Antoine Griezmann

Sorry, just cant wrap my head around it..

why? its not like we already closed the deal and we know we paid that amount. Atletico have good reasons to put a quite high buy out clause, as a club Cheslea dont have to pay that if they think its too high. If Chelsea dont want to pay it, and the player wants the move, its up to everybody involved to negotiate with ATM for a lower price. ATM just makes sure they'll get some serious money for their players if they dont want to lose them. Maybe they placed this high buy out clause on Griezmann because of how we took Costa and Luis.

I just think it's too much mate. especially with superagents getting involved that aim to hike up the price further...

It's like Griezmann = Costa + Filipe Luis

Sorry, just cant wrap my head around it..

Ah, yes. It's depend on what you think though. I think it's still reasonable number for a player who has score 22 in 34 games in La Liga, despite most not playing as a lead striker. Also he is still 24. We could easily get our money back or even higher, considering what we did with Mata, Luiz, Schurrle, etc.

Actually we have a bit part of making price inflated several years ago. But recently, thanks to Man City, the price even more crazier nowadays.

I just think 43.5 mln is too high.

If we get him for significantly less, then I CAN WRAP MY HEAD around it.

That's why Mourinho send Mendes to negotation and make deal for lower price.

[Mechromancer 262]

Well, that is pretty big. Looks promising, if Mendes is involved, of course. Maybe the player is already blue.

[LondonsFinest 692]

Not only that, but I pretty much think Filipe will be involved in the deal. So I wouldn't be surprised if we manage to nick him for 20 mil. + Filipe. That's a bit of a dream scenario, but still.

You also got to consider the lengt of the contract he has left.

If it was only something like 2 years, the player can put pressure on the club by not signing an extension which mean they would get a lot less if they sell a year later when he only has one year remaining, but Griezmann still has 4 years left. They could refuse to sell for 2 more years without his value dropping.

That being said, i believe we can get a better deal than the reported buy-out clause but i wouldn't be surprised if it is more than 32 M

5 actually. He signed a six-year deal when he joined Atletico - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2709575/Antoine-Griezmann-signs-six-year-deal-Atletico-Madrid-completes-24million-Spanish-champions.html

would he be the best looking player at chelsea?

[chrismada9 1,948]

I can already hear our fans chanting his name...

"Oh Antoine Griezmann;

You are the love of my life

Oh Antoine Griezmann;

I'd let you shag my wife

Oh Antoine Griezmann;

I want stylish hair too!"

I wonder if the Reus to atletico could come to fruition when Griezman leaves...

I think they're after a CF more. Cavani is the name being mentioned.

Thought atletico was going for the kid from villarel?

I presume you're talking about Vietto. I wasn't aware of their interest in him. Atletico are know for buying big money strikers.

Vietto and Simeone worked before, so the move is very possible. And if it does happen, you can bet Vietto will be 40m+ rated in few years haha.

Him and Dybala are the future for Argentina.

[Madmax 9,219]

Haha, not for Cuadrado!

...or should I say, CRUDrado...

I'll get my coat.

Please, can we make "Que?drado" a thing? I was really pleased when I came up with it after the Liverpool game. Or maybe it was the beer.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

I wouldnt be surprised if this deal will be closed in upcoming weeks. Atletico is trying to improve his contract and we will have to act quick if we want him. That is IF we are realy interested and rumours arent just bullshit.
