Barcelona and Atlético Madrid recently entered into a head-on conflict over Antoine Griezmann. The French star who is on loan to Colchoneros from the Catalans is playing this season only from the 60th minute onwards, as part of the desire of the club from the capital not to pay 40 million euros, a must-buy clause if he plays at least 45 minutes in 50% of the games in which he is available.

After Barça wanted to file a lawsuit against the team from Madrid claiming that the purchase obligation was already fulfilled in the first season, the Catalans apparently realized that they had no case and they see how the Colchoneros incorporate Griezmann time and time again for only half an hour. Therefore, in Spain it is reported that an agreement is approaching between the clubs.

According to the agreement, Barca will lower the amount of the purchase option to only 25 million euros (for a player they paid 120 million euros for in 2019, it should be noted), an amount that Madrid should agree to. The Catalans hope to finally finish the talks before the start of the national team break and thus put an end to the exhausting saga.

The French media referred to the saga surrounding the star and in the interview of the former player Vicente Lizarzo To ‘Telpot’, he said: “What is happening with him is simply crazy and certainly affects him psychologically. When you start, you have confidence, you know you are an important player.” The goalkeeper of the French national team Hugo Lloris He added: “His situation is not good at all, it is not easy to manage in this situation and he will not make it to the national team with absolute confidence.”
