The bow of union of Griezmann and Gameiro by the FC Barcelona

Next Sunday the FC Barcelona will have to face up to two of the forwards more in shape of Europe. Antoine Griezmann and Kevin Gameiro "loom" the options to the title of League of the Barcelona team with a big series. And they do it having a common bow that joins them to the Barça. Both were object wish blaugrana in a moment die but the two, by a reason or by another, said him "no" to the culés.

The most recent case is the one of the exdelantero of the Seville FC. Gameiro Was the main option of Luis Enrique and Robert Fernández to reinforce and turn it into the leading chamber blaugrana beside the intocable "MSN". And two were the refusals that received the Catalans in his tackled. One, direct from the own Seville and that Monchi explained of the following way: "it Was an interest that lasted the time that lasted the proposal and said that no. If you want to buy me this jacket, that costs 60 euros, and offer me five, as I say that no". The Andalusian concretised it next when sustaining that "the offer of the FC Barcelona did not arrive neither to the necessary minimum, or this was what transmitted me".

The another negative came of the own player. Gameiro Knew of the prestige that was to arrive to Can Barça but also that it would not have a lot of options with Messi, Suárez and Neymar in front. "It knew that if it went to the Barça was to find me like fourth forward. My time of game think that went to diminish", affirmed Kevin in a back interview to his signing.

The day that Guardiola asked to Griezmann... And they brought him to Femenía

More have to trace us back to speak of the case of Antoine Griezmann. Specifically it ran the summer of 2011 when Pep Guardiola planned a season more at the head of the FC Barcelona. The Barcelona were exultant after winning League and Champions League and looked for to follow keeping the level doing some that another signing that reinforced the lines of the team… And also his subsidiary. And with this idea treated the technician of Santpedor convince to the then player of the Real Sociedad Antoine Griezmann that it came to Can Barça.

Guardiola Contacted directly with the player to explain him the intentions that had for with him. A pleasant conversation and that hammered the curiosity of the now international French. The Barça put in contact with his surroundings and with his mentor, Eriz Olhats. However, a movement spoilt with all the negotiations.

The plans of the picture culé, and of his trainer, were that Griezmann formed this season splits of the filial. They wanted it for the Barça B with perspectives to go up to the first team and finish winning a place in him. The confidence of Griezmann in his possibilities did that it refused the offer since it did not consider in this moment player of Second, category of which had risen with the Real Sociedad.

It preferred to remain and the wait was worthwhile him as it finish in the Athletic of Madrid where now is an idol. By his part, the Barça, decomposed and without forward, finish fichando to the by then player of Hercules Kiko Femenía that finish being a rotundo disappointment.
