Antoine Griezmann Getting Closer to Barcelona

DBasia.news –  The 2018/19 season for Barcelona is not entirely a failed season. Barcelona can still win two trophies this season, after winning the La Liga title, if they win in the Copa del Rey final against Valencia (25/5).

Even though they have won a lot of success and has several quality players in the squad, it does not reduce Barcelona’s activity in every transfer market. Even in the summer of 2019, they are rumored to be active in bringing in new players, especially after returning to fail to win the Champions League.

According to Sport English reports, Barcelona still has not given up and continues to make Antoine Griezmann the main target. Even the club’s sporting director, Eric Abidal is rumored to remain in intense communication with Griezmann’s representatives regarding his transfer plan to Camp Nou.

This step was allegedly taken by Barca because they thought if Griezmann would be the right successor of Luis Suarez, it was understood that the Uruguayan had indeed turned 32 years old. Not only that, the poor performance of the front lines when Liverpool were eliminated in the Champions League semifinals were also considered by the club.

In addition to information, Barcelona was reported to have offered salaries worth 16 million euros per year and would bind Griezmann until 2024.

The opportunity to get the French player’s signature is also not impossible, although his agent several times confirmed that his client had not made any contact with the Blaugrana, Griezmann was also called disappointed because Atleti had again failed to win the Champions League. This season they were eliminated by Juventus in the round of 16.

One thing that will make it difficult for the player to come to the Camp Nou is the fantastic freelance clause Griezmann has. Barca must be prepared to spend at least 120 million euros, but the release clause is rumored to be down to 100 million euros starting July 1.

Antoine Griezmann is not the only player on the Azulgrana shopping list, beside himself, the club is also claimed to be soon to complete the transfer of Ajax Amsterdam defender Matthijs de Ligt.
