Griezmann
The flop Antoine Griezmann (31 years old, 17 games and 3 goals in La Liga this season) will have cost FC Barcelona dearly, and the damage may not be over! While he will sign definitively at Atletico Madrid next summer following having fulfilled the necessary conditions for the payment of his purchase obligation set at €40 million, the French striker should not bring anything to the Blaugrana before… 2023!
Indeed, without calling into question the definitive departure of the world champion from Atleti at the end of the season, the Catalan daily Sport announces this Friday that the Colchoneros will in fact have nothing to pay Barça during the next off-season, but only at the end of next season! A condition imposed by the Colchoneros when negotiating the loan of the native of Mâcon, but above all a given of weight which might have its impact on the summer recruitment of the Barcelonans. And this despite the signing of an XXL contract with Spotify.
