New move by Barcelona in the negotiation to bring Lautaro Martinez in Catalonia: Antoine Griezmann can become the key to permanently unlock the transfer of the Argentine. The Frenchman did not make the decision well Quique Setien to send him on the field in the last moments of the match against Atletico Madrid and, according to what reported by the British newspaper ‘Daily Express’, he is ready to ask the company for the transfer. A will that the Blaugrana could exploit precisely for convince the Nerazzurri, proposing an exchange on par with the Argentine.
ll Barcelona, who spent 120 million to snatch the world champion fromAtletico Madrid, has every intention of reviving an idea of an exchange that had been aired more timidly in the past few weeks. The proposal is to send Griezmann to Milan, the Nerazzurri shore, and to receive Lautaro Martinez, valued by Inter in exchange. 90 million euros.
In his season at Barça, Griezmann never shone: on the contrary, he never found the right agreement nor with Leo Messi nor with Luis Suarez, so much to climb in the hierarchies of Setien, which after the game against Atletico explicitly declared of not having to apologize with the French footballer for having let him enter the field practically after the time has expired.
The same coach of the Catalans then added that the Frenchman had stayed out of the initial eleven for technical choice and not to alter the team’s balance. A move that the footballer didn’t like it and that could convince him to pack his bags at the end of the season, whatever the final result as Barcelona are in the running for both the title of the League both for the Champions League.
To the statements of the ‘Daily Express’ are then added those of ‘Le Parisien’, according to which the sister-agent Griezmann’s will reach Catalonia in the coming days to frame the situation with the club and discuss the possible transfer to the Nerazzurri.
Currently, Griezmann is bound by a contract that will expire in late June 2024, which provides for an overall engagement of 17 million per season. A figure on which Inter will necessarily have to reason and which, at the moment, represents the only real obstacle to a negotiation destined to become one of the ‘hottest’ of the summer.
