Barcelona officially presented what will be its second kit for the campaign 2021 – 2022 . The shirt is totally purple, which is created from the fusion of the traditional colors (Red and blue). Also, the color of the uniform gives a value to gender equality.

Despite That, Messi’s face was not seen during the presentation, something that could be justified since the Argentine is currently a free agent in the absence of a new agreement with the Catalan club, so the Blaugrana institution cannot count on its image for any type of protocol act.

But what really caught the attention of many is the total absence of another of the club’s stars: Antoine Griezmann. The Frenchman who was one of the main faces that appeared at the launch of the first uniform was not seen, which has caused a wave of rumors that disconnect Barcelona from the French striker.
It must be remembered that Barcelona is in a delicate economic situation and will have to get rid of one of its figures to obtain financial benefits. In this sense, Griezmann has become the most dispensable option and there are already some rumors that link him again to Atlético de Madrid .
