Griezmann's future depends on what happens with Messi

Since it landed in the Camp Nou in the market of summer of 2019, Antoine Griezmann is always attack to Lionel Messi. And of course no odd to anybody. The French took the decision to change of airs and defend the elastic Barcelona to win titles and play with the best of the world, but also knew that his ideal position in the field and his role of game occupies it the Argentinian star, so it did not remain him more remedy that adapt and cover spaces.

If it has touched him play hit to the left band, has done it; if Ronald Koeman plants it of leading centre, has adapted . In spite of the criticisms, and attending to the context, Griezmann has had a correct performance in the FC Barcelona. It has annotated 35 goals in 99 parties, an average of 0,35 by party. Of course they are not the numbers of the Athletic of Madrid (0,51), where marked 133 goals in 257 parties.

However, it is important to highlight that Griezmann is a player that has gone of less to more and that, in the only title of the Barça in the two last courses, the Glass of Rey, exerted a decisive paper for the achievement of the title: from the key goal of the final of The Cartuja to the traced back against Granada or Seville. His level went up the past season.

A context apremiante

In spite of his growth and the paper exerted, the economic asphyxia that crosses the Barça affects him with seen to the season 2021-22. The Barcelona club is forced to soltar ballast to be able to inscribe to his four signings and renew to Messi. Griezmann Is one of the highest wages of the staff, by what if Leo decides to continue in the team, the entity surely look for the way to separate his destinations.

Besides, Antoine would not have a fixed place in the team with Messi, Depay, Ansu and Agüero in field, have minutes will not be at all simple. Although this would not be a big problem, the French works well and could do a space in the group. The greater problem is that if Messi continues the mass salarial will not allow that Griezmann continue.

Value futbolístico

The Barça is consent of the value futbolístico of Griezmann. In fact, in case that Messi did not continue in the team, the stage would be entirely distinct and would have a role protagónico. But for the moment and under the context of the renewal of Leo, the situation does not allow that the French and the Argentinian continue together. At least, that is the theory.

Another transcendental appearance in this coyuntura is that Griezmann, at least before it finished the season, did not have any intention to abandon Barcelona. And if this plan is still in foot, expects a summer complicated. Besides, Antoine has not been amortised. The Barça would need a sale of more than 100 million euros not to lose with the French. A figure absolutely out of market these days.
