Regularly associated with PSG during his career, Antoine Griezmann never joined the capital club. In 2020, all the lights were green but Neymar's aborted transfer to Barça ruined everything.
This Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain will face Atlético de Madrid led by a certain Antoine Griezmann in the Champions League. A special match against a French club for the former vice-captain of the Blues, especially since “Grizou” could have signed for PSG a few years ago. In today's edition, L'Equipe tells us that in 2020, Leonardo tried the very nice move Antoine Griezmann. The French attacking midfielder was dragging his spleen at FC Barcelona, where he never managed to establish himself or acclimatize and PSG tried to recover him to compensate for a potential upcoming departure of Neymar. Because while Griezmann was dragging his pain and misfortune in Catalonia, the Brazilian from Paris SG only dreamed of one thing… returning to Barça.
PSG tried Griezmann in 2020
Leonardo therefore tried to send Neymar back to Barcelona with the aim of bringing in Griezmann afterwards. An operation which would undoubtedly have made PSG supporters happy but which did not materialize, because the Catalan club did not have the financial means to assume a return of “Ney” and his colossal salary. The Griezmann operation was therefore put on hold and we do not know in any case if the current playmaker of Atlético de Madrid would have given his agreement to join the French capital, because the discussions were not thorough far enough to have the answer. Whatever the case, today it is the colors of his favorite club that Griezmann is defending, namely Atlético de Madrid… future opponent of Paris SG this Wednesday in a highly anticipated shock in the Champions League.
