5 reasons why Barcelona should not buy Antoine Griezmann

#2 Huge Squad List

Ernesto Valverde is reportedly bothered by a huge squad at the Catalan club

While Ernesto Valverde has already announced publicly that he isn't fond of extensive squad lists and wants to cut the list, Barcelona's problems of shredding weight off their bench have been severe.

"I like small squads. You don't have to exclude many players [from a match squad], and you can give opportunities to B team players." - Ernesto Valverde

While players like Gerard Deulofeu, Aleix Vidal, Javier Mascherano, and Rafinha being regarded as 'deadweights', a move regarding any of them hasn't reached a conclusion.

Several players have been linked with moves away from the Camp Nou, but none, except a loan-move for Arda Turan, have found their way out of Ernesto Valverde's team and Griezmann's arrival would only add another peg on Valverde's board.
