Looming Bankruptcy Forces Barcelona to Sell Griezmann, Coutinho and Dembele

Leo Messi has agreed to sign a new contract with 50% pay cut, which is still expensive by the way. Bankruptcy threatened Barcelona’s financial crisis could see big stars like Antoine Griezmann, Ousmane Dembele and Philippe Coutinho leave this summer to reduce wage bill.

Lionel Messi’s future at the Nou Camp appears all-but assured. But Barcelona will only be able to invest in further additions to their squad by arranging some significant departures.

Griezmann is undoubtedly the most eye-catching name among the group due to the massive £100m+ (€120m) investment it took to sign him from Atletico Madrid just two years ago. He was then the fifth-most expensive transfer of all time.

L’Equipe says Barcelona have reached out to Spurs and Manchester City to offer Griezmann after making similar approaches to Atletico Madrid and Juventus.

Antoine Griezmann

Tottenham have been ‘offered’ Antoine Griezmann but the transfer has already hit stumbling block.

Barcelona are keen to sell the French forward this summer and have approached Spurs.

Tottenham are one of the clubs who have been contacted by Barcelona to gauge interest over the signing of Antoine Griezmann this summer.

Barca are desperately trying to offload some of their highest earners amid a financial crisis and Griezmann is currently top of the club’s.

The Spanish giants find themselves in a serious mess this summer and need to sell some of their current players just to continue operating.

On the one hand, Barcelona have announced the signings of Memphis Depay, Sergio Aguero and Eric Garcia, brought Emerson Royal back to the club from a loan spell and agreed a new contract with Lionel Messi.

On the other hand, none of those players are officially Barcelona players because they cannot register them due to their financial predicament.

That is because Barca have a whopping £1,003million (€1,173m) of debt hanging over their head and owe £276m (€323m) in transfer fees and player amortization.

They need to get around £171m (€200m) off their wage bill this summer just to meet La Liga’s strict salary cap for the 2021/22 season.

Griezmann is one of the highest-paid players in world football and Barcelona also need to cut down their wage bill, which led to recent discussions over a potential exchange that would have seen his return to Atletico and Saul Niguez join Barca – the clubs were unable to come to an agreement.

The likes of Griezmann, Ousmane Dembele and Philippe Coutinho come in; Barcelona would like to sell them, but are struggling to find buyers.

Jude Bellingham the best player in the world right now?

Published

Right now yes because of the impact he has at both Real Madrid and the national team. What I like about him is that he knows there is always room to improve and I’m sure he’s gonna get even better. He’s only 20 years old. He’s learning from another two masters such as Modric and Kroos. If he continues like this the amount that Madrid had to pay for him will be consider a bargain.

No matter how many times it’s brought up, it still boggles that mind that Jude Bellingham is only 20. The latest chapter in the generational talent’s likely-to-be legendary career was dominating a 3-1 victory for England over Italy at Wembley Stadium. Bellingham was sublime throughout, with the result booking the Three Lions’ place at Euro 2024.

Why Jadon Sancho is refusing to apologise to ten Hag

If you actually watch the man (not a boy) and appreciate what he is doing it is great but it’s just the start. There’s always someone who stands out in a team. Jude exudes confidence and has a very level head. Without injuries he may end up being one of the most decorated English players ever. It’s just a shame that Real Madrid got him rather than Liverpool. Haha!

Sancho Pushes Man Utd to Sign Jude Bellingham in Summer

Yeah right now, hes the best player in the world. A 20 year old playing like a 30 year old vet. Creates chances, scores goals, team player, passes well, great awareness, ball skills are on point.. everything.

Toni Kroos mocks Eden Hazard after Jude Bellingham Deal

At the moment Mbappe is the best and if he moves to Real Madrid you will see him establish that no.1 position for, at least, the next few years. I also think Mbappe will take centre stage at Madrid which always helps at these sorts of clubs when it comes to the ballon d’or. Jude’s time will come but not just yet.

Arguments for Guirassy at Stuttgart and Sané at Bayern being the only players more in form than Bellingham at the moment. As for best in world, it is still hard to look past Mbappé.

Jude Bellingham Unveiled As New Real Madrid Player

That’s what English pundits and media like to do. Hype their players who are in form as if they are the next Messi or Ronaldo. No doubt Jude has immense talent, and potential to be an all-time great, but how many young players were called that. He probably is in the best form, but not even 1/3 of the season is over and he is the best player already? Come on. What has he won, Halaand won a treble, Mbappe won a World Cup and was in the last final.

Eden Hazard and Philippe Coutinho Are the Biggest La Liga Flops of the Season

Eden will surely be missed, It was pure pleasure delight to have been a fan All the best to him and family henceforth Love u Hazard.
Sad, his career essentially finished after the 2018-19 season, he was an incredible player at his best such a pity he didn’t have a long time at the top and such a pity he didn’t try to revive his career in the last couple of years.

Chelsea vs Real Madrid 2-0 Champions League Semifinal 2nd Leg 2021

I really enjoyed seeing his dazzling skills, especially when he was at Chelsea. I had looked forward to seeing him do the same at Real Madrid, but unfortunately the number and type of injuries that he suffered, really affected him from showing his potential in La Liga.
I’m very sad to see him

Lucky enough to see him play live. One of the most talented footballers to have ever played the game. I’ll never forget the game when Chelsea trashed Everton and the 1-2’s with Pedro for him to score the 4th goal of the match.

At his peak one of the very best about, and he’s right up there alongside Rooney and Fabregas as one of the best 16-17 year old players I’ve ever seen play the game at full professional level.
