The scout who discovered Antoine Griezmann has claimed that the Frenchman is not enjoying life at Barcelona.
Griezmann became one of the most expensive players of all time when he swapped Atletico Madrid for Barca in a £108m deal last summer, but he has managed only eight league goals in 26 outings for the club this season.
The 29-year-old's strike rate is significantly worse than it was at Atletico, and Eric Olhats, who set up a trial for a 13-year-old Griezmann at Real Sociedad, admits that his protege has failed to live up to expectations at Camp Nou so far.
"When he left Atletico Madrid, I was sad to see the controversy that there was. It really affected me. I can understand why he would want to sign for Barcelona. Barca is Barca," Olhats told Mundo Deportivo.
"Other players and friends said that his game was going to fit in and adapt very well to the way Barca play, tiki-taka and all that, but I don't like his performances. You see that there are problems, that he isn't enjoying it.
"It hurts me because I know what he is capable of doing. He can give much more and he doesn't say anything. He tried to do it without saying anything. It seems that he does not receive as many passes from the other players, or as much from the boss."
Griezmann is just one goal short of 200 in his senior career, 133 of which came with Atletico.
