The signing of Memphis Depay is a clear message to Antoine Griezmann. The incorporation of the ariete Dutch opens him the door of exit to the French. Both players share the same position in the field, and Ronald Koeman already has chosen to his player: it prefers to his compatriot. It is logical. The performance of Griezmann in the team has not been, in the two seasons that carries in the Camp Nou, to the height of the expectations.
Said work made by the French in the FC Barcelona, neither corresponds to the price that disbursed the Catalan entity by his incorporation: 120 million the clause more 15 of penalty to the Athletic of Madrid. The percentage is desolador: 0,37 so many by meeting. At all that see with his transcendence in the Athletic, where marked 133 goals in the 257 parties that contested like rojiblanco (to an average of 0,51 so many by meeting).
In case that Griezmann had turned into an indisputable piece for Valverde, Quique Setién or Ronald Koeman, today was not in the market of signings. But the international Frenchman, although neither to him neither to his few recommended surroundings like them know it, carries put the poster of transferible. Especially after the oficialización of the arrival of Depay.
For now, it breathes
While it last the Eurocopa, the Barça will not move his index cards. Wait to that Griezmann revalorice in the continental competition with his selection (marked the goal of the tie in front of Hungary) to be able to give him gone out to a higher price. With Ousmane Dembélé lesionado (can have to happen again by the operating theatre) and missing Coutinho, Griezmann is the only of the three big signings of Bartomeu that it still can have market,
It will not be simple, especially because it still is not amortised (are missing 70 million euros) and because his wage (20 million net euros annual) is desorbitado. At present there is not European club, except that it was the PSG after undoing of Kylian Mbappé and look for a spare, that was had to assume such figures.
