Antoine Griezmann has been the business of the century for the Athletic of Madrid and is showing in this season, in which it has gone back to be the big leader and protagonist of the team of the 'Cholo' Simeone. It is in a state of form sensacional and has turned into one of the most differential players of LaLiga. Probably, his only competition is Jude Bellingham, of the Real Madrid.
The true is that the level of the international with France leaves portrayed, again, to the FC Barcelona. Further of the evident done that it was not able to settle in the City Condal neither be the player that changed the parties with so alone ingresar to the field, in the part of the dispatches is where more has noticed the 'gift' of the blaugrana. And it is that it does not be necessary to overlook that they paid by his traspaso 120 million euros. One of the traspasos more expensive of the history of the Catalans.
The 'error' of the Barça with Griezmann
After two seasons in which it could not explode and in front of the big economic problems that had the club, yielded him to the Athletic of Madrid by two seasons with an option of purchase that went back compulsory in case that it contested 50% of the parties. It was of 40 million euros, a mount that the ones of the Cívitas Metropolitan achieved to dribble halfway (20 'kilos') after 'loom' with leaving to the player of permanent way in the bench. The Barça finish yielding in front of the requirements, because they could not allow the return of Griezmann. His wage was not asumible.
Like this then , of the failure of the Barça went out the big business of the Athletic. To sell to his maximum star by €120m to recover it by only by €20m. For the Catalan picture, supposes one of the so many businesses fallidos that add to the list. No only it has been sportive, but also of economic type. And now it is that they are seeing the big consequences of a decision that was desacertada.
