Barcelona hierarchy is angry with Spanish defender, Gerard Pique after it emerged that the player’s company produced Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann’s announcement video where he snubbed a move to the Catalan giants.
Griezmann announced yesterday that he would be staying at Atletico Madrid, which ended any hope of Barcelona signing him.
The Frenchman made the announcement on Spanish TV and released a mini-documentary called “The Decision.”
Pique’s production company, Kosmos Studios, was behind the video and the Barcelona center-half himself teased the announcement before it went live.
Spanish outlet TV3 has reported that Barcelona are not happy with Pique’s involvement.
TV3 added that the club is annoyed a Barcelona player was involved in an announcement that effectively snubs the Catalan giants.
After the announcement, Pique took to his Twitter handle to say, “Another way to see the footballer’s life and his doubts to make the most important decision of his career.
“Thanks to the team Kosmos Studios and especially Antoine Griezmann for these last few weeks. You decided to stay at Atletico Madrid and I hope you have a great season.”
