Former Barcelona president Joan Laporta has expressed his unease with the potential arrival of Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann at the Camp Nou.
Laporta has indicated that the Frenchman is overpriced, and that the Catalan club's supporters do not approve of his move to Barcelona.
"I think that most of the fans don't want him and also, because of his price tag, which I think is exaggerated," said Laporta.
"I think there are other players with a great impact that could perfectly do what Griezmann can do at Barcelona.
"If he comes we, all the Catalans will be the first to encourage him, as has happened with all the players who have come."
A few days ago, Laporta claimed that he is willing to run to once again become Barcelona president, with elections provisionally scheduled for 2021.

honestly I agree with Laporta on this one. No doubt griezmann is an excellent player but at this point in time given the problems we currently face in that team and of course the price tag, I will not sign Griezmann. I'll rather go for players in the ilk of Leroy Sane for obvious reasons, he's young, fast, skilful, can score and is cheaper than griezmann. I can also go for a player like Neres of Ajax for same reason as Sane. I can also go for Nicolas Pepe ... The list goes on and on. Griezmann will most likely give us 4 season tops which isn't a guarantee he'd perform at top level (Ask Mr. Coutinho). Nuff Said....
