Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Player Barcelona reportedly happy Antoine Griezmann left on loan to Atletico Madrid in the transfer market earlier this season.
Griezmann left Barcelona on the last day of the transfer window closing. The French striker was released on a one-season loan scheme with a permanent purchase option for a transfer value of 40 million euros or the equivalent of Rp673 billion.
Reported from Sport BibleHowever, Griezmann’s departure was greeted with joy by some players. The reason is because some of the Blaugrana players were disturbed by Griezmann’s behavior while at Camp Nou.
Referring to the news reported by Sport, Griezmann made Barcelona players uncomfortable with his involvement in the making of the documentary ‘The Decision’.
The film was shown on the Spanish TV station Movistar. The broadcast focused on Griezmann’s decision to refuse to move to Barcelona in 2018 and chose to stay at Atletico.
In fact, Football Espana claims Griezmann was never part of the core group at Barcelona.
Griezmann is the next star player to leave Barcelona. The former Real Sociedad player followed in the footsteps of Lionel Messi, who had already joined Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) because Barcelona could not sign him due to financial problems.
Barcelona itself can be said to be at a loss due to Griezmann’s departure. The Catalan team had to spend up to 120 million euros (Rp 2 trillion) when they brought him in 2019.
However, Griezmann was never really able to show his best potential. He struggled to match the greatness of Messi at Barcelona.
