What was a secret to voices, confirmed it Joan Laporta after confirming that they were opened to listen offers by Antoinne Griezmann. The club blaugrana has put it in the market from does weeks and in the planning works with the premise that the French will go out this summer.
The main problem is that, of agreement to the newspaper SPORT, the French has said him to the directive that only will go with the Athletic of Madrid and this announcement has been a balde of cold water for the leaders of the club, since the conversations with the colchoneros have not arrived to a clear-cut end.
In the Barça know Griezmann has a lot of market. There are clubs in England and Italy that they could and would want to pay entirely his index card like yielded to see if they can pay his signing the next season.
Griezmann Keeps on being a footballer of first level. The Barça had the intention to advance negotiations with any of these teams because it has to reduce the mass salarial, but Griezmann does not think to listen offers except that they come from of the Athletic of Madrid. Even it has said them that would be had to recess the wage to be able to fichar with these.
This caused alarm in the entity blaugrana does some days since many gave done the exit of Griezmann, but the Barça is in the wire by the problem of the limit salarial.
The convenient for the club would be to give them an exit to other footballers with a high index card like Umtiti, Pjanic or Coutinho. More than everything, need that Griezmann leave the club before 31 August. The situation seems more favourable that time backwards, but leaves to glimpse that the negotiations to close his exit will be long and there is not form to know if they will finish successfully.
By the moment, the club decided to freeze the interest of several clubs of Europe in Griezmann. It does not have felt fiarlo all to these negotiations if the French does not accept also establish negotiations. With the Athletic of Madrid already tried to speak, but the club sees difficult an agreement with the rojiblancos.
Barter by Saúl descartado
Under any circumstance the Barça will give to the footballer neither will make exchanges without economic profits or depiortivos. The barter posed by Saúl was a ruin for the Barça, since the midfield player colchonero asked a high wage and the Barça was not able to amortise the signing of Griezmann. The 'no' of the club has been rotundo.
With opportunities
The Athletic of Madrid if it is interested Griezmann. The directive of the club is convinced that the Barça goes to have to accept a favourable agreement for them to the not being able to square the numbers of the mass salarial and think that this could occur in the last week of market.
The club colchonero launches messages how if the operation descartara, until Simeone wished him luck to Griezmann with the Barça. What look for is that the Barça accept a barter or a cession in favourable conditions for these, although this depends on if the French follows firm and does not leave seduce by any another offer that no only was the one of the rojiblancos.
What thinks the Barcelona
In the Barça take calmly the situation. "The Principito" knows that they want to do without he, but also try to work in an economic stage to guarantee his continuity. It is by this that try to negotiate with the 'holy cows' a discount of his wage. In the sportive area create can attain that the numbers remain in order and Griezmann could follow this next course, although it would have to see if it attains to win a place between the headlines.
The bidding is like a game of póker between the Barça, the Athletic and the player and all the stages could give. It will be necessary to see if the Barça keeps his posture and in the club anybody descarta totally his continuity. The priority is the exit, but the Barça will not give to any player and less to a direct rival like the Athletic, since the precedent of Luis Suárez follows very alive in the collective memory.
