This summer, Paris Saint-Germain entered a new era. The club of the capital which wishes to give a new breath to its project recorded the arrivals of several elements in its workforce. Nevertheless, some players targeted by the management did not ultimately join the Ile-de-France city.

Among these players, we find Antoine Griezmann. Indeed, the star of the France team was targeted by the Parisian board which took some information from the player. The Colchoneros player had a €25m clause in his contract.

Despite these data, the red and blue did not take action for number 7 of the Blues. According to information from the newspaper theTeam, the decision-makers of PSG would have been cooled by the salary of Antoine Griezmann. The Parisian leaders have not planned in their budget to incorporate a large additional salary.

Under contract until June 2026 with Atletico Madrid, grizzoo should therefore stay a few more years in the Spanish capital before perhaps taking off for Saudi Arabia or the United States. The future will tell…

The Frenchman had also mentioned the Saudi attraction. The 2018 world champion includes players who decided to join the Gulf country during the offseason. “SIf this happened to me, I should tell my family and my children. These are very high numbers, they can give you some security. But not for now. First I want to make history and win trophies at Atleti. Afterwards, we’ll see… For me, it’s about doing better than last year and scoring 16 or 17 goals, which would make me the top scorer in club history. It’s something that excites me,” he said on ESPN.
