Madrid - Antoine Griezmann becomes Atletico Madrid's most talked about player of his future. Filipe Luis admits the price of his team-mate was too cheap.
Griezmann is said to be leaving Atletico for Barcelona in the summer. Rumors have grown since last summer after the Blaugrana lost Neymar, but strengthened at the end of this season.
The reason is none other because the Griezmann release clause will drop dramatically in the summer. Currently the clause is still at 200 million euros, but it will drop to only half after this season ends.
With that price, Griezmann will undoubtedly be a good bargain purchase for top clubs. Filipe Luis also admitted it.
But for now Atletico called Filipe not thinking about the issue, including Griezmann himself.
"Griezmann is cheap, of course, at a price of 100 million euros in this transfer market, it would be cheaper to see him perform well in the Europa League final," Filipe told Sky Sports.
"That's the reality, but neither Griezmann nor we think about it, after the finals, yes, but not before that, without a doubt he's been the decisive player for us this season."
"So we want him to survive, but what happens after that is something that is completely separate from what happened this week," he added.
Atletico will face Olympique Marseille in the Europa League final on Thursday (5/17/2018) pm dawn next week.
