The FC Barcelona needs to sell to Antoine Griezmann so that Leo Messi​​ was still in the team. As it has commented , economically it is unfeasible that both footballers can play together the season that comes, by what to retain to the Argentinian will be necessary to give off of the French. The problem is that his sale will not be at all simple, since the Barça still has to amortise between 70 and 80 million euros of his traspaso in 2019.

The Frenchman cost 120 'kilos' and the Barcelona can not sell it by less than 70-80, since in this case would lose money. However, in spite of this problem, lyou Catalans are working from does some weeks to find a solution. The first that looked for was the one to command him to the Athletic of Madrid by Saúl Níguez in a barter in which, besides, demanded some 20 millions to compensate the greater value of market of the of Macon.

Nevertheless, the picture colchonero denied to pay a euro more by the French and, besides, asked to the Barcelona that did charge of part of his index card. The Catalans denied to this, since one of the main reasons to sell to the forward is to undo of the more than 40 million gross euros that earns. After this desencuentro, seems that the operation has remained descartada and that the rojiblancos no longer think in his ex footballer.

However, in spite of this, in the Barça neither much less go to surrender with 'The Principito', since they consider that it is his best weapon to reduce mass salarial and to do box. Thus, the Barcelona work now in other possible exchanges and has spoken even of one with Paulo Dybala and the Juventus of Turín. In this case, sources of the club would have denied it, but the reality is that there are several open fronts.

The Manchester City could be the solution to sell to Griezmann, since the 'cityzens' look for attacker and would be had to leave to leave to Riyad Mahrez, Aymeric Laporte, Bernardo Silva or Raheem Sterling. The problem with the English is that his big aim for the leading is Harry Kane, by which are bidding. Nevertheless, the Barcelona is attentive to this interest, since if they see that it is impossible fichar to the '9' 'spur', can that they put his eyes in the Frenchman.

The United does not seem to be a solution

The United also has interested in the gone through 'Grizzy' when it played in the Atleti, but this summer seems that no ficharán another 'crack'. The 'network devils' already have spent 90 millions in Jadon Sancho and are near to pay some 50 by Raphael Varane. Thus, it is little likely that have money for another big operation like the one of Antoine. Although in spite of this, in the Camp Nou no descartan to any club and will tighten to sell to the of Macon, whose exit is main to adjust the accounts and can 'fichar' to Messi.
