the cups, the Catalan club still had a great season. Winner of La Liga with ten points ahead of Real, Xavi’s group was strong with a renewed workforce. For this first title without Leo Messi, the Spanish coach was able to count on key players like Lewandowski, Pedri or Gavi, elements who will still be there next season. This 2023-2024 exercise will also surely be more difficult for Barça in La Liga, since Real Madrid will have a completely different face.
It must be said that the Merengue are making a big start to the summer transfer window. In addition to the return of Brahim Díaz from loan, the arrival of Fran García and the next arrival of Joselu, Real has mainly spent 103 million euros to secure the services of Jude Bellingham. By recruiting the very promising English attacking midfielder from Dortmund, Madrid has given itself an additional weapon to compete with Barça next season in La Liga. Nothing to scare Gavi
“Real Madrid can sign whoever they want, I don’t care”

“Barca are not at their best time economically, but many very strong youngsters have come out of the academy and we have a great squad. Real Madrid can sign whoever they want, I don’t care. We have our own players and we will always go to the death to win La Liga”, launched the Spanish midfielder in the columns of Mundo Deportivo. A statement showing that Barça is sure of its forces for next season, despite the fact that the FCB will not be able to recruit many people this summer. After failing in the Messi file, Barça will try to make some good moves on the transfer market. But perhaps not up to those of Real, who could make a last madness by leaving Kylian Mbappé of PSG to replace Karim Benzema.
