It seems atletico is fu*** with salary cap, and they need to trim 100mil of saleries.

This idiot is earning 33mil per season, and they want to get rid of him.

Worst player ever that wa earning so much money.

Glad board saw opurtunity, 40mil for this disaster of player is 30mil more then he is worth.

However according to Alexis Martin, as referenced by Mundo Deportivo, Atletico Madrid have told Griezmann that they are not relying on him this season. It is not yet known whether manager Diego Simeone is of the same opinion.

Sport go on to say that Atletico Madrid are reluctant to pay the €40m fee they could be due to Barcelona at the end of the season. If Griezmann plays at least 45 minutes in 50% of the matches he is available for across the two years of his loan, then Los Rojiblancos would be due the significant outlay contractually.

As pointed out, Griezmann reached that figure 33 times out of 40 last season (82.5%), meaning it would have to be a significantly lower figure this season. It may be that they merely open talks with Barcelona to try and lower the fee.
