Antoine Griezmann joined Barcelona in the summer of 2019. The French International decided against a move to Camp Nou a year before, but he changed his heart to seal a move to the Blaugrana.

The 28-year-old earns more than Luis Suarez and will be hoping to perform on the pitch as well. The French International has scored two goals against Real Betis, but has produced inconsistent displays in the opening stage of his Barcelona career.

#9 Oscar

Oscar is one of the gifted Brazilian players, but he chose to sign for Shanghai Shenhua after losing his spot under Jose Mourinho. He had several offers from other European clubs, but a hefty salary from China was too hard to resist for the attacking midfielder.

It’s not fair to iterate that he’s tarnished his career, but he has struggled to nail down a spot in his national team after leaving Europe. Oscar still has the potential and could return to Europe.
