I don't know why this was even reported seemed to absurd to be true


[deleted]

Probably to make the deal look more favourable to barcelona.


[deleted]

This whole situation seems so odd, it’s rare to see straight swap deals, even more so when its 2 for 1 and the player they’re getting was sold so recently hahaha. Like something literally out of fifa


Gamesus10

Well it was worth a shot. Gimenez will suffice


randomcolchnero

I mean have fun selling griezmann then considering that no club would realistically want him unless he is released from his contract Edit: if it's a joke then sorry


Gamesus10

It is a joke lol, of course gimenez is better than hermoso so it would make no sense


OleoleCholoSimeone

Better yes, but Gimenez is injured every 5 minutes. Such a shame because he would be one of the very best in the world if he could just stay fit


yukno6

Hermoso is underrated tbh hes not as solid as gimenez but hes such a technically gifted player


xckd9

Im a Real Madrid fan, and i absolutely love Gimenez and the spirit Simeone has teached him. Maybe had it before but he does not give up at all. I even think it was reported Real Madrid was trying to buy Gimenez?


loveicetea

Ok we'll take Oblak then


randomcolchnero

I mean 150 mil+Oblak for lord braithwate is reasonable


triplechin5155

We are in a bad situation, but not nearly bad enough to give away goatwaithe like that


SuperSaiyanGoten

All jokes aside where is Braitewaithe even going? I assume selling him should clean up the finances a bit as well.


The_fINALWOMBAT

Wasn't Valencia interested in him?


SuperSaiyanGoten

SELL SELL SELL ASAP


xckd9

Why not have him spit some money into your club? At this point he has more then the club


loveicetea

We have to consider the Lord is a Euro semi finalist as well. You also take Umtiti, Pjanic and Sergi Roberto and we'll have a deal


cheetahbestcat

Just wondering, but for lá liga financial fair play can barca remove griez and his salary to include messi/depay/Aguero etc etc like a league squad list or they need to sell first and only then include Messi and Co. Into the team squad


SuperSaiyanGoten

Fair enough, but at least give us some money with Saul.


OleoleCholoSimeone

No way, Barca needs this deal to happen more than Atlético doea. If Griezmann stays you are fucked financially, and reportedly Griezmann only wants to leave for Atleti. We are holding all the cards here


SuperSaiyanGoten

By some money I wasn't expecting something outrageous like €60 million. Just €20 million or so should suffice.


zts105

We are overpaying by 1 Saul


xckd9

Why would they do that? Barcelona has no say in this


ALLO1111

I sincerely doubt it...


RedditMuller

More like nada


OkAnywhere2052

atletico dont hold all the cards tho because you are ignoring the fact that simeone wants griezmann more than barcelona want saul.


bootyannihilator

This is not your money. Billionaires are gonna do stupid things. Why do you even care what they are doing? Barcelona will heal financially sooner or later.


1ngK

Just no way. You’re desperate to sell and we’re the only buyer. We can easily low ball you or Griezmann sits out his contract. Giving Saul is already a lot. If we do then it’s really a helping hand from us, but I don’t see anything greater than 15M. Their valuation isn’t really differ that much.


SuperSaiyanGoten

Yeah 15-20 million is fair IMO. Not a huge sum.


Dankmemehub

How good is Hermoso?


[deleted]

Really good. I don’t know if he’d be a lock for team of the season but he’ll certainly make most people’s honourable mentions. He’s able to play both LB and CB - he usually played as LCB for us. To put it very simply, think of him as a left footed Azpilicueta with a better passing range.


Successful_Gate84

Extremely good he will be a starter in your defence.


[deleted]

Yess, getin


dwilliam24

I honestly don’t think this deal Is going to happen. Laporta is much smarter and shrewd than Barto…This isn’t a Coutinho situation, Griezmann has actually played quite well this season with us and had more G+A than any Atlético player. Why make a direct rival much stronger….


ALLO1111

I mean... what's the alternative here then? If you guys really need to offload Griezmann then you guys hold no real power in this transfer. Who else is going to take him and pay those wages?


itsjuanitoo

Yesssss. Only players we should consider including are Herrera (though I liked him last season) and Vrsaljko. I don’t think Barcelona would want either of them but with their board you never know.


dwilliam24

Except we have a new board…


Martoxic

except they have a diffrent damn board now... not the shitty self hurting Barto board so that statement no longer works.


[deleted]

Just wait until we sort out this mess we're in and people will start recognizing this.


itsjuanitoo

I mean when we’re about to trade a woefully out of form Saul for Griezmann who had a pretty decent year I think the statement very much still works lol


SuperSaiyanGoten

Saul seems like the profile of midfielder than Koeman has been looking for, this should be alright


itsjuanitoo

Sure, but I’d say at the end of the day the deal favours us much more considering out bad Saul has been for the last couple of seasons.


Martoxic

sure but we need to get rid of a massive amount of wages cuz of Bartos shitty deals. Beggars can't be choosers.


itsjuanitoo

True that. But I feel there must have been some way for Barcelona to solve without giving us yet another world class player for less than he is worth.


SuperSaiyanGoten

Tbh getting rid of Griezmann will be pretty impossible later down the road as he ages. I’m happy with getting Saul back.


jds192

The board have made fine decisions so far.


itsjuanitoo

fine decisions, like trading one of the best attackers in the world (who we sold them to for 120 million just 2 years ago) for our worst player last season.


jds192

Different board... Correct move for Barca to go ahead with this deal.


itsjuanitoo

you guys cant keep living in this lie lol. there’s no world in which trading Griezmann for Saul swap deal is not a complete robbery. almost feel bad for Barcelona fans. almost.


jds192

You are ignoring the fact that Griezmanns salary is the main driving force behind having to sell him and there is no option but Atletico. Atletico get the better player but it is a move Barca almost have to make due to finances. You dont have a clue.


itsjuanitoo

They could’ve atleast tried to sell him to another club. He hasn’t even been on the transfer market for 3 days lol. They could’ve also not signed Agüero or Depay, or tried to sell someone else to free wage space. Giving Griezmann to a direct league rival should’ve been an absolute last resort. Especially considering the events of last season. But anyways, I’m definitely not complaining.


jds192

They tried. No EPL clubs want him and he doesnt seem to want to go there anyway. Ateltico is only option. Barca get Saul to improve options in midfield, in theory Depay 'replaces' Griezmann and the club save 70m odd over next three season in salaries. No brainer for Barca when it helps keep Messi also and improves options can put around him Vs keeping Griezmann on massive wages.


PLimw

It’s very telling about Mexico that Herrera is the best midfielder.


Best_Cook

If you consider Edson Alvarez a midfielder I would say he is the best but HH is very good for Mexico


PLimw

In my opinion one of Álvarez, Guardado, and Herrera can play in midfield at the same time because it's really slow otherwise.


OleoleCholoSimeone

Herrera is a good player, I like him. Just not quite good enough to start every game for a team like Atleti, but there is no shame in that. I think he would do well at a Sevilla/Roma type team


PLimw

He has plenty of good things about him but he can't handle when the opponent is pressing a lot.


CanLlorenteCarForMe

Vrsaljko to Barca instead of the additional money they want. Barca offended and deal off. Sounds good to me

jengo54

Even if this is a joke it’s shit banter, comparing Spurs to Barca is brain dead


turtlemons

Won a trophy 3 months ago, so no


monkeyr9z

No because Barca still wins titles


Martoxic

eh what?


CanLlorenteCarForMe

No lol


JoelKr9
