Messi or plan B to Griezmann that scares Florentino Pérez (and it's a bomb)

The Argentine star moves record before the uncertainty generated by the crack of the Athletic

Something fails. O Antoine Griezmann does not play fair or we are facing a new disaster in the sport management of Josep María Bartomeu and his board of directors at the head of FC Barcelona.

For months now, the hiring of Griezmannfor Barça has been practically done. Since last summer, when they began to move the strings. Or since the meeting that Bartomeu held in October with Maud Griezmann, the sister and agent of crack.

However, despite the many movements made, Griezmann continues to play cat and mouse. The leader of the French national team does not get wet.

Recently, Antoine recognized the media in his country that will reveal his future before the World Cup begins . There are only 10 days left .  The transfer market officially opens on July 1, date from which the Griezmann clause drops from 200 to 100 million euros.

Griezmann moves away from Barça 

Therefore, Barça will not be able to undertake the operation, in case the Little Prince finally agrees, for a month. However, he prefers to announce it earlier to stop the rumors.

At present, the World Cup is a priority for Griezmann , but he does not want to leave his future behind. The objective that has been marked is to close it as soon as possible and to be able to concentrate one hundred percent in the bleu.

Meanwhile, his fellow Barça in the selection, Samuel Umtiti and Ousmane Dembelé , try to convince him . Especially the first one.

Curiously, the three scored in the last friendly against Italy , leaving clear to the world the potential that Barça can have if the operation is closed.

Dembelé and the salary problem with Luis Suárez 

However, for Dembelé it is a complicated situation. On the one hand he wants it at Barça , but on the other he knows that it will be very negative for him because he will take away the ownership.

That, in case you actually sign. The problem is that in the last hours rumors grow that finally Griezmann will stay in the Atleti.

The salary offered by Enrique Cerezo is from another planet and not even Barça is willing to put so much money on the table. This would be a problem with other players.

If the costumes of Barça find out that a newcomer is paid more than Luis Suárez, Piqué or Busquets , there will be trouble. More than there are currently with some stagnant renovations.

Messi gets wet (but moves in the shade)

Therefore, Bartomeu is between the sword and the wall. And before his usual doubts, Griezmann irremediably moves away to where they are willing to give everything for him.

Not even the good words that Leo Messidedicated to him recently have finished convincing the mattress star. The Argentine star said that "Griezmann is one of the best players in the world " and that " the best are always welcome at Barça ".

But the Argentine star does not waste time. While the signing is not complete, you must have some alternative way. And so he has let Bartomeu know .

Messi believes that in case of not signing Griezmann, the club should go for another crack premier. And Dembelécould enter as currency.

Mbappé and Salah, the alternatives 

Since Neymar left , there is a huge gap in the attack of Barca. And someone should arrive this summer to make up for the absence. In these moments, there are two great candidates on Messi's table as an alternative to the signing of Griezmann.

The 'plan b' is Kylian Mbappé. The relations with the PSG are very cold, so it would be complicated, but Barca would propose a change Mbappé-Dembelésince Touchel trusts the French winger and would pay the difference. It is the most expensive option.

Another possibility would be to seal a barter with Liverpool. Mohamed Salahhas enamored the whole world this year with his football and has become a staunch enemy of Real Madrid.

The Egyptian crack does not forgive the ugly injury caused by Sergio Ramos and wants revenge. And the best way to obtain it would be wearing the Barça shirt 

To close this agreement, the Catalan club would offer Dembelé to Liverpool , as it is a player who also likes Jurgen Klopp. Equally, Barça would have to pay some money.

The third way: a midfielder 

The third way to Griezmann is not to sign any new striker, keep Dembelé on the squad and make him compete with Coutinho.

In this way, Coutinho would do more of Neymar than Iniesta and Barça would focus on strengthening the midfield with a player like Eriksen, Pjanic or Pogba.

The latter is the option that least convinces Messi , a supporter of having a lot of gunpowder up - but with a lot of defensive work on everyone's part - but it would give the team balance.
