The journalist of 'MD', Miguel Rico, has ensured in the last hours that the FC Barcelona "advances well" in the negotiations by the signing of Antoine Griezmann of face to the next season 2018-19, and that in this coyuntura "will pay in June 100 million euros to the Athletic" to close the traspaso of the French player, the one who already has left to go in more than an occasion that can do the cases in the short term.

Griezmann Never has hid the predilection that feels to the FC Barcelona, and in more than an interview also has put by in front the possibility to follow playing in LaLiga Spanish by in front of other options, as leave to the Premier League to play in the Manchester United or to Paris Saint-Germain to do it in Tie it 1.

The Frenchman has the life done in Spain, and is thus that the option to play in the FC Barcelona, that would not suppose him a radical change in his lifestyle and where besides could win the important titles that has not won with the Athletic of Madrid, is the best possible alternative.

The clause of rescission of Griezmann will go back to be of 100 million euros in 2018, and the FC Barcelona would wish to take advantage of it for fichar to one of the best players of the world and put the guinda to a staff already of by himself ilusionante.

Bartomeu involves in the negotiations 

Such is the interest of the Barça that, according to the quoted source, the president Josep Maria Bartomeu has involved personally in the signing, having eaten with the parents of Griezmann in Barcelona in the last days to approach postures. If the Barça pays the clause, the Athletic will not have at all that say in this regard and everything will depend on the will of the player.

The question is that Griezmann would be the big bet of the FC Barcelona for 2018, and from here will be necessary to follow very closely all the evolutions that can give in the negotiations and in the contacts between the Barça and the surroundings of the player. To his 26 years, Griezmann would be a reinforcement of luxury, would not need adaptation to LaLiga and, besides, knows already to the big majority of members of the staff culé.
