Catalan does not want to step on the same rake twice in a row.
As previously reported by Football. ua, Catalan Barcelona put forward Antoine Griezmann on the transfer market, without waiting for the final decision on the extension of Lionel Messi's contract with the club.
At the same time, “Blaugranas” artificially narrowed the circle of possible contenders for the acquisition of the French striker, excluding the clubs of the Spanish La Liga.
Apparently, the Barcelona leadership learned from the experience of parting with Luis Suarez, who left the team at the beginning of last season, moving to Atletico Madrid, with whom he later became the champion of the country.
According to the Spanish resource Sport. es, Barcelona's management has already received an offer to buy back Griezmann from Atletico, but the desire to part with the footballer, whose salary for the season is 25 million euros, was not strong enough to make an oversight similar to the situation with the transfer of Suarez.
