Excuse me what? 700.000 euros a week? Dafuck? And how much did he earn by moving to Barca?

I think he took a pay cut moving to Barca

His pay was initially lower but afaIk his contract was structured in a way that over time his wages would rise to 700.000 and then above and at end of his contract he would’ve earned the same as if he always got 700.000 euros per week for the whole duration of his contract.

least short-term focused barca financial plan

It really was all a communication trick. They milked the whole "Griezmann wanted to come to Barcelona so much he took a pay cut" narrative, until the details started to leak in the press.

IIRC and if the numbers correct he was earning 700K at Atlético , took a paycut to join Barca and he was rumoured to be at 400K a week at Barca.
