Antoine Griezmann s €120million switch from Atletico Madrid is every inch the modern Barcelona blockbuster transfer – something that does the player and the club no credit at all.
A week ago, like clockwork, Atleti s statement arrived, expressing the strongest disapproval of the behaviour of both [parties], especially FC Barcelona as they accused LaLiga s champions of reaching terms with their most-prized forward in March.
The next part of the dance followed last Sunday, when Griezmann somewhat inevitably failed to turn up for training with Atletico. His no-show was very much in keeping with that of fellow France international Ousmane Dembele, who was suspended for going AWOL at Borussia Dortmund before joining Barca for €105m in August 2017.

Arsene Wenger is still looking to strengthen his Arsenal squad, although he is coy on whether Mathieu Flamini could be among the additions.
The London club have been linked with moves for Wayne Rooney, Gonzalo Higuain and Luis Suarez during the close-season but Wenger has only made one signing so far 20-year-old Yaya Sanogo, who arrived on a free transfer from Auxerre.
