Several media have desvelado that the Athletic of Madrid would not have intention any to pay 40 million euros to the FC Barcelona by Antoine Griezmann. The French has an option of compulsory purchase in his cession with the colchonero, but the club would be by the work to reduce this figure or return to the player to the Spotify Camp Nou.

The 'Aleti' will have to pay him to the Barcelona by the mediapunta if it contests at least 45' minutes in 50% of the parties in which it has been available in his two years of loan. In the breast of the club do not see this with good eyes, since it is a very elevated figure by a footballer that will fulfil 32 years, by what will do the impossible to save that mount.

The first sample of this was in the debut suspender belt in front of the Getafe, when Griezmann ingresó from the bench to the 62' and did not compute the necessary minutes to go in in the list of meetings that expand the percentage of the clause of purchase. Of equal form, the midfield player annotated the third goal of the victory (0-3) in front of the azulones and situated in the place 18° of the ranking historical of goleadores of the Athletic.

The journalist Alexis Martín, better known as 'Mister Chip', ensured that the directive of Enrique Cerezo already has communicated him to the player and to his surroundings that do not see him like an indispensable footballer. "The Athletic has said him that it does not have he", aimed, reaffirming that the decision of the club goes through not exerting the option of compulsory purchase.

The past campaign favours to the Barça

In the 2021/22, Griezmann fulfilled with the quota of the 45' minutes in 33 parties of 40 that was available, discounting the absences by injury and sanction. This launches 82.5% of participation under the terms of the agreement.
