the Catalans set a deadline for Griezmann!

Antoine Griezmann’s situation continues to be talked about at the start of the season. The French international had to be content with the bench to express himself on the first meetings. Systematically replacing at kick-off (with the exception of the derby against Real Madrid), the native of Macon entered in the 60th minute to bring his attacking drive towards the end of the game. A situation all the more frustrating that it does not result from the performance of the player.

Antoine Griezmann is indeed the victim of a legal battle between Atlético Madrid and Barça. A clause present in the latter’s contract would oblige the Colchoneros to exercise the option to buy 40 million euros if they play more than 50% of the matches. A match being counted as “played” beyond 30 minutes of play, Antoine Griezmann must be satisfied with the crumbs. A situation that does not suit anyone and which Barça would like to get rid of.

Barça ready to let go for 20 million?

According to information from Mundo Deportivo, the Catalan leaders have given themselves until the World Cup in Qatar to settle the question. The latter have absolutely no plans to recover the French international, whose XXL salary would hamper the club’s ambitions on the transfer market. Barça is therefore ready to sell Antoine Griezmann for 20 million euros, half of the release clause. For its part, Atlético Madrid is playing for time and hopes to take advantage of this situation.
