Long and tended has spoken in the last days on the possibility that Antoine Griezmann decide to abandon, to the term of the present season 2018-19, the Athletic of Madrid. Now his sister and representative, Maud Griezmann, has gone out to the step of the rumours that speak on a reflation of the negotiations between the footballer and the Barcelona, after the deafening elimination of the Athletic of Madrid in Champions League to hands of the Juventus, and that the group colchonero 'sacked ' of LaLiga losing in Saint Mamés the weekend (2-0).

In statements conceded to 'L'Instrument', the sister of Antoine Griezmann has ensured that the player Frenchman only thinks in his current club, and in the concentration of France for the parties of the present international stop of March. "If there is a club with which are in contact in this moment is the Athletic, and no another. Antoine is disappointed by the elimination of Champions, but the same that his mates and his trainer".

Independently that there has been or no contacts with the FC Barcelona, the reality is that in the Barcelona club does not value like priority -neither much less- the possible signing of Griezmann, a player that already refused to the Catalan entity the past summer, and that has showed not being regulate and constant when his team needs him to the maximum level.

The FC Barcelona, without any need of fichar to Griezmann

The FC Barcelona has other priorities in the market of signings to reinforce the forward and other positions, since with the presence of Luis Suárez, Leo Messi, Ousmane Dembélé and Philippe Coutinho goes 'sobrado' of effective of guarantees in attack. Now, what needs is fichar to a young promise that can grow in the club, being increasingly important.

If Antoine Griezmann wants to come to the Barça, seems that it has made a mistake of summer. Better that centre in the Athletic of Madrid and in the selection of France, as it has ensured his sister, before thinking in impossible dreams to fulfil. The train of the Barça already happened, and there are opportunities that or take advantage of to the moment or no longer arrive never more.
