Not a bad decision for
Barcelona to sell
Griezmann to any club, The problem in my opinion is selling
Griezmann and replacing him with
Luuk de Jong (Sevilla player), this is very ridiculous in my opinion. Are
Barcelona out of their minds to buy quality strikers? Even
Luuk De Jong didn't play well enough at
Sevilla First of all, Barca didn't sold Griezmann, they loaned him to Atletico. Also, Barca can't afford to buy players now, so, they loaned de Jong from Sevilla. I agree that this transfer doesn't looks good, but it's reality of Barca now.
So, what we have in offense - Memphis, legendary Braithwaite, always injured Aguero and Dembele, not good enough for Sevilla de Jong and some kids. Barca fans, brace yourselves, winter is coming.
Technically Barca loaned him out, but logically they sold Griezmann, there's a compulsory clause added for Atletico to buy him next season, which I guess was done so that Atletico Madrid can have further opportunities to buy additional players and remain within FFP, in order words Barcelona sold Griezmann but are not going to get paid next season, something they had to agree so as to rid of his wages as well.
Luuk De Jong seem like a better choice imo, he's more of centre forward than Griezmann is, while the later is relatively not useful on the flank either, but since that can help reduce the situation of things at the club, then it is what it is.
