Laporta is eager to sell the Frenchman, but the Old Lady from Turin don't have enough money
It started as a rumour, but Joan Laporta's desire to sell Antoine Griezmann took on more straightforward outlines. Catalan newspaper Sport writes today that the French striker could eventually end up at Juventus as a potential successor to Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Italian media have been speculating about the Portuguese case for a long time. He agrees to leave this summer if Juventus don't book a place in the Champions League in the last round of Serie A. However, if that doesn't happen, Griezmann won't go to Turin either. That's quite clear.

Hence bringing Griezmann would really make sense. Juve in the rush hour have no better options.
However, there is no money to bring him immediately. Sport writes that Juve could only get the Frenchman on a one-year loan first and then buy him. However, they would have to pay him the entire salary, which is around 20,000,000 euros in Barcelona.
It is not yet clear whether Griezmann himself would be willing to pursue a career in Turin.

Because even though he may not be that calibre football player, Felix is eight years younger.
