Enrique Cerezo has always kept the doors open to a return of Antoine Griezmann to Atlético. The president of the rojiblanco team is aware of the level shown by the French forward in his five seasons at the club before leaving for Barcelona and now, when negotiations are open, He has once again stated that, for his part, he would be welcome.
Atlético and Barcelona have been negotiating a barter for days that It would finish with Griezmann back to the rojiblanco club and with Saúl from blaugrana. Despite the complexity of the operation, Cerezo does not give up the possibility that it will be carried out. “In the world of football, anything can happen”, Cerezo explained in the presentation of the VIII edition of the Platino Awards. Despite the fact that it seems that bartering has slowed down in recent days, Atlético continues to try to find a reinforcement in attack and Saúl is his asset after having shown his interest in going out.
For its part, Barcelona needs to release footballers from its squad to to be able to register Messi again after the end of his contract. And Griezmann is one of the highest salaries. The Blaugrana team has joined the Kun Agüero and Memphis Depay in attack and counted on adding Wijnaldum to his midfield, but the Dutchman ended up signing for PSG, so he needs a medium to arrive. An exchange that seems very difficult, but as Cerezo indicates, it is still possible.
