FC Barcelona and Athletic of Madrid have done quite a lot of together businesses along his history, but in the last decade these have multiplied . For misfortune of the culés, almost all these deals have gone out very bad for his interests and very well for the colchoneros. In key Barça, the signings of Burn Turan (34 million euros in 2015) and of Antoine Griezmann (120 'kilos' in 2019) were disastrous in the economic and especially with the Turkish, although with the French neither was very well, also in the sportive.
The last management between both has been the cession of Joao Félix, that simply for having marked in the gone and in the turn in the duel of the barcelonistas against the rojiblancos, already has been a bad business for the ones of the capital and one well for the Catalans. However, before the of Joao the operations between both groups have been a total failure for the interests blaugrana and an exitazo rotundo for the ones of the Cívitas Metropolitan, that have fichado to price of balance to several players that resulted to be very important for them.
The Atleti wants that the next 'crack' of the Barcelona enn triumph in Madrid was Robert Lewandowski. The colchoneros want to carry to the Pole this summer free or in return of a payment by bonus and in return offer the cession free of Joao or a substantial discount in his traspaso. It seems impossible that the culés accept by a lot that the wage of the Pole was a problem, since deportivamente keeps on being a very important player and because, besides, has a very upper value in the market still having already 35 years.
In spite of this, with the Barça and the Athletic can not give at all by impossible seeing the antecedents, of which by the way, the Barça has to learn. To the Barcelona already them 'deceived' the rojiblancos in the past with David Villa, Luis Suárez, Griezmann and, although it have not shined so much, could say that also with Memphis Depay. The Catalans left to go out to all by a price very underneath of his value and, save with the Dutch, that follows without exploding of the all, the rest stood out above the rest. With Lewi can not repeat this and therefore it suits to remember how was each case.
David Villa
The Asturian, after putting almost 50 goals between 2010 and 2013 with the FC Barcelona, decided to leave and in the club facilitated him so much the exit, that finish 'giving him' to a direct rival by the title. In the Camp Nou thought that with 32 years did not have to suppose a big danger leave him go out to the Atleti by little more than two million euros, by what accepted the ofertto. However, the 'Guaje' resulted to be a differential factor in this team of the Cholo Simeone that won him LaLiga to the blaugrana in the last party of the championship in 2014, arriving besides to the final of Champions League, that finish losing with the Real Madrid in Lisbon. Villa annotated 13 goals in the domestic tournament that they were decisive to carry the title.
Luis Suárez
After the bad drink that supposed to lose LaLiga against the Atleti of Villa, the Barça did not learn and in 2020 allowed that Suárez went to the picture colchonero entirely free. The payment of the Madrilenian arrived later, some 6 millions by aims fulfilled of the charrúa, that for his value of market was very little. In the Camp Nou wanted to undo as out of the forward by his wage and accepted this exit in spite of the bad business that supposed to give him. This same season, the 'killer' of Jump avenged winning the tournament suspender belt, marking 21 goals to be the Pichichi of his team and in the differential factor up. Another disastrous operation of the culés, but no the last.
Antoine Griezmann
The signing of the French has been definitely one of the worst to economic level of the history of the Barcelona and can that of the football. It arrived by 120 'kilos' in 2019 and, after not surrendering to a so high level as it expected , by the economic problems of the barcelonistas had to go in 2021, two years afterwards. The problem for the Barça was that the Frenchman accepted to go only if it was to the Atleti, something that limited a lot the movements and that gave advantage negotiator to the Madrilenian, that attained his cession by two years in return of alone 10 millions and an option of compulsory purchase to final of course if it played 50% of the minutes of his first campaign.
Finally, Gil Marín, owner of the picture rojiblanco, denied to pay the 40 'kilos' that agreed in this option of purchase and gave order to Simeone to put to the French during all the first season less than the half of minutes in total. Once done this, the Atleti offered to renegotiate the terms of the traspaso and in the City Condal had to finish yielding, since economically the Frenchman could not go back by his wage. The sale pactó in 20 millions, that adding him the 10 of the loan did 30 in total, 90 less than what paid the Catalans in 2019. A terrible business that on gave him to the ones of the capital to his best footballer during these years.
Memphis Depay
Finally, it is necessary to arrive to Memphis, that after arriving free to the Barcelona in 2021, went to the Atleti in January of 2023 by have not surrendered as it expected in the Camp Nou. The same that happened with Villa and Suárez, the culés gave him by alone 3 millions, since he wanted to be still in Spain and denied to leave to the foreigner. When having arrived with the letter of freedom was not any drama, but taking into account that by that then his value of market was of 20 'kilos', the reality is that without haste could have arrived other definitely better proposals that to the Dutch perhaps had done him change to seem. His performance in the Metropolitan has been irregular and to sportive level his loss did not suppose at all for the culés, but still asi could have ingresado more by him.
