Inevitably, there is only one solution left for Atletico to enlist the Red Devil: to reduce its payroll. One player is mainly pointed: Antoine Griezmann. The French world champion earns 30 million in salary per year, which is a huge part of the overall salary budget.
The Spanish media announce that the will of the club is to separate from the ex-Barcelonian. It will therefore have to be the case (or revise his salary downwards) for Witsel to join Spain.
Anyway, there will be no authorization to exceed the salary line. We remember that La Liga had been inflexible regarding the extension of the contract of Lionel Messi one year ago. There’s no reason his stance should be any different this time around.
