Barcelona preparing lawsuit against Atletico Madrid, expecting €40 million Griezmann payout

[ad_1]

The legal services of the azulgrana club argue that last season already “fulfilled the necessary condition for the payment of 40 million euros to occur.

Barca is going all out for Atlético de Madrid. The azulgrana club has had enough of the colchonero club’s teasing in relation to the situation of Antoine Griezmann, who was loaned for two seasons, with a compulsory purchase option that Atleti is trying not to execute now aligning the Frenchman from the 60th minute of each match. Barça already summoned Atletico Madrid to announce to them that in his year on loan (which was last season), the player Griezmann already fulfilled the necessary condition for the payment of the 40 million euros, to play more than 50% of the time of the matches in the season he was on loan. Specifically, he reached 80%.

The details of the contract were: one-year loan, plus a possible extension to extend for one more year. This condition for the second year was executed if in the first year he played more than 50% of the minutes (in matches in which he was available). Therefore, in the first year, as interpreted by Barça’s legal services, Griezmann has already more than fulfilled this condition.

In fact, for Barça it is now absolutely irrelevant whether Griezmann plays from the 60th, 65th or 90th minute. The condition of the percentage of minutes affected the year he was on loan, which was last season.

The loan was for one year, not two seasons, which is why the azulgrana club insists that it has every chance of winning in court. Afterwards, there was an extension that could be given or not depending on whether or not he met certain parameters.

Consequently, Barça’s legal services are preparing the corresponding lawsuit to enforce the payment of 40 million euros, against the refusal of Atletico in this interpretation: the time to play more than 50% corresponded only to the first year of assignment.

Barça communicated that having fulfilled the condition of the first year, the player was already to all intents and purposes an Atlético player.
