The midfielder is in the spotlight of English clubs but at Camp Nou, they do not consider entering a bid, reports Mundo Deportivo.
The Barça will not match any offer for Saul. The Blaugrana and Atlético de Madrid reached an agreement in October last year for the right of redemption on five red and white footballers, including midfielder Saul.
In recent days, Manchester United and Manchester City's interest in the player has been published in England although Atletico's response has been clear referring to the release clause of 150 million euros. Anyway, whatever the price, Barca rules out any movement for the Spain international this year.
Barca paid 15 million euros to Atletico for this preference option. The legal coverage given to the agreement went through the acquisition by the club of a right of redemption with original price over half a dozen red and white players. It is not, therefore, a purchase option for the Azulgrana team on Atletico footballers, but simply the obligation of the team to match any offer that comes on a certain number of footballers.
Although the business, which the two clubs disassociated from the transfer of Griezmann has packaging, the objectives of Barca today are others, they go in another direction and towards other players, such as Lautaro and Neymar and even Fabián. All this provided that, in addition, Atletico is willing to sell, the player to leave the club and there is a team interested in their hiring. Only in this scenario is the club presided by Enrique Cerezo obliged to communicate in a short period of time to Barça the existing offer to give him the preferential option to match or improve it.
