Calendar of FC Barcelona

The negotiations to carry out the barter between the FC Barcelona and Athletic of Madrid that would cause the return of Antoine Griezmann to Wanda Metropolitan, with Saúl Ñíguez occupying his index card in the City Condal, are taking more time of the expected and the culés are expecting to arrive to an agreement the sooner possible to follow scheduling the season 2021-2022.

The economic subject is playing a key paper in the summits between blaugrana and 'colchoneros' because they do not put of agreement in several points. The wage of Griezmann (of more than 30 million euros) is the first point, because the Barça denies to assume part of his index card, but the Atleti neither can pay it complete. On the other hand, the blaugrana are conscious that the value of market of the French is very upper to the of the midfield player and feel that they would go out 'losing' of the operation, by what still is on the table the inclusion of another player in the deal.

The position of the Barça is clear and, as 'Sportive World', like this would have done it to him know to the rojiblancos. Mateu Alemany Gathered with Gil Marín, adviser delegated of the Atleti, and specified that under any circumstance the club goes to repeat the 'case Suárez' of the past year, in which in addition to reinforcing to a rival direxto, finished paying a part of his index card.

With the difficult financial situation of the culés, from the offices of the Camp Nou do not go to assume more crosses that will move them away of his aim to recess the mass salarial, knowingly that the limit that imposes LaLiga will see reduced drastically by all the losses that had the club during the last year, main reason by which the Barça has put the limit and does not go it to surpass.

The true is that, in spite of the difficulties, expects that this week exist new advances so that the barter continue on its way. From 'MD' explain that both clubs have hastes to seal it to clear the future of his staff, more now that will begin the parties of pre-season and will not want to expose to his footballers.

What think the players

Antoine Griezmann would be motivated to return to which went his house, where already triumphed and made history beside the 'Cholo' Simeone. The French would not put a lot of fetters in the operation, but if it finishes remaining in the City Condal neither will have problems because that would be his intention, in principle. However, also it is conscious that the situation of the Barça forces him to step at the side and not to turn into an obstacle for the club.

Saúl Ñíguez, on the other hand, yes would be very ilusionado and thrilled by fichar by the Barça. In the last season in the Athletic lost a lot leadership and wait that under the orders of Ronald Koeman can recover his best version and litigate by a fixed place in the medullary Barcelona, although it will be very difficult to surpass to Pedri, Of Jong or Busquets.
