Spanish journalists reveal that Griezmann's buyout fee has dropped from 40 million to 28 million

So far in La Liga in the new season, Griezmann has only played less than 30 minutes in most of the games while he is in good shape and still favored by coach Simeone. The reason for this situation is that there is a buyout clause in Atletico Madrid's loan Griezmann's contract to Barcelona that determines whether to trigger a 40 million purchase based on the number of appearances and time.


Atletico Madrid tried to control Griezmann's playing time to circumvent the buyout clause. According to Spanish reporters, Griezmann's buyout fee has been reduced from 40 million to 28 million. If the news is true, it would be beneficial in many ways.


For Barcelona , if the buyout fee is not reduced, Atletico Madrid is likely to continue to control Griezmann's playing time and send him back to Camp Nou next summer without triggering the buyout clause. Therefore, Barcelona seems to be sacrificing 12 million, but it is actually getting rid of sky-high-paid players. After all, Griezmann will have one year left on his contract , he is 32 years old, and the salary is very high, which will become a very headache for Barcelona.


As for Atletico Madrid, Griezmann can be bought at a reduced price, and Griezmann can also regain a lot of playing time, which are all beneficiaries.


In addition, the French national team also benefits. Griezmann plays an important role in Deschamps' tactics. If he can only play for 30 minutes per game, it will have an impact on the core playing method and state. Therefore, Barcelona is willing to reduce the price, and many parties will achieve a winning situation.
