The day Griezmann laughed behind Barcelona (history of a complicated signing)

"He is a great player and we would understand each other", was the wink of Messi to Griezmann before the Frenchman slammed Barcelona. Bartomeu already knows how to lift the mood of the Argentine

The depression in Barcelona is such that even the announcement of Griezmann's farewell to Atlético de Madrid has been able to cause some outbreak of euphoria. It is being very hard for Bartomeu and, above all, for Leo Messi to recover from the hard blow of elimination in the Champions League against Liverpool. The mood is on the floor and the possibility of winning the Copa del Rey, which would mean a double, does not end with the pain of the bump in Europe. The possible signing of Griezmann is received with a certain reluctance by the surveys that are made among the fans and the refusal to join. Bartomeu needs a coup d'état, recover the illusion, reinforce the project and, above all, bring out Messi's depression. The easiest thing is to sign Griezmann.

Long before Messi said that famous phrase, which sounded like a promise, that he was going to bring the Champions back to Barcelona, ​​he spoke about Griezmann. "He is a player and we would understand each other," the Argentine said in an interview with El Mundo Deportivo on June 7 last year. The idol of Barcelona asked Griezmann. He winked at her. Then what we all know happened. The power of seduction of Simeone, a salary of 20 million euros and the season in which the final of the Champions is played in the Metropolitan took the French to announce in a documentary that remained in the Atleti.

The 'no' to Barcelona has a price: Griezmann is not forgiven for publicly "laughing" at the Barça club. They say so relevant people as Laporta and, of doors to inside, Bartomeu and its directors. Griezmann received whistles from the Camp Nou in the league match. Bad symptom for a player who wants to rebuild his image and face new challenges. It is still not clear that it is in Barcelona because of the backpack that he carries as a capricious, mercenary and a salary that Barça does not want to assume. In no case would reach those 20 million euros and Griezmann advised that to play at Barcelona should have some gesture of repentance. Ask for forgiveness.
