Another lousy Barcelona business: They yielded Antoine Griezmann to Atlético Madrid, to reduce salaries

On loan for one year and with a purchase option for 40 million euros, this will be the business of Barcelona with Atlético de Madrid, so that Antoine Griezmann will once again be under the command of Diego Pablo Simeone, the coach who took him to a superlative level.

"The French player becomes a rojiblanco player again after the agreement reached between Atlético and Barcelona for his loan for one season with the option of another extendable by either party," said the press release of the rojiblancos de Madrid.

The striker Galo has scored a total of 133 goals for the Madrid club: “Antoine Griezmann is already a rojiblanco player. The French international returns to the rojiblanca discipline after the agreement reached ”. In addition, during his time there he was present in 257 games.

"We welcome a player with great quality and who returns with great enthusiasm to wear the rojiblanca again," said the letter from Atleti, who with the player won the Spanish Super Cup, the Europa League and the European Super Cup.

The truth is that Barcelona once again did a terrible business, and let go of one of its most valuable players, just like it did with Luis Suárez and Lionel Messi: at zero cost. It is true, in this case, he is not delivering it definitively, but it is incredible that he gives up one of the most important players in the squad at no cost, and that to top it all, he is going to empower one of his main rivals in La Liga de Spain.
