We tend to forget it, but Antoine Griezmann is still a FC Barcelona player. The French international is currently in his second consecutive season on loan with Atletico Madrid. A loan that includes an option to buy €40m, automatic if the former Real Sociedad player plays at least 45 minutes in more than 50% of Colchoneros matches. Last season, this figure stood at 81% but the Madridians don’t seem ready to spend such a sum on the Frenchman.
In the first two La Liga games, Diego Simeone’s number 8 only played 29 minutes. Many believe that the Spanish club is deliberately reducing his playing time so as not to have to pay 40 million euros. Faced with this situation, Barça would have requested an investigation from its legal services to determine if there could be fraud in the law through this method.
As a reminder, Griezmann played 81% of the matches (45 min/match minimum) last season. If this figure > 50% at the end of the season, the ATM will have to pay 40M€.
