Antoine Griezmann set to join Atletico Madrid on a permanent deal

Atletico Madrid has finally signed back Antoine Griezmann permanently from FC Barcelona. The La Liga giants were not ready to sell Griezmann but the player wanted to play for Diego Simeone’s side (Atletico Madrid). The French forward was keen to join Atletico Madrid last season and thus FC Barcelona sent him on loan.

There was a clause in the deal agreed by Barcelona and Atletico that though it is a loan deal, if the clubs agree then Atletico can sign them permanently. After seeing a good progress of the French star, Atletico decided to offer him the permanent deal and Griezmann never have doubts on this.

Antoine used to play for Atletico Madrid before and thus he knows the team very well. His career in Barcelona was decent.

“All documents ready for Barcelona and Atletico Madrid to complete and announce Antoine Griezmann deal very soon. Final fee: €20m guaranteed plus total €4m add-ons package,” tweeted Fabrizio Romano on his official Twitter handle.

Griezmann did play Atletico’s last game which happened this Saturday against Girona in the La Liga. They won it by 2-1 against Girona.
