DonAK
President of FC Barcelona
I don't really rate October rumors, but there's a report claiming Barcelona have contacted The Griez' entourage to discuss a summer transfer what would cost 100m(his buyout). Reportedly don't want to make the same mistakes they did in the past when they passed over players who wanted to play for this club like Asensio. An investment in Griezmann is not going to affect a midfield signing.
Even if that report is not true which tend to be the case this time of the year.....the fact is that Griezmann is likely to leave Atletico in the summer for said amount. They have secured Diego Costa and would be looking reinvest that money knowing the inevitable is going to happen.
Simple question really, but I ask you take certain conditions into consideration.
First all, before you hit the Yes/No button,
Assume we'll play with a similar system where Messi is in center so consider compatibility and experience as well.
Then consider other alternatives in the market, Timo Werner, Belotti, who would both cost in the excess of 70m themselves. Consider their suitability, current level and experience. Would it be better for Barcelona to go with a proven class player right now during Messi's last peak years or should we sign a young striker right away even if he might need 2-3 years to get to his best level?
Would it make more sense to sign Griezmann and wait to see if a young striker in La Masia like Abel Ruiz makes it, or assess the market the next 3-4 years, perhaps even wait to see if Mbappe is willing to move, or go for a young striker now?
Also consider Suarez' age and struggles. This poll is not asking whether Suarez should be sold and he might still get back to a better level, but we're likely still seeing a decline.
