Antoine Griezmann, how great it is you’re leaving
The French striker failed miserably at Barca and was an economic millstone
Finally, Barcelona have been able to rid themsleves of one of the most expensive and destabilising signings in recent years.
The deal for Griezmann to go to Atletico permanently for 20m euros puts a full stop on a history of shame, starting with the documentary, and this ending is good for Laporta and Co, who can incorporate a reasonable fee while ridding themselves of a toxic asset.
Sometimes the board aggrandise the concept of a poisoned inheritance to justify their actions, but in the Griezmann case they are right. A signing which had everything that should never be repeated again.
