The Spanish press this Sunday reveals several of Barcelona’s documents and contracts. The Sport newspaper publishes Antoine Griezmann’s contract with the club in 2019 – and in the summer market, the Frenchman returned to Atlético de Madrid on loan – and where the deal appears to have been covered by very high prices, with Griezmann being the highest paid after Messi.
Sport shows salaries, variables and bonuses, as well as values that he did not receive and that he will not receive now that he is back in Madrid. The contract consisted of two parts: fixed – 17 million in the first season (2019), which will grow to 21 million in the last, at the rate of one million per season until 2023/24. There was also a 2.5 million per season bonus if he played 60 percent of the time – he did it in both seasons.
There are several variables that depend on the collective performance – the Champions League or reaching the top three, which will cost 4 million – and the contract also provides for two other bonuses: signature and loyalty (remaining after the third year).
In total, the Frenchman received € 25.5 million gross in his first season at Barça (including a signature bonus of € 5 million, which is usually diluted throughout the contract, but obtained in full) and 21 million in the second year; If I received all the bonuses, I could get 33.5 million in the first, 29.5 in the second, 37.5 in the third, 38 in the fourth and 39 in the fifth, for a total of 177.5 million euros. Received 46.5.
