Barcelona are eyeing to make a move for Antoine Griezmann in the summer transfer window. According to some sources in Spain, the star player of Atletico Madrid has agreed to join the Catalan Giants in the next season. The same news agency has also reported that the French striker is now ready to join Barcelona with a reduced wages.
Antoine Griezmann gets the annual wages around £23 million at Atletico Madrid. At Barcelona, he has reportedly accepted an offer of £16 million annual wages. This might sound little weird and it can not happen without any special cause.
However, the French attacker has always denied about this rumour. In a recent interview he told,
“It’s the same every year, and I am used to it and tired of it.”
So, now the situation is very tricky for Antoine Griezmann. The French attacker may feel that he will never win the Champions League trophy if he decides to stay at Atletico Madrid. He has already won the World Cup with his National side and now he targets to win the Champions League.
Antoine Griezmann might also be eyeing for the Balloon D’Or award and one Champions League win can help him to reach that Goal. So, that might be the reason why the French striker wants to join Barcelona.
