How Griezmann Has Brought Tension and Division at Barcelona

It is very interesting to hear news pop ups from the Barcelona’s camp. Each and every day comes with its own interesting news.

Of course Barca had a challenging moment towards the end of their 2018-19 campaign albeit starting it well.

The Blaugrana had a dream of winning treble this season just like any other big club. It wasn’t a bad ambition, I guess!

But things turned around towards the end of the season with the club only managing to clinch the La Liga trophy.

Liverpool terribly humiliated Valverde’s boys by overturning 3-0 home advantage to 4-0 defeat at Anfield to successfully bundle them out of the Champions League competition.

To add hot coal on their open wounds, Valencia thrashed the Messi-led team 2-1 to deny them the Copa Del Rey Cup, a title that they thought will help them regain their face after losing it at Anfield.

For that reason, they had embarked on a plan to revamp the club’s loophole in this summer to fill the voids that could have led to their terrible finals.

According to reports, Barcelona have been on the look for sensational strikers to help Messi since they spotted that as the main challenge they faced.

And since Atletico Madrid ace Antonio Griezmann announced his desire to quite his club this summer, Barca have been actively linked with the Frenchman.

Though Griezmann’s coming to Barca has sparked a lot of mixed reactions at Nou Camp and many are apparently divided on whether he should join the camp.

Report showed that players like Messi were opposed to his coming because he snubbed the club last season and decided to stay at Atletico with reasons best known to him.

But the club’s president Josep Bartomeu together with fans have been advocating for the signature of the French sensation.

Nonetheless, it is reported that even the board is divided regarding his coming.

Rejection of the locker-room and of the fans and divergences in the board of directors, this is the state that the Blaugrana are currently at.

Next step?

Reports also emerged that Barca had secured Griezmann’s signature in March, an allegation that Barca have rubbished. All eyes are waiting to see if Griezmann will end up being signed by Barca.
