Barcelona in the last meeting, the one to try to define the exchange between Griezmann and Saul, completely blew up the bank. In addition to not participating in the eventual salary of Griezmann with a severance pay – he earns 17 million euros a year – he also asked for 20 million for the card, in addition to the partial technical compensation represented by the rojiblanco midfielder. Inadmissible proposal for Atletico who thanked and passed on. The bench seems to have jumped without the possibility of stitching it up, but the push and pull is likely.
THE JUVENTUS – In these hours L’Equipe talked about the possibility of bringing Griezmann to Italy, perhaps in an exchange with Dybala, who has reached the last year of his contract. Here, too, the distances seem sidereal for various reasons, not least the fact that such a salary is impossible to pay. But there is one thing: if Cristiano Ronaldo were to leave, freeing up 31 million in budget, a star of the first magnitude would still be needed. And Griezmann, coming from abroad, would have an incentive due to the growth decree, with contributions that would be less than before. In any case, a very important discount on salary would be needed, perhaps reaching 10 plus bonuses, for a choice of field.
INTER – Before the collapse of Suning – and of Zhang’s empire – there had been contacts, above all in a hypothetical exchange between Lautaro Martinez and Griezmann himself. Now Lautaro does not sign the renewal and would like to understand if there is room to go to a big in Spain (Real Madrid or Barcelona, in fact) and for an exchange he could also push to leave. Here too, the same consideration as Juve: an important lowering of the salary would be needed, then perhaps an economic counterpart and not a dry exchange between the parties. Difficult.
TO WORKOUT SMILING – At this stage there are no in-depth contacts, only scenarios. Quite clear scenarios due to the Covid crisis, for Barcelona, for Atletico Madrid, for Inter and Juventus. Griezmann can only move in case of dominoes with other big names. A situation that, however, can recall that of Suarez last year, when he went to train with a smile, even knowing that Barcelona wanted to kick him out. Suarez took revenge at Atletico Madrid, who knows what Griezmann’s future will be.
