FC Barcelona forward Antoine Griezmann is one of the highest paid players in terms of advertising. In the last hours Griezmann maintained that he broke a large contract with the communication company Huawei for an alleged investigation against him. Just as Trump aimed against the Chinese government, Griezmann aims against the company from the same country.

Griezmann since leaving Ateltico Madrid that he found stability in his life. The constant criticism he receives from the Barcelona media and the little support from his teammates would be making Griezmann doubt whether or not it is best to continue at FC Barcelona. Now the problem of this Chinese company is added.

Soccer players have sponsors as a very important source of income, but when Griezmann found out that the Huawei Company was being investigated for alleged illegal espionage, the French striker decided to break his contract immediately. It's a great attitude on Griezmann's part.

Clearly Antoine Griezmann did not want to lose support from his followers for supporting this company and that is why he decided to break his contract. Like Donald Trump with his constant criticism of the Chinese government, Antoine Griezmann decided to stay away from everything that has to do with Huawei. It will be necessary to see how this investigation continues.
