The French striker prefers to stay in the mattress team, but he does not want to be a ‘slave’ of the agreement reached by the ‘rojiblancos’ leaders with Barça just a year ago
The ‘Little Prince’, with the World Cup between his eyebrows, wants to find a solution that does not ‘prevent’ him from entering the field of play before the 60th minute
New episode of the soap opera starring Antoine Griezmann. The French striker wants his situation to be resolved before the transfer market closes and, according to ‘L’Équipe’, does not rule out leaving Atlético de Madrid at the last moment of the summer admissions window. His priority is to continue defending the red and white shirt, but it is clear that the famous mandatory purchase clause of 40 million euros causes him concern about the consequences that he is having: he has been a substitute in the three initial League commitments.
Always according to the aforementioned media outlet, the ‘Little Prince’ he is not willing to be a ‘slave’ of the agreement reached by Barça and Atlético just a year ago. If you are going to have to enter after 60 minutes during the entire campaign, you prefer to find another solution for your case. The situation that is currently living in the Cívitas Metropolitano is not easy at all. That is why the 31-year-old footballer hopes that both clubs reach an agreement to lower the transfer figure that will be activated on June 30 in the event that, until then, the player has played 50% of the matches in those that are available.
Obviously, the scenario of a Griezmann team change is now more remote than other ways such as a salary cut – which would grant Atlético some financial flexibility – or a reformulation of the transfer. There are less than 48 hours left until the market closes and the peculiarities of the situation mean that any hypothetical negotiation is presumed to be too convoluted to reach a safe port with little more than a day of margin. The Frenchman’s unexpected return to Madrid last summer, however, made it clear that nothing is impossible.
We will see how a series finally ends that, to loop the loop and make it even more exciting, has incorporated a change in Antoine’s position in the last few hours. ‘LÉquipe’ assures that the attacker, with the World Cup between his eyebrows, still does not want to move from the mattress entity… although he adds that has requested that his situation be clarified imminently.
