I think he is a legend solely for the fact that he got Barca to pay €120 million for him just for them to sell him a few years later for €20 million.
0 league title is not a legend here
In return for Griezmann we got: Suarez, a league title and Griezmann back 2 years later. So Barca gave us La Liga plus 120M for a 2 year Griezmann loan, whilst breaking his confidence to the point that he begged to come back on a much lower salary
One of the best transfer deals ever, and the truth is that we would never have been able to keep Griezmann long term on the wages he was previously on. He was earning 700k/week before joining Barca, more than Ronaldo earned at any point with Madrid
Excuse me what? 700.000 euros a week? Dafuck? And how much did he earn by moving to Barca?
I think he took a pay cut moving to Barca
His pay was initially lower but afaIk his contract was structured in a way that over time his wages would rise to 700.000 and then above and at end of his contract he would’ve earned the same as if he always got 700.000 euros per week for the whole duration of his contract.
least short-term focused barca financial plan
It really was all a communication trick. They milked the whole "Griezmann wanted to come to Barcelona so much he took a pay cut" narrative, until the details started to leak in the press.
He took a pay cut to play for Barcelona, he earned more at Atlético before and after the transfer.
It's like you're just making stuff up to pretend you're right lol.
I assume he means lower than what his salary originally was at Atletico
It's like you can't read and are arguing against thin air
You’re absolutely on to nothing except the fact that you robbed us. You convienently leave out the facts that you spent 126M of those money on a Much worse player also on big wages, whom you Cant get rid of and that suarez came to you a year after which had nothing to do with the griezmann transfer. But Yeah absolutely one of the best transfers ever, go on with that mental gymnastic
700k??
The final days of that 2020/21 La Liga season were pure fucking magic. Seeing Luis Suarez absolutely rifling them in for Atletico right after he was unceremonially dispensed with by Barcelona gave me life.
And, correct me if I'm wrong, he's better than ever before right now
One of the most in form players in the world rn
Top 5 player for sure
stonks
Sucks that we wasted all his money on Joao Felix, who was bought specifically to replace Griezmann.
Who, ironically, is now at Barca
He-Hey Sports, it's in the game.
Nah his legend status was forever tainted when he joined barca
