Griezmann or the quarrel with Messi that is loaded its signing by the Barça (and the plan B that puts fear to Florentino

The reasons that led the French to put their arrival in Barcelona in the fridge

The French attacker has reversed the official announcement of its continuity after leaking the news before the appearance today. Antoinewill not say anything else. At least not until his participation in Russia ends .But when I spoke it will be to announce that his future is red and white.

The FC Barcelona was lurking for months. His signing was one of the priorities that Barça has in hand, as well as his arrival was one of the most excited the fans. After the failure of the Ousmane Dembélé season , Barcelona needed a crack to motivate Barcelona and the Frenchman was the one who should provoke this new illusion.

Detractors of the signing of Griezmann

But not everyone in the city blessed the possible arrival of the striker. In the dressing room of Ernesto Valverde , some cracks did not see clearly the incorporation of theAtlético de Madrid attacker .Heavyweights did not seem quite the salary that seeks to perceive the French footballer.

Antonie wanted to have one of the highest payrolls in the squad, aboveLuis Suárez and only behind Leo Messi . Specifically, a figure close to that offered by Atlético , which puts up to 23 kilos on the table.

The South Americans were not going to accept that no newcomer receives more than either of them.

Barça looks for ways to convince Griezmann

For its part, blaugrana responsible either did not see clear accept the demands of the striker. They knew that accessing Griezmann's requests would destabilize the salary system mounted on the staff, which could cause a monumental fire.

That's why at Camp Nou they looked for other formulas that would not unleash the jealousy of a section of the workforce.

From the city of Barcelona proposed to pay a chip of 15 million euros plus five variables, which would place him below Messi , Suarez and Sergio Busquets , but to make up the difference they offered a signing bonus that is unknown as far as it was.

The madridismo of Griezmann

Nor did he like the statements of love that the player has made to Real Madrid on more than one occasion.The Frenchman confessed on the radio, in an interview on the COPEnetwork , while he finished demonstrating the day he avoided stepping on the Madrid shield in aChampions League final .

Antoine Griezmann puts Barça in the fridge

Antoine stopped his arrival at Barcelona weeks ago. This is what he told the Atlético capos and they know it also in a Barcelona that, despite the refusal, continues working desperately to avoid what would be the umpteenth ridiculous in the management of Josep Maria Bartomeu and friends. A final result, his "no" to Barça that aims to immovable. 

And it is that  Griezmann has not worried so much that the Catalans did not cover the economic expectations as Messi and company had him in the spotlight before arriving.

From the environment and warned the striker that Leo is the boss in the dressing room culé and that Leo never wanted in the team. Even Florentino Perez warned him. Also, to reach Barça, the role that would have been relegated is the new lackey of Rosario, something that Neymar lived and Antoine did not want to accept, preferring to maintain the status that has the team of Diego the 'Cholo 'Simeone .

Barça starts plan B

Nothing is new. At Barça they knowGriezmann's arguments to the detriment, and also that, if he leaves, he has offers from the Premier that guarantee his sporting and salary leadership. Example: City , United orChlesea .

For all, culés responsible for a long time working with an alternative plan to cover the arrival of ' Grizi '. A closed list with several routes and action plans. 

Mohamed Salah, option number one

The first of them is that of Mohamed Salah , of which in the Club culé they have very good reports via his formerLiverpool teammate Phillippe Coutinho . To take to the Egyptian, in addition, would leave to Real Madridwithout one of its great pretended ones.

For his part, the Egyptian crack does not forgive the ugly injury that Sergio Ramos caused him   and he wants revenge. And the best way to obtain it would be wearing the Barça shirt  . But the figures are not clear: there is talk of  between 80 and 150 million. 

The problem: the  150 millionminimum that the reds ask for their transfer. A figure that seeing how the negotiations were by Coutinho , the British will not reduce nor a euro.

Kylian Mbappé also approaches Barça

The other crack in the agenda of the Blaugrana technical secretariat isKylian Mbappé , on loan at Paris Saint-Germain for Monaco . The Catalans want to take advantage of the problems with the financial fairplay of PSG with UEFA to take the French pearl.

The UEFA has the club Nasser Al-Khelaifi in the crosshairs and the information that could point to punish the champion of Ligue 1 without signing for two windows market. If this happens, the culés leaders would have free way to go to Mbappé .

A signing that, like Salah , would be a good blow to Florentino and Madrid , who also have one of their wishes inKylian .

The revolutionary plan C

Neither does Barça rule out a third way that would happen becausePhillippe Coutinho becomes the newNeymar J r and the club hired a midfielder to fill the gap left by Andres Iniesta . Names like Eriksen,  Pjanic, Thiago  or  Pogba have sounded in the Blaugrana offices.
