Griezmann and Semedo rekindle Atletico and Barça's relationship

Although the rumours have been denied by Barcelona, 'SER' revealed that FC Barcelona has been deep in negotiations for Antoine Griezmann since last March, and an agreement was reached in September to make it official in July, when his exit clause falls from 200 to 120 million euros.

As a result, Atlético Madrid is considering taking legal action against the Catalan club. However, Simeone, meanwhile, maintains his interest in Nélson Semedo as an option to strengthen the right flank, which has been left without a star player with Juanfran's departure.

This possible trade could rekindle the club's relationship, which has existed for a while and provided the transfers of David Villa and Arda Turan. The Asturian landed in the Vicente Calderon in August 2013 to replace Falcao, and he won the League and lost the final of the Champions League against Madrid in Lisbon with the Madrid club. 

The Turkish's transfer was less sucessful, as it began with half a year without being able to play due to a saction from FIFA and, when he had permission, he never really reached the expected level. Two and a half years later, Arda set off for Turkey with a two-and-a-half season loan to Istanbul Basaksehir. Not the best transfer for Barcelona.
