Come to compensate for the departure of Saul Niguez at Chelsea, Antoine Griezmann will try to revive in Madrid within a team, led by coach - Diego Simeone - who appreciates his profile, after two delicate seasons at Barça, where he struggled to integrate.
The coach of the Catalan club, Ronald Koeman, justified his departure by the possibility of saving a significant salary while FC Barcelona is encountering significant economic difficulties.
