Shocking revelation! July 15, Beijing time, the daily sports newspaper disclosed that Griezmann and Saúl transfer drama is about to be staged. Both clubs have reached a tacit agreement on the exchange of players, and at the moment are discussing the details of the contract. This transaction seems cost-effective, in fact, Barcelona or face a net loss of up to 65 million euros. Saur's market valuation of 40 million, while Griezmann's bid is 60 million, recall Griezmann year to 120 million euros to join Barcelona's grandeur.
Griezmann moved from Atletico Madrid to Barcelona for €120 million in 2019, but failed to deliver the highlights as promised. Now, Barca are desperate to sell him to save money and Griezmann has his mind set on returning to Atletico.
Saur's departure from the team accelerated, even in the autograph session at the end of the training, in the face of the fans to stay, he still responded with humor: "The media are saying I'm gone."
Rumor has it that Atletico are interested in swapping back Griezmann, in addition to Saur, for 15 million euros. And now, the daily sports newspaper confirmed that Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have reached an agreement on the exchange of Griezmann and Saur, the two sides are in contract negotiations with the players, only the issue of salary has not yet been finalized.
In the transfer market, Saur's valuation is only 40 million, even with the addition of 15 million, compared with Griezmann's 120 million euros that year, the gap is obvious. Barcelona this operation, a net loss of 65 million euros. It is worth mentioning that Barcelona in recent years in the transfer market loss is more than that, Coutinho, Dembele and other people's transfers have made the club lose a lot of money.
Barca also need to be wary of the fact that last year they sent Luis Suarez to Atletico Madrid, where an assist from Messi, an old friend of theirs, directly helped Atletico Madrid win the La Liga title. Now, if Griezmann returns to Atletico and gets a second wind, it would certainly be an ominous sign for Barcelona.
Despite not performing up to expectations at Barcelona, Griezmann is still the team's number two scorer. As a result, Barcelona is in dire need of new additions such as Aguero and Depay to quickly integrate into the team. This summer, Barcelona has signed Depay, Aguero, Eric Garcia and Emerson, and Saur will be the fifth player to join.
