Luis Suárez went to the Athletic of Madrid in return of 7 million euros the past summer. Besides, the FC Barcelona paid part of the wage of the charrúa in his first season like rojiblanco. An operation to all the disastrous effects in the economic, but especially in the sportive. The culés almost 'gave' to his '9' to one of his two big competitors in LaLiga and finish it paying.
The one of Jump was the maximum goleador of the picture colchonero the past campaign and was key so that the ones of the Cholo Simeone conquered the title suspender belt. Without his goals, his personality and his winning character, the Madrilenian could not have surpassed to the Barça and to the Real Madrid. The error of the Catalans to leave him go out to Wanda Metropolitan was capital and the time showed that they would have to have asked quite more money or even have him sold to another club.
By all this, gave the impression that the blaugrana had learnt the lesson and did not go to go back to commit the same error this summer. However, this past 31 August, to few minutes for the end of the market of signings, the Barcelona went back to the walked 'giving' to Antoine Griezmann to the Athletic. The French will play in Madrid yielded by a year and another optional and the athletic will have to buy him once finish his loan of compulsory form.
In this case, the economic conditions of the agreement with the colchoneros is much more beneficial that the one of Suárez. The little more than 20 million euros of index card of the of Macon will pay them the ones of Wanda of whole form and, besides, the culés have the certainty that they will buy to the forward in one or two years. It does not know with certainty of how much is this option of purchase, although some sources signal that it will be of 40 'kilos'.
However, in spite of that economically it is a good operation, especially to half and long term, deportivamente is still worse that the one of Suárez. In the case of the Uruguayan, his years in the Barça seemed to have happened to the history and his performance was leaving that wish and went to go every time to less. In the one of Griezmann, instead, expected that without Leo Messi he went the offensive leader of the team and to his 30 years and with a lot of pending accounts, there were hopes in that at last it found his best version.
The Athletic is more favourite to everything
In spite of his irregularity and to the a lot of that has criticised it to him, 'Grizzy' comes to mark 20 goals the past course and now, without Leo, the normal is that sooner that late it took a step forward. Thus, the Barcelona will lose a lot with his course and the Atleti will win it everything. The colchoneros, that already had very good team and that they were favourite in League, now will be it much more. Will have to one of the best attackers of LaLiga leaving to one of his big competitors without his better theorist forward.
