FC Barcelona 'gifted' Luis Suárez to Atlético last summer and the Uruguayan became the great star of the rojiblanco team. But despite that, the culés would be clear that they will not fear that with Griezmann, who could return to Atleti, the same thing happens

Luis Suárez was the maximum goleador of the Athletic of Madrid the past season and was one of the big artífices that the colchoneros raised the title of League. The charrúa finished the campaign with 21 goals in 32 parties of the national championship, being the 'killer' that the Cholo Simeone longed for. The one of Jump was soberbio of face to goal and after his bitter exit of the FC Barcelona showed that it still has rope for while.

The Barça saw from the barrier like his ex player, a legend of the club, removed him the title suspender belt after 'give him' in the summer of 2020. The culés practically threw to the sudamericano and allowed that it went almost free to one of his big rivals in Spain. An error that paid with grow and that they could go back to commit in this market with Antoine Griezmann, that could go back to Madrid.

The French is in the ramp of exit of the Barcelona, that needs to sell him to be able to recess his mass salarial and of this form do gap to Leo Messi. The priority of the blaugrana is to sign to the Argentinian and for this are had to renounce to the of Macon, that would be loved to return to which went his house. The Athletic also is by the work that it go back and could be question of time that both clubs arrived to an agreement.

It says that the most likely operation is a barter between the Frenchman and Saúl Ñíguez, that is of the taste of the Barça. The Catalans are looking for a midfield player of his profile and with this exchange would attain to do with one and remove of on the 20 million euros that earns 'Grizzy'. Besides, the barcelonistas also expect to take out an economic compensation by the '7', since his value of market is upper to the of the Spanish.

In this sense, in the barcelonismo there is some fear to that Griezmann finish in the Atleti and turn into another 'case Suárez'. The performance of the French to the orders of Simeone in his day was glorious and could recover his best level in this second stage. Reinforce to a rival that comes to win LaLiga with a forward of first level does not seem the best option, although in this case in the club do not have fear to do it.

The Barça will not pay a euro of the index card of Griezmann

In the Barça think that the operation is positive, since it would allow to approach the continuity of Messi, recess the mass salarial and fichar a midfield player of some level. However, in the entity yes have clear that will not pay an alone euro of his index card, that is what did with Suárez. In this case, the Barcelona did charge of a part of his wage so that it played in the Atleti, something that no sucederá now. If the colchoneros want to to the Frenchman, will have to pay him all his wage or he will have to renounce to part of him. In case that this no pass, the one of Macon will not play in Wanda Metropolitan.
