Also Atletico want to replace him with Lemar from the same source

Seems GDM has got it mixed up. His buyout is set at €200M right now and will reduce to €100M in the summer

The move is on the cards. Griezmann is already looking for a house in Barcelona [catalunya radio]

You always know transfer news are BS when they involve a player's house, his hairdresser, and/or him telling his teammates and friends stuff.

Cat radio is rarely wrong though when it comes to Barca and they've been saying it's gonna happen for a while
I don't know how to feel about this. I'm not really a fan of Griez, but it's undeniable he's absolutely world class.

Re: Almost Official : Antoine Griezmann joins Atletico Madrid
Come on, let us do a Bayern, buy him if not just to weaken Atletico
Then we can go 2-3-3-2:
Griezmann Suarez
Coutinho Messi Dembélé
Arthur Busquets Rakitic/Roberto
Umtiti Pique
Umtiti can do a Abidal and help out at LB whenever needed, we would score so many goals anyway, doesnt matter if we concede a bit

I take that line-up as a joke anyway, but obviously Alba needs to stay in the team because he's amazing.
No idea how we would fit all of Griez, Messi, Suarez and Dembele into the team. I honestly don't think it'd be possible without an overkill.

Re: Almost Official : Antoine Griezmann joins Atletico Madrid
Barcelona are worried they will have to pay much more than expected to sign Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid, Sport says.
The Catalan side are ahead of Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United in line to sign him and were expected to trigger his €100 million release clause this summer.
However, a clause in his contract means the value may rise to €140m and he is hoping to arrange his next move before the World Cup.

Re: Almost Official : Antoine Griezmann joins Atletico Madrid
I don't think Griezmann will go to PSG. They're being investigated for their transfer dealings, and as things stand, they still haven't balanced the books to meet the FFP rules for signing Neymar. Not to mention that they'll have to pay Monaco 180m this summer if they wish to sign Mbappé permanently.
So assuming PSG are truly in for Griezmann, they would be 500m down off the books after signing him. Unless they're planning on selling their entire roster, shoes and a couple kidneys, I don't see how they could sign him without getting crucified by UEFA.
That leaves United and Barcelona. The Catalans have already a massive wage bill, and bringing another superstar with a 10m+-per-year salary would inevitably put their financial health in jeopardy. Unless they're planning on making a major overhaul and sell all the dead weight, I don't see how they can sign him without giving a serious dent to their already massive wage bill.
Realistically, Barcelona seems to be the most likely destination for Griezmann, but I wouldn't rule out United either. They can easily outbid Barcelona and offer him a much better contract, and frankly, those two factors are the two most important ones in today's market.

Re: Almost Official : Antoine Griezmann joins Atletico Madrid
He's clearing coming to United after his comments last summer especially, friends with Pogba, Martial being sold etc
and like you said about Barca's financials with their wage bill atm
I think we're in pole position for him tbh, there's space for him, we have the funds and will be looking for a marquee signing.

And what a horrible choice that would be
Clearly a step down except for the money

We're better than Alteti, it's a step up. Don't @ me with the Sevilla games, these things happen. Are Roma a better side than Barca? no. It's the right move for him, for us? I'm not so sure. Still unconvinced he can get it done on a rainy night at the Sports Direct Arena. But I hope we let him try.

Re: Almost Official : Antoine Griezmann joins Atletico Madrid
Man for Man, Atleti are a better team than you. Just accept it. Even Griezmann isn't foolish enough to join you after what's happened with Pogba and Martial but you never know with these fickle minded French players. All I know is he won't be the beast at Atleti if he joins you. Most likely will be playing wing back or doing defensive duties with matic and score an odd goal or two ofcourse.

Re: Almost Official : Antoine Griezmann joins Atletico Madrid
No they aren't, so I won't. We have a top 5 starting 11 in the world and massively under-performed against a Sevilla that has claimed some big wins this season, knocking Atletico out of the Copa by winning both legs. Second in the PL all season, beaten CL finalists Liverpool and unbeaten against them this season. So stop that nonsense about them being better than us, struggled against Arsenal last night ffs. They got knocked out of the CL groups.
We are a step up from current Atleti. Obviously he would be better off joining Real or Barca but I'm not sure the interest is there and money is a hell of a drug.
Personally I think he's a good fit for Mou. Atleti play similar football, I've seen him track back and throw leg-breaking challenges plenty of times.
If he isn't the same beast he was for us as he is in Spain it's because he won't be playing the Granada's of the world week in week out IMO. Anyway I know you're trying to rile me up and agree with me really.

Re: Almost Official : Antoine Griezmann joins Atletico Madrid
Saul, Koke, Thomas Partey, Filipe Luis, Correa, Griezmann, Costa, Godin, Himenez
That's about 90% of Atlético's starting eleven that would waltz into your line-up. Not a better team than you my ass
They're better than you in just about every area of the pitch except that they don't have fancy freestyling dabbing merchants or washed up 500k a week Chilean piano players
Putting on a Griezmann picture isn't changing anything homie. It's pretty obvious he won't be joining you.

Only Godin and Griez would get into our starting 11. Stop homie. Atletico have done nothing to show they're on our level this season, quite the opposite.

..We've signed a superstar every season since Moyes left at this point. This summer will be no different and Griezmann makes the most sense. So quite the opposite, I expect a PS4 every season and get one. although in Sanchez' case it was a PS4 box with a PS2 inside.

United and Juventus suffering from the same issues in the midfield and are both being continuously linked to more forwards, kind of an unreal parallel

Re: Almost Official : Antoine Griezmann joins Atletico Madrid
Actually Firenze, I think S is right. I'm not trying to disrespect United in any way, but there's no denying that Atlético have been way more relevant than you in Europe for almost a decade now. They have reached the final of the champions league twice in the last 4 years alone after winning the Europa league shortly before.
United to me strikes me as a collection of incompatible, talented, albeit criminally overrated players who were bought for at least thrice their true worth.
You could become a great team under the management of a better coach, but as things stand, you really don't have any proof to convince people you're any better or even as good as Atlético.
The only step-up for Griezmann to have in joining you is money. Other than that, they are a better team as a unit and they happen to have a better manager as well.

And all those PS4's have been broken and sent for repair
Enough PS4's for you. I think some brand new PS2's (Richarlison) and some used x-box's (Bale etc) suits you better IMO

He's not going to United, Bale has been booked already and he will take the #11 shirt and succeed Giggs
