CONFIRMED: Griezmann has lowered his salary to play for Atlético

Antoine Griezmann has put everything of his part to be able to return to the Athletic of Madrid this summer. The French left clear since it related him with the group colchonero that only would leave the FC Barcelona​ to play in Wanda Metropolitan. Thus, the Barça has not looked for more options in all the market and at the end has decided to yield him to the picture rojiblanco with an option of compulsory purchase.

"The FC Barcelona and the Athletic of Madrid have arrived to an agreement for the cession of Antoine Griezmann for a season more another optional. The Madrilenian group does charge of the index card of the player and has an option of compulsory purchase", detailed the Barcelona team in his communiqué. Therefore, the Frenchman will not go back to dress the elastic of the Barça and will begin a new adventure in which it went his team until the 2019.

But to go back to the Atleti, 'Grizzy' has had to renounce to good part of his wage in the Barcelona. In the City Condal, the one of Macon was winning around 20 million net euros, being the better player paid of the staff after the exit of Leo Messi. Unfortunately for him, the colchoneros in no case could allow this sueldazo, reason by which according to the 'Chain Cope' has finished 'forgiving' the half.

As it has commented the mentioned half, the already ex '7' barcelonista will win from now 10 net millions annual, 50% less than what earned in the Barça. It is a very significant gesture of the French, that will leave to be the best paid of LaLiga, something that went during some weeks after the course of Messi. Now, that 'title' will have it Gareth Bleat, that earns some 15 in the Real Madrid.

Go down the wage to the half will be the first gesture of Griezmann with his new fans, that still has not forgiven him that it went in 2019 of the form that did it. From now, it will have to litigate each balloon, work as never and mark a lot of goals so that all the athletic go back to want to him as in the past. There is not doubt that this cut will be a good form to initiate the reconciliation.

The Athletic will pay 10 millions to the Barça by the cession

It is necessary to stand out also that, as they aim in 'Cope', the Atleti will have to pay him 10 millions to the Barcelona by the two years of cession of the Frenchman. What is not clear is if these 10 'kilos' will discount of the 40 that they will have to pay to buy him once finish the loan. In case of not being like this, the culés will receive this money now and the 40 in 2023, a round business in the economic taking into account that for then the attacker be 32 years old.
