i was going through football new today and saw a rumour about Barcelona trying to keep Antoine Griezmann and philippe Coutinho, despite and the wages problem and the team financial crisis, lately Barcelona have been telling all the teams player to reduce their salary so the could register leo messi, i felt sorry for the newly signed Depay he had to cut 30% of his salary just to sign for Barcelona and even messi himself accepted 50% pay cut so as the renew his contract with the club
and there had been talk that Griezmann could return to Atletico Madrid in a swap deal for midfielder Saul Niguez but this is unlikely to true.
but to me i don't think keeping both Griezmann and philippe Coutinho is necessary, Coutinho should be sold or even both of them if possible Barcelona dont need them any longer.
am throwing it to the community here, i want to know your opinion on this, should Barcelona keep the both of them.

I think it is best the Catalan club offload this Coutinho and Griezmann to other club considering their poor form and due to the financial challenges they seem to facing.
I see no part leaving them in the team has they won't be regular starters especially Coutinho. Making some money off them would be the smart business idea before their career go crumbling to the ground.
I even wonder why they have the though of keeping them in the first place. No right think club will do that as it is quite glaring. Little there are in the mess they currently find themselves. I hope they do what is right before the summer transfer window closes.
i also buy the idea of offloading them because i don't see them adding anything to the team, they have became burden to the management, including Dembele with his unnecessary injuries.
Yeah. Dembele is also one that needs to go. Don't know why Barcelona still keeps such players. Liabilities are not needed in difficult financial times like this.
