It is a big player, loves me. It is true that there was an opportunity to do an exchange with Antoine Griezmann. It tried , but the Athletic of Madrid does not want to give off of him. And it does well", it declared.
However, this would not be the only time in which the Barcelona group tried to do with the services of the 'luso'.
