Atletico Madrid confirmed they have agreed a deal to sign French striker, Antoine Griezmann, permanently from Barcelona, on a contract until 2026.
Griezmann has been on loan at Atletico since August 2021 after a difficult spell at Camp Nou, following his 120 million euro move in 2019.
The 2018 World Cup winner was a key figure in coach Diego Simeone’s plans last season but has largely been reduced to substitute appearances in the current campaign as Atletico tried to escape paying a reported obligatory 40 million euro purchase fee if he played over a certain number of games.
With the World Cup approaching and Griezmann keen to feature more, Atletico and Barcelona negotiated a new deal, with Barcelona president Joan Laporta confirming the fee during the club’s members assembly on Sunday.
