During the last hours, the option to restart the interest in the signing of Antoine Griezmann has taken form in the FC Barcelona. Nevertheless, it would treat of a signing with conditionings, since the current situation of the Barça is not the same that months backwards
What does some weeks seemed impossible now goes back to be a real option: Antoine Griezmann goes back to be in the orbit of the FC Barcelona. Like this they ensure it in the prestigious French newspaper 'L'Instrument', that informs on that in the Barcelona club have in mind go back to launch an offensive to try succeed in an operation that fracasó the past summer.
The 120 million clause that the leading Frenchman will have until the next month of June -from here, the clause will go back to be of 200 millions- can be a viable option so that the group culé go back to try convince to the 'prince' rojiblanco that in the FC Barcelona will triumph more than in the Athletic of Madrid.
Of course, we are not speaking of an easy operation, especially in economic terms. In addition to the 120 million euros that would cost his incorporation, it is necessary to take into account that Griezmann accepted a wage multimillionaire in the Athletic of Madrid, above the 23 'kilos' by season. An authentic atrocity.
Sell to Coutinho, the key
If before we spoke of economic terms so that Griezmann arrive to the Camp Nou, now is necessary to speak also of the sportive facet, since it would be necessary to fit to the French in the team. The arrival of the Frenchman does not understand without the consistent sale of Philippe Coutinho, since Leo Messi, Luis Suárez and Ousmane Dembélé keep on being intocables.
The Brazilian exerts like fourth forward, but if Griezmann arrived to reinforce the attack, Coutinho would have to go out. Checked the fact that the carioca does not like to Ernesto Valverde in the position of interior, would be unthinkable to have to five 'galactic' for three only places in the offensive trident.
Besides, Coutinho has good poster in the Premier League and there would be willing teams to offer a good quantity for ficharle. The investment pair fichar to Griezmann would be astronomical, by what the sale of the Brazilian would go back indispensable to compensate the cost. Economically and deportivamente, does not understand the arrival of Griezmann without that Coutinho leave .
