The ‘Griezmann case‘ is going around the world. FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid They reached an agreement for the transfer of the Frenchman to the mattress team for two seasons, this being the last of these. The contract dictates that the rojiblancos must pay 40 million euros instantly if Griezmann played 45 minutes, or more, of the 50% of the games that he was fit to take to the pitch. Well, that’s where the problem arises. Last season, Cholo had the Frenchman for 33 of the 39 games he could play, so he has already passed 85% of them, leaving him with the remaining 15%.
So that Atleti do not have to pay this clause, this campaign Griezmann is entering the matches around the 60th minute, something totally unprecedented in world football. What happens if the Frenchman continues to dispute that minute and does not reach 15%? He would return to FC Barcelona and would have one more year on his contract with a salary of more than 20 million euros. Neither Atleti wants to pay 40 million for a 31-year-old player, nor does Barça want him back, since his accounts would be turned upside down again. For this reason, according to Diario AS, both clubs are negotiating the figure for which Antoine Griezmann would become a mattress property.
The possible figures of the transfer of Griezmann to Atleti
As we say, the AS Journal It has been reported that the figures that Barça and Atleti are considering for the transfer of the French attacker are around 25 million euros plus another 10 in objectives. However, it is an estimate, since the sports managements are still negotiating and nothing is closed yet. The player is still key for Simeone and he has minutes, so who knows if Atleti will finally be forced to pay the 40 million at the end of the season.
