Atletico Madrid looking to sell Antoine Griezmann because of his €33m salary budget

Atletico Madrid have found themselves in a messy situation as their over-the-budget wage bill is not allowing them to sign any players.

According to Partidazo Cope, Diego Simeone’s side have exceeded the La Liga wage bill of €100m – stopping them from signing free agent Axel Witsel.

La Liga are allegedly counting Antoine Griezmann’s loan signing from Barcelona – which is poised to be completed next year for around €40m.

As a result, Griezmann’s massive wage demands means he is taking up around €33m of their salary limit by himself.

That’s why Atletico are looking to sell the French international this season because or else they can’t register new signings into their squad.

Griezmann made 39 appearances for Simeone’s side last season, scoring 8 goals and registering 7 assists.
