tommonufc Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Has anybody been able to sign Antione Griezmann from Bilbao's Basque rivals Real Sociedad? Been trying for the last three seasons and just can't offer him a contract. I've just won La Liga in the 3rd season, and reguraly in the Champions League, so it just seems ludicrous that the rivalry stops the player wanting to sign. Have seen a couple of people post saying that they've signed him, but just can't see how they have done; unless his contract runs out, gets transfer listed or Sociedad relegated. Any insight would be appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATW Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 He moved to Bayonne, which I believe is part of the French Basque region when he was 15 (while a youth at Sociedad). I have not looked into but can players take the Basque nationality in game? If some players can sign him for Athletic Club, I guess they can. Or they've added it.

Dirty_ACE Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Isn't on my save. He hasn't got a second nationality listed. What version of FM were you on when you started the career? I'm on 12.2.2 and he has a second nationality as Basque. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aha that may be the reason then. I started on 12.1.1 or whatever it was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
