Antoine Griezmann Signs For FC Barcelona

[SirBalon]

They (La Liga) could block the transfer of they wanted and if it’s proved there was a pre-contract which FCB deny there was any. But it’s extremely doubtful they would ever block the transfer and at most they’d mediate a fair amount on top of what’s already been paid.

Put it this way... Atlético Madrid CAN’T take back Griezmann now even if they wanted to because of what they’ve spent and the wages they’ve put out there. They can’t start the €28m+ per season Griezmann was earning again. They don’t want him back. They feel Barça negotiated behind their backs like they did when they got Griezmann from Real Sociedad and they’re pissed-off.

Atlético Madrid have cancelled their complaint against FC Barcelona for any wrong doing in the transfer of Antoine Griezmann.

Probably felt bad after seeing old man Aduriz style on Barcelona the other day. Ah, Aduriz possibly the Spanishj striker deserving of more love than he receives.

El Mundo say they've seen emails negotiating Griezmann's move to Barça in March

They involve €14m in commission to be paid to family members and advisors. One aggrieved party ended up being left out, and released the emails.  Atleti now have them.

The context being, of course, that Barça have denied negotiations were going on in March, when Atleti were still going for the title and Champions League. They say talks began when Griezi's clause dropped to €120m.

Spending like 400 million on Griezmann, Coutinho and Dembele looks like utter fucking lunacy now.

Far too much.

I'm surprised in this day-and-age that clubs with millions in the coffer are having emails leaked. Who is running the IT in these places and how do I get in on some of that action for a much higher cost?
