Lionel Messi does not want the arrival of Antoine Griezmann

But little by little, the Catalan press reported the hesitation of the leaders blaugranas, especially because of a rejection of the locker room in Barcelona.

We are friends, we live beautiful things, others less, but we spend a lot of time together, "explained the Argentine in December. His request has in any case been heard since still according to RMC, Barça has come to the news with the PSG for Neymar. Unsuccessfully, since President Nasser Al-Khelaifi has failed the Catalan club.
