Griezmann's continuity would mean another salary cut at Barcelona

Antoine Griezmann's continuity at Barcelona remains a question mark ahead of the 2021-22 season. And the fact is that the financial situation is not looking good for a Barcelona side that is juggling finances.

After the Euros, the French striker was integrated into the pre-season training of the Catalan side and even had his first minutes of the summer in the recent match against Girona.

The player from Macon is being offered as a bargaining chip in different swaps and Barca seem willing to listen to offers for him, but his reluctance to leave for a club other than Atletico Madrid complicates the possible transfer of the Frenchman.

With that, it is becoming increasingly likely that Griezmann will remain at Camp Nou, although Barca must do something to keep the Frenchman, sign the new arrivals and renew Messi.

In this sense, according to 'Sport', the only option for the Frenchman to continue and not cause a problem in the other two priority issues of the club is a new salary reduction for the whole club.

The club is already in talks with the captains of the team to discuss their particular situations, but in order to balance everything it would be necessary for the whole squad to accept another reduction in their emoluments.

A solution that seems complicated to achieve and even more so with time running against them, as August is already on the horizon and Barcelona are still not sure which players Ronald Koeman will have at his disposal for the new season.
