IS €100M GRIEZMANN THE RIGHT MAN FOR BARCELONA AND MESSI

The France forward is out of frame and was shrieked by his own fans in the Madrid derby on Saturday, yet he remains an exchange focus for the Blaugrana 

These are attempting times for Antoine Griezmann at Atletico. The 26-year-old has not scored in any of his last eight appearances and was booed by his own supporters as he exited the contribute the goalless draw against Real Madrid on Saturday. 

Griezmann levels to score whenever v Roma 

The France forward is in his fourth season with the Rojiblancos, having chosen to remain in the mid year in light of the club's exchange boycott, yet he scarcely seemed inspired by the derby and the fans demonstrated their dissatisfaction as he was pulled back following 77 minutes. 

In my family I was shown that, when somebody is in the family, you bolster them until the passing," Atletico mentor Diego Simeone said after the match. "While they are one of the family." 

That last line was critical. Since it now looks likely that Griezmann will proceed onward toward the finish of the present battle. His discharge statement, which rose to €200 million the previous summer, will drop down to €100m in July and he remains a best exchange focus for Barcelona. 

The Catalan club were enthusiastic about marking the France forward the previous summer, however Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu concurred with Atletico to avoid Griezmann on account of the Rojiblancos' boycott and the Bluagrana sought after Ousmane Dembele and Philippe Coutinho rather following the takeoff of Neymar. 

Coutinho and Griezmann will be the two best focuses for the Liga pioneers in the mid year, with Barca very much aware that marking either player in the winter window will be practically inconceivable, while they would not have the capacity to highlight for the Blaugrana in the last phases of the Champions League regardless of the possibility that they were to arrive. 

"Despite the fact that I am deficient with regards to titles (he has won just the Spanish Supercopa at Atletico), I have everything to be glad here," Griezmann says in his new book, which turned out this week. In any case, he includes: "That doesn't mean I won't abandon one day. I haven't settled on a choice. It will all rely upon a few components." 

What's more, Atleti colleague Koke said as of late: "He had the opportunity to leave after the last season, yet he didn't. So I feel that implies he enjoys it here. We generally say on the off chance that some person doesn't care for it here, he's allowed to clear out. The club and I need the best, we need conferred players 

In the interim, Jose Mourinho stays inspired by marking the Frenchman and Griezmann says in his book. "I haven't got anything against England, aside from the atmosphere. Manchester United is a plausibility." 

Genuine Madrid have additionally considered a move, yet Griezmann knows he will end up being an open foe number one to the Atletico fans on the off chance that he changes to the Rojiblancos' opponents. Barcelona, in any case, is an alternative in the event that he needs to remain in Spain - where he has played his whole profession (for Real Sociedad and Atleti). 

Be that as it may, would Griezmann fit in at Barcelona? Numerous supporters have been put off by the Frenchman's current presentations and there are likewise still a few questions about his capacity to perform when it is important most, having missed a punishment in the 2016 Champions League last and neglected to convey for France in the Euro 2016 masterpiece against Portugal that same summer.

Valverde

Valverde likes having distinctive strategic alternatives available to him and has utilized 4-4-2, 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 this season. Griezmann could work on either wing, as a solitary striker or in an association in advance nearby Luis Suarez, with Messi in a more profound part. He is adaptable, still youthful, and one of the finest advances around when on shape. 

He has not turned into a poor player over night (having hit 25 objectives or more in each of his last three seasons) either and at Barca, the group's additional imagination implies he would have numerous more possibilities that he does at Atletico, where he may profit later this season by connecting up with Diego Costa. 

Regardless of the possibility that he does, Atleti are nearly end from the Champions League and seem far-fetched to challenge for La Liga, so a move to Camp Nou could entice Griezmann, who is anxious to win titles and furthermore prefers living in Spain. Regardless of whether it is the correct one for Barcelona, be that as it may, stays to be seen.
