Good for the league indeed. Gives us a kick in the butt too, not that we haven't gotten one from Real Madrid already.

The journalist also explained that Atletico will take the fee out of Griezmann's new deal. Therefore, instead of getting the 23 million annually agreed, he will receive 19 million per year over five years -- Atletico will take back four million each season.

According to this report in Sport, Atl. Madrid will compensate Barca with 20 mil. euros for for Griezmman not going through with the switch to us.

According to Inda, this was one of the conditions Griezmann put forward before signing his new terms. If he stayed at Atletico, the Madrid-based club would have to pay 20 million to Barça as a penalty for him breaking the pre-contract agreement he had with the Catalan club.

This sounds absolutely insane, Atl. Madrid would never pay us a single pesos for making contact with one of their players, rather they would report us to FIFA/CAS if anything.
 
If true then Griezmann chose ATM for 4m more per year. Had Barca offered Suarez salary, he would've had much less reason to choose ATM.

If true.

Sounds like bullshit. We supposedly had such a contract with Neymar back then but i doubt Griezmann signed something like that and that whole thing sounds illegal or at least shady as fuck so if anything Atletico would probably take us to court first.

Gil Marin (Atlético Madrid president): "We will evaluate whether or not to file a complaint against FC Barcelona for having negotiated with Griezmann, we have proof of the contacts." [ser via @gerardromero]

Atletico is being a jerk if true. They got what they wanted and kept Griezmann and now they want to report us to get us banned?

I care if we get banned.

Look at the positives. That would probably mean the end for Barto and co. Barca and Atleti always had a good relationship, that is until Barto came to power, he must have really fucked shit up, for them to consider reporting Barca.

We will never get rid of them.

Rossell went to fucking JAIL and we still did not get rid of him and Farto. Laporta needs to bring his A-game come next election and not be lazy about it this time around. Last election I got the feeling that he thought he would win by his last name alone; he clearly underestimated how retarded most Catalan culés are. Farto went campaigning and signed Arda and was lucky that MSN won us that treble - everything went Farto's way, but Laporta did not make it easier on himself.
