Griezmann would allow Ernesto Valverde to use the 4-3-3 formation again

With Neymar's record move and Ousmane Dembele's season being blighted by injuries, Barcelona were forced to play in a 4-4-2 formation for the most part of the season. However, signing Antoine Griezmann could pave the way for Ernesto Valverde to use the 4-3-3 format that the Catalans have religiously followed over the years.

A midfield comprising of Philippe Coutinho, Ivan Rakitic and Sergio Busquets spearheaded by the trio of Griezmann, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez will be more than enough to send shivers down the spine of any opponent they face next season.

Of course, Dembele will see his game time being sacrificed in order to accommodate his French teammate. But, the 2017/18 season proved that the 21-year-old still needs time to adapt to the style of play and pressurizing him will be the last thing Barcelona would want to do.

While Dembele learns the Catalonian trade for the future, Griezmann can be an excellent option to safeguard Barcelona's present.
